Re: coeficient of friction
I haven't checked transverse numbers yet. But I have yet to get close to the 0.05 as advertised. On our school flooring we got 0.95 (static), then after some driving it went up to 0.18 (static). We got our FRP yesterday and with the worn in wheels go 0.11 (static) then we checked. Once I get a new set of wheels, we'll measure them on the FRP.
