    Moment of Inertia of Bike Wheel

    Hi, I have conducted a few simple experiments involving a very ordinary, road going bike wheel. I came up with a value for the moment of inertia of 0.17kgm2 I really have no idea if I am in the right ballpark with that value, would anybody be able to enlighten me as to if that is a feasible...
