Bicycle Tyre Data - Lateral Characteristics

Measurement of lateral characteristics of bicycle tyres performed through indoor test-rig VeTyT (Department of Mechanical Engineering, Politecnico di Milano, Milan IT). The test-rig for bicycle tyres complies with the standard ISO 9001-2015. Specifically, we measured lateral force and self-aligning torque varying vertical load, inflation pressure, camber angles, for a batch of bicycle tyres. Authors’ disclaimer The data produced in this paper are not -and cannot be- related in any way on the quality of the products that have been tested. Actually, only one single tyre per type has been tested and the data have been acquired in a laboratory, which is not the real environment. Relevant factors defining the quality of tyres are not -and cannot be- addressed in this paper.
