Sideslip and camber tyre properties, the forces and moments a tyre generates as it rolls forward under different circumstances, have been found to be important to motorcycle dynamics. A similar situation may be expected to exist for bicycles, but limited bicycle tyre data and a lack of the tools necessary to measure it may contribute to its absence in bicycle dynamics analyses. Measuring these properties requires holding the tyre at a fixed orientation with respect to the pavement and its direction of travel, and then measuring the lateral force and torque about the steer axis generated as the tyre rolls forward. Devices exist for measuring these characteristics of automobile tyres. One device is known to exist specifically for motorcycle tyres, and it has been used at least once on bicycle tyres, but the minimum load it can apply is nearly double the actual load carried by most bicycle tyres. This paper presents a low-cost device that measures bicycle tyre cornering stiffness and camber stiffness.
