Rudge-Whitworth wire wheels - balancing cones


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

a friend of mine ask me to make a set of balancing cones

for Rudge-Whitworth wire wheels, we have the dimension "42" on our TRs.

I'm pretty shure about all dimensions - but not the cone angle in the central nut.

At the internet I found only one historic documents with 2 x 10°, on my spare wire wheel I measure about 2 x 8-8.5 degree.

Is 10° correct for the nut and 8-8.5° for the rim to be compressed?

How knows and can confirm, please?

Ciao, Marco

Hi Peter,

thank you for your effort,

I did not knew your link and it offers very interesting information.

For my question most useful is this webside, the 2nd sketch http://www.studegarage.com/indycar/hubs.html

It shows the inner cone on the hub 60° and the outer cone in the nut 20° (2 x 10°).

Ciao, Marco
