The Benefits of Puncturesafe in a 2 Wheeled Vehicle The benefits of Puncturesafe in a 2 wheeled vehicle • Will permanently seal punctures caused by puncturing objects up to 6mm • The seal is guaranteed for the life of the tyre • Punctured – Puncturesafe seals giving a telltale mark • Perfect air retention state in the tyre • Helps extend tyre life. • Improved handling of the machine • Dampens vibrations, reduced suspension failure • No excessive heat, no excessive tyre wear • Applied before the puncture occurs • Is not a foam or a get you home product • Controls most blow-outs by giving a controlled deflation • Makes the "inner tyre" cooler • A 700 ml DIY bottle will do 2 or 3 tyres Puncturesafe provides the answers to a motorcycle puncture, as apart from sealing all punctures caused by objects up to 6mm in diameter, in the event of a larger area of damage Puncturesafe will provide protection from rapid deflation by giving a controlled deflation - possibly allowing the rider to get the motorcycle home, or away from a dangerous location. Owing to greatly improved heat transfer from the inner tread area to the wheel, because of sidewall coverage of Puncturesafe, the life of the tyre will be extended, probably one of the reasons tyre manufacturers do not recommend its use! Puncturesafe has the ability to virtually eliminate tyre pressure loss - even during long term storage. Most importantly, Puncturesafe does not repair a puncture in a tyre, it “seals” the puncture, which means that unlike the conventional patch, the tyre cannot fail owing to excessive heat! Some of the following comments and technical content are from an article published in the National BMW Motorcycle Club magazine by its technical officer Mike Fishwick, and is reproduced here with his permission. After a puncture on a motorcycle, temporary repair sealants, such as the various aerosol packaged products are a quick way to become mobile again, but can only be used after coming to a stop. They are not suitable for prolonged use, and because they are solvent based, attach themselves tenaciously to the inside of the tyre casing, in most cases their composition is such that tyre specialists will refuse to repair a tyre which has been internally coated with these get you home products. In the case of ultra-low profile tyres such as Z rated types found on many modern motorcycles a flat tyre could be a very expensive experience. The fitting of a vulcanised plug is not always possible if the puncture is close to the sidewall, and a limit of one repair per tyre is usually enforced. Many specialists will not even attempt to repair these tyres. Even a gentle stop from speed can cause severe damage to the sidewalls, not to mention the wheel rims. Even without a puncture it is possible to experience a rapid deflation if the motorcycle is run over a rock. Assuming that one manages to stop without injury or damage, there is the nightmare of recovery - often with additional delay because a motorcycle is involved, at horrendous cost. The recovery operation may itself cause damage to a motorcycle if it is badly secured to the spectacle type frame designed to support the front wheels of a car, and may only take you to the nearest garage or service area. It may then be found that the sidewalls and perhaps also the rims are damaged. Then there is the problem of finding a tyre specialist who will repair or change a tyre, not to mention the delay in obtaining a motorcycle tyre of the required size and type, particularly on a weekend. Then comes the cost of the tyre itself, labour charges for fitting it, and also to remove and replace the rear wheel - Honda Goldwing owners weep at the thought of this. There is also the general hassle of being a motorcyclist in a system designed for car drivers. This can be expressed in terms of further damage to the rims, lack of dynamic balancing, and general bodging by those who are unused to the more specialised and delicate requirements of a motorcycle. A simple puncture could cost a motorcyclist a full day and from two to several hundred pounds. When one adds up the total cost of a simple puncture it can be a major problem.

