Sean,
I intend to publish a quantitative analysis on wheel tread eventually. But for now we've found that comparatively: straight cut > diamond cut > uncut when it comes to simulated coefficient of friction in the forward direction.
Because the cut is perpendicular to the direction of motion, the forward component receives 100% of the vector's magnitude unlike the angled cuts in the diamond pattern.
The W set of VexPro wheels follow the same logic.
Wow, 3 people able to draw their designs using text in a script processor program. I guess I wasted my time learning all that CAD software - Gary Dillard [more]
