I have a simple question for you but a difficult one for me.
My bicycle rim manufacturer tells me that the carbon bicycle rim brakes at 900 pounds
of pressure.
If we have a cyclist of 300 pounds riding at 30 mph and he hits a pot hole for example.
What is the amount of pressure/force he will build up on that impact ?
If that is more than 900 pounds i would think the rim will break ?
I know it is difficult because you have tires around it that absorbed the shock in real life.
Maybe you could help me out with some kind of calculation that gives me an idea ?
Thank you