  • Fit and Adjust a Sidecar on Your Motorcycle; Three-Wheeling
    How to Fit and Adjust a Sidecar on your Motorcycle; Three-wheeling. D. A. Hobbs About the author Daryl Hobbs has been a qualified motorcycle mechanic for over twenty years. During that time he has patched, tuned, fixed, repaired, reconditioned and restored over 70 makes of motorcycle – of course this number has been assisted by owning over 20 makes. Occasionally he would buy one just because he hadn’t worked on that make or model. As a mechanic, accurate and useful information has always been important and the one area that doesn’t seem to have been catered for that well is information on fitting and adjusting sidecars. The authors baptism into the world of sidecars was attaching a second had box to a Russian made Ural. Aware that he would have to readjust just about everything; the adjustments were left a little loose on ride number one. Unfortunately the first left hand corner was in front of a pub with the usual company assembled on the front verandah. The sidecar, realising there were spectators, took a bow (toward the ground) that veered the outfit into the weeds on the wrong side of the road. If you own an outfit, tighten everything. The second outfit was a safer bet having been securely attached for over 30 years, it was a BSA M21 road painters outfit and very good indeed. The sidecar frame had comparable springing to the bike (not much), a comparable third motorcycle wheel that provides a good rolling and steering ability; you just had to leave a little earlier than everyone else to get places.

Michelin Pilot Power : - Its advantages....................................................................................... Page 2 - Benefiting from a number of components previously reserved for MotoGP................................................................................................ Pages 3-4 - A tread pattern with a very low void ratio and a design that enhances its sporting feel.................................................................... Pages 5-7 - A specific profile and construction..................................................... Pages 8-9 1 Advantages of the Michelin Pilot Power · Exceptional dry and wet grip - Very soft rubber: Shore hardness measurements – 58 – confirm that the Michelin Pilot Power is the softest of the hypersport tyres currently available on the market. It is 6% softer than its nearest competitor. Michelin’s unique compound mixes and use of 100% silica ensures that there is no compromise in terms of durability, that is normally associated with soft compound tyres. Source : At Michelin’s Research and Development Centre, shore hardness measurements have confirmed that the 180/55 ZR 17 tyre is at the same level as the rest of the Pilot Power range. This technique consists of measuring the resistance of the rubber with a calibrated truncated cone plunger with a steel blade corresponding to a hardness of 100. All measurements of rubber compounds provide comparative values if the tests are performed under the same temperature conditions. The lower the figure, the softer the rubber. - A very low void ratio: The measurements of a triangulation laser* at the research and testing centre in Ladoux confirm the very low void ratio of the Michelin Pilot Power with respect to competitors’ tyres. The Michelin Pilot Power has a very low void ratio of 13.28% at the front and 11.58% at the rear.

  • Hans B. Pacejka (1934–2017): a Life in Tyre Mechanics
    VEHICLE SYSTEM DYNAMICS https://doi.org/10.1080/00423114.2020.1740748 OBITUARY Hans B. Pacejka (1934–2017): a life in tyre mechanics Hans Pacejka, famous for his work on tyre mechanics, died on 17 September 2017, peace- fully at home. He was 83 years old. The cause of death was an incurable liver disease, from which he had suffered already for some years (Figure 1). Figure 1. Hans B. Pacejka, 1934–2017. Hans Pacejka was born in the city of Rotterdam in the Netherlands, on 12 Septem- ber 1934, in an Austrian family. His parents, Eduard S. Pacejka and Edith Messmer, were originally from Vienna and emigrated to the Netherlands in 1932. His father, Eduard, was already familiar with the Netherlands through a World War I humanitarian children’s act. After that war, ill-fed Austrian children were sent to foster parents in the Netherlands for nourishment. After Eduard finished his secondary school in the Netherlands, he went back to Austria to study mechanical engineering at the Vienna University of Technology. Directlyaftergraduation,hemarriedEdithMessmerandstartedlookingforajob.Inthe meantime, his foster parents from the Netherlands were working at the TMS Technicum in Rotterdam, a polytechnical school oriented towards an engineering education. They offered Eduard a job as a teacher at the Technicum, and in 1932, Eduard and Edith emi- grated to the Netherlands. In that same year, they were naturalised, and in 1933, their first child, Edith Marijke Pacejka, was born. The next year, 1934, Hans Bastiaan Pacejka was born. After having finished primary school, partly through home education because of World War II, Hans started his secondary school education in Rotterdam at the Erasmiaans Gym- nasium in 1946.
