Bicycle wheel how well the wheel transmits propulsive and braking forces, if applied at the hub, as in the case of hub or disc brakes. Several factors affect these stiffnesses to varying degrees. These include wheel radius, rim bending and torsional stiffness, number of spokes, spoke gauge, lacing pattern, hub stiffness, hub flange spacing, hub radius. In general lateral and radial stiffness decreases with the number of spoke crossings and torsional stiffness increases with the number of spoke crossings. One factor that has little influence on these stiffnesses is spoke tension. Too much spoke tension, however, can lead to catastrophic failure in
Carcassonne: Wheel of Fortune not involve any new mechanics (primarily from "Carcassonne: Inns and Cathedrals", "Carcassonne: Traders and Builders", and "Carcassonne: King and Scout"). However, certain tiles have additional markings significant to this expansion. The new feature of "Wheel of Fortune" is the namesake wheel, which takes the place of the starting tile. The wheel consists of a number of spaces, and players, in place of placing followers on the tile they just played, may place tiles on spaces along the rim of the wheel. Each space on the wheel may have one or two spaces on the rim. In addition, a pig-shaped marker
