  Unicycle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Unicycles are comprised of a few key parts: the wheel, which includes the tire, tube, rim, spokes, hub and axle; the cranks and pedals; the frame; the seatpost; and the saddle.
The wheel is the main part of the unicycle; it is usually a bicycle wheel rim and spokes with a special hub that doesn't freewheel, which means the axle can't turn independently of the hub.
Impossible wheel:(Also known as a BC wheel) a wheel with pegs or metal plates sticking out for the rider to stand on.

 Riding the Impossible Wheel   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The impossible wheel (or BC wheel as some call it) is basically a single wheel with pegs connected to the axel.
First, the type of impossible wheel I have is one where the pegs are mounted on the axel of a 20" wheel, and they drop down about an inch or more.
Once the wheel is rolling I jog after it, running behind it and determining the speed it is rolling.

 S/S Continuous
The S/S continuous loop wheel has a hub with a 5/8" bore and is designed to be used with a Ford starter motor having a long shaft with a 1/4" hole in the end of the shaft.
When installing the wheel, be sure the end of the bolt in the hub of the wheel is tightened down onto the flat spot.
The alternative and commonly used method for installing this style wheel is to slide it onto the shaft and align the holes in the hub of the wheel with the hole in the end of the motor shaft.

 impossible wheel   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The impossible wheel, also known as the BC wheel (after the comic strip B.C.), represents the most basic type of unicycle, consisting of a single spoked wheel with pegs extending from the axle.
The impossible wheel has of course no practical place in general transportation.
In practice, the pegs would rotate with the wheel, making it, as the name implies, impossible to stand on.

 Anti-wheel-lock control system - Patent 4497026
The changes in the speed signals are physically impossible, and the disturbances are eliminated by a circuit (15, 16, 27, 28, 29) which recognizes physically impossible changes in the wheel speed by comparing the actual speed signals with a simulation threshold at which changes in speed are physically impossible.
If such physically impossible outputs are recognized, the signal from the transducer is not applied to the wheel slip control system but, rather, inhibited, and an auxiliary signal, based on a previously measured and normal signal is, instead, connected.
The wheel speed signal, processed in block 12, is delivered continuously, but somewhat delayed, to memory element 18 which may be termed a "prior speed memory", and this value is stored unitl the appearance of the next subsequent speed value signal, so long as the error memory 17 has not been set.

 ROCKCRAWLER.com - Spidertrax Wheel Spacers
If you like the wheels that are on your vehicle and you wish to install an over-sized tire that normally would not fit under your vehicle on your existing rims, then perhaps you should consider wheel spacers manufactured by Spidertrax and for around $250.00 per set of four.
These are deep wheels with 5.5 inch backspacing, which is almost certainly too much backspacing for a tire over 12 inches wide on a TJ (without trimming).
The wheel spacer is not mounted to the wheel first, as the picture shows.

 [No title]
This form of "overbalanced" wheel was supposed to continually keep more weight on one side of the axle than the other.
Supposedly this would cause the wheel to turn one direction or the other, we can't be sure which, because all such wheels stubbornly refuse to turn on their own, and if given a push, they turn no longer than a simple wheel would.
To show students that if the wheel is given a push to set it turning, it comes to a stop just as soon as it would if the "overbalancing" weights weren't there.

Using the longer bolts it was easy to bolt this spacer between the wheel and the hub adapter.

Interestingly, the wheel came out when the game was supposed to launch months ago, and now the game finally caught up with it.
The wheel sports 900 degrees of rotation, as well as the normal 270 degrees we’re used to, and you can switch between the two modes at will.
While most wheels and pads are content to just kind of jitter in your hands this wheel gives you actual, honest, feedback.

As the wheel turned, the mercury was supposed to move within the containers in such a way that the wheel would always be heavier on one side of the axle.
All forces exerted by the liquid upon the circumference of the wheel are normal to the wheel's surface, and therefore pass through the wheel's rotation axis.
We know the wheel will have no tendency to rotate because if we imagine a virtual displacement of the wheel through any angle, the system would still be just the way it was before, with no change in its energy and no change in configuration.

 Finish Line Steering Wheel Adaptor for Momo Wheels
Disconnecting the connectors is impossible if you don't slide the boot back an inch or two, easy if you do.
The only problem I had was I thought I had the steering wheel lined up properly before removing it, but I still managed to mount the adaptor one "tooth" off, which had me driving with the wheel rotated about 10 degrees.
It didn't take too long to remove the wheel and hub and correct it (although I was sure it would be off the other direction until I actually drove it).
