wheel

A wheel is a circular component that is intended to rotate on an axle bearing. The wheel is one of the key components of the wheel and axle which is one of the six simple machines. Wheels, in conjunction with axles, allow heavy objects to be moved easily facilitating movement or transportation while supporting a load, or performing labor in machines. Wheels are also used for other purposes, such as a ship's wheel, steering wheel, potter's wheel, and flywheel.
Common examples can be found in transport applications. A wheel reduces friction by facilitating motion by rolling together with the use of axles. In order for wheels to rotate, a moment needs to be applied to the wheel about its axis, either by way of gravity or by the application of another external force or torque. Using the wheel, Sumerians invented a device that spins clay as a potter shapes it into the desired object.

    Polystyrene airpump and gunge holder.

    Hi, I have just ordered a spacesaver spare wheel, tool kit and wheel bag for my MG4. Is it possible to remove the polystyrene tray that holds the gunk pump and gubbins? The extra space would be useful.

    Spare wheel on the Xpower

    I see on the main MG4 forum there is a thread around fitting a full size spare in the boot, I've seen various space saver spare kits advertised on Amazon and Ebay, but has anyone put a spare in the Xpower? Is there room to fit one under the boot floor?

    Full size spare wheel for MG4?

    I hate the idea of the bottle of tire-destroying-gloop as being my way home in the event of a puncture. In my previous car (Nissan Qashqai) I pulled out that polystyrene former from under the boot and bought a full sized wheel to go under there (it fit, just) and although I never needed it in...

    Full size spare wheel / tyre, Excite 51. Load ratings for after market rims.

    I got a multifit after-market spare rim from Bob Jane as a full size spare for an Excite 51. The load rating of the spare rim is 581kg. The load rating of the factory supplied rim is about 670 kg. Is the load rating of the new spare rim ok for an Excite 51?

    ZS Hybrid heated steering wheel

But no it didn't, but it did get the heated seeats which are great here in the middle of Winter with -2 degrees C overnight...

    Detailed Look at the Dash, Driver Display and Steering Wheel Functions

    As the .pdf owners manual on the MGS5 provides so little information about the infotainment system, this might be helpful . . . or like us early owners, you can just spend hours playing with all the settings.

    FDR error B19C9 due to wheel alignment

    I blew a tire and had to drive the car to a safe spot before changing it. During that time, I had to steer the wheel about 20 degrees to the left for the car to travel straight. Shortly after, error codes B19C9 and B19CA appeared. I performed the FDR Drive Calibration, but it did not clear the...

    I am getting a Dynamic Red GT and looking for Scratch and Dent and Alloy Wheel Insurance. Any recommendations for companies that cover the Cyberster? I used ALA for my last car but they would not offer the Scratch and Dent policy as I had a pearlescent paint (Daytona Gray).
