Brakes and Tires

Vehicles require brakes and tires to be steered and controlled. Tires allow better vehicle performance by providing a flexible cushion to absorb the shock, while brakes control the spin of the tires, thus controlling the speed of the vehicle.

How fast do bike tires rotate at 15mph?

Short answer = 15 MPH on the outside edge of the wheel assuming no slippage. or about 174 RPM

Long answer:

For each unit of length that the bike moves forward, the outside edge of the wheel must travel the same distance, assuming no slippage.

For an RPM "speed":

Lets assume this is a road bike wheel, and that it happens to be a 29" diameter wheel.

That would mean the the circumference of the wheel is approximately 29" * 3.14 = 91"/12 = 7.6 feet

Assuming no slippage, for each inch of wheel circumference that travels around, you will move forward 1 inch.

So, each revolution of the wheel corresponds to 7.6 feet of forward travel.

A little bit of math gives us.

15 miles per 1 hour * 5280 feet per mile / 60 minutes per hour = 1320 feet per minute.

So if your moving across the ground at 1320 feet per minute, your wheel circumference must be moving the same 1320 feet per minute. We know that the circumference of the wheel is about 7.6 feet. So with 1320/7.6 = 174 we know the wheel must make 174 revolutions to make up the 1320 feet per minute.

So the wheel is spinning at 174 RPM.

Brake pedal hisses while depressed?

Answer

It's the hydraulics in your pedal, and it's normal to hear some slight hissing. If you hear a lot of air, and it seems like your breaks aren't working, then have it checked out.

If the hissing is louder than normal or gets louder as you depress the brake, it could very well be the power brake booster. If it almost stalls the engine while holding the brake down, this would indicate an excess loss of vacuum in the system, which helps control the engine operation. If this is the case, there is a good chance the booster has gone bad, and needs to be replaced.

One other item to look for is less responsive braking than normal, in other words, you are having to push down further or harder than normal to slow or stop the vehicle. The power booster is what gives you "power assisted brakes".
