Bike wheel skips under pressure | Forums

[rlmergeuser]

I'm making a fast paced skill game with some things glued to the bike, when going really fast sometimes the wheel slides out from under the bike. I suspect this is the result of too much weight and torque mashing together and something just has to give. I was wondering, however, if there was any way to prevent this from happening.

Obviously reducing the weight and/or speed of some things would help, but I was curious to see if there were any less obvious solutions.

When you say "Slides out from under the bike" what exactly do you mean?
The bike forces itself upside down due to too much speed? The wheel actually comes off?

This cleared up, I might be able to help. Also, how much weight have you got attached to the bike, and is it evenly spread, or just on the back/front?

What I meant is that the wheel gets deformed and pops out on the z-axis for a moment before returning to normal. It looks very strange and causes the bike to behave strangely for the short duration of this skip.

I should add that the bike durability is set pretty high (around 700). Under more standard conditions, the bike would probably fly apart.
