Why are all hubcaps terrible?
Hubcaps are the worst form of art ever created. Fact: there has never been a good looking hubcap.
Rims are just as bad, except for utility vehicles. Utility trucks look fine. That should be the standard. A lot of 60's rims look good.
All regular snap-on hubcaps should be this:

Re: Why are all hubcaps terrible?
I agree with Isaac. It only looks strange because barely any cars have it. If all cars had solid hubcaps the idea of putting holes in them would be strange.
Eh?
Re: Why are all hubcaps terrible?
So now that your rims are "pretty" according to you... how are you going to cool your brakes? That is what the holes are for, to allow airflow to the rotors and pads.
Re: Why are all hubcaps terrible?
Do the brakes of civilian, non racing vehicles need it though? I think not.
Eh?

Re: Why are all hubcaps terrible?
So the air that comes from under the vehicle, which hit the inside of the wheel, is not enough to cool the breaks? If not, air get sucked in or out through the tire's rim like a fan? Hmm... That means when you stop the breaks a extra hot because you're no longer moving, assuming you don't ride the break.
Air flow at 1 is 0%. Air at 2 is 100%. Air flow at 3 declines as pressure increases, making heat inicrease. When the process returns to 1, from 3, then the breaks are at their highest tempreature.
It's like a CPU fan that turns off when you need it most.
So I'll need to look this up to see how neccessary it really is to have an "air hole"...
Code: Select all
1: Car stopped = Breaks@ 100%
2: Car moving = Breaks @ 0 to .11111% # light tapping or no breaks
3: Car stops = Breaks@ 50% to 100%
4: Go back to 1

Re: Why are all hubcaps terrible?
I'm sure everyone here already knows this but to properly ventilate and diffuse heat you need two openings -- one where the cold air comes in and absorbs the heat from the wheel and one to let the now-hot air out.
Now I've totally aroused my curiosity.
Do you think it works better in a really cold climate (like ya know here?). I'd imagine that the wheels get so much hotter than the regular air that the ambient air temperature doesn't really matter but would it make a difference if you were in Mexico City in summer opposed to, say, Winnipeg in winter (with the normal -50 Celsius windchill, not like this winter )?
For that matter, does humidity make a difference?

Re: Why are all hubcaps terrible?
You know what hubcaps are called in a Japanese car, at least Toyota's, owner's manual?
Wheel ornaments!
Kind of sounds more apropos somehow. They cover the whole wheel, not just the bearing hubs.

Re: Why are all hubcaps terrible?
No, the clutch is only used to shift gears…the engine provides the braking.
Re: Why are all hubcaps terrible?
So you're going 60 and you need to go 30. If you let "the engine provide the breaking", you put it 4th and let the engine slow your speed. Dude, that's breaking with the clutch. You don't know how to drive a stick.Spidey wrote:the engine provides the braking.

Brakes on civilian vehicles (your beater, commuter, whatever you call it) need the cooling MORE because most discs are solid, and the larger ones are vented. The air gets taken inside through the vents on the wheels and is used to cool them off. Some of the brakes can get up to about 500 to 700 C. any more and they will be too hot to provide any decent braking and that's when you get fade. So blocking off any vents will let those suckers get to about 1000C and that's when they die.
oh and issac.. you're wrong. and here's why.
braking with the engine doesn't involve the clutch at all. You're going sixty and you want to slow down to fourty. you de clutch, bring up the RPM to match the new speed, shift into gear and let the clutch out. Done right with the revs matched the clutch sees no friction whatsoever.

The clutch is only disengaged (slipping) during the SHIFT. Once you release the clutch pedal to begin the engine braking the clutch pads are totally clamped on the clutch disc's. No slipping or "clutching" happening.
Its the compression of the engine slowing the car.
So the clutch is not accruing any wear during engine braking.
The clutch pads see the most wear during the initial launch from a complete stop when you have to let the clutch out slowly, slipping it.

Re: Why are all hubcaps terrible?
It gets even more involved when you factor in CVT transmissions. Not only is engine compression at work but on the fly gear changes too.

Re: Why are all hubcaps terrible?
These guys are correct, Isaac. Using the engine to decelerate by shifting to a lower gear doesn't wear the clutch, and it's fine on the engine.
Those of us who drive around the mountains know how crucial it is to be able to do so. (I still chuckle at all the tourists riding their brakes down Pike's Peak who get stopped at the checkpoint to wait 'til their red-hot brakes cool off.)

Re: Why are all hubcaps terrible?
Sorry dudes. Engine breaking / clutch breaking is not normal use AT ALL. You should avoid engine breaking when possible. The only reason you do it is in specific cases when you A) have no other choice B) because you're worried about loosing your breaks. Every other case is wrong.
For starters, I have driven the same car for over 19 years and nothing on the transition, including the clutch, has ever needed to be replaced. If you had to replace a clutch or a transition it's your fault.
FINE!! Don't listen to me, because I'm crazy Isaac, so listen to the experts:
Maybe you live in a place with 10 billion hills? I guess it can depend on where you live. In Texas, especially south Texas, it's rare.

It's the clutch that takes the punishment. Think about it. If you shifted up from first gear to fifth and then downshifted all the way back down again, you'd be using your clutch twice as often, and therefore wearing it out twice as fast, right? And a clutch can cost many hundreds of dollars.

Re: Why are all hubcaps terrible?
Isaac, that column you posted said exactly what the folks here said:
- For driving on relatively flat roads, use normal brakes.
- For driving on inclines, use engine braking (downshifting).
No one here is suggesting using engine braking on flat roads.
P.S. Driving in mountainous/inclined roads *is* "normal driving" in many many places.
P.S.S. Just because this is bugging me: It's "brakes"/"braking", not "breaks"/"breaking".

Re: Why are all hubcaps terrible?
Electric vehicles still need traditional friction brakes because the amount of braking torque at the motors is limited by the maximum electrical resistance of the battery which varies by charge level (unless your car uses super capacitors as a buffer).
Re: Why are all hubcaps terrible?
Gee, noone here has some imagination what the future looks like ? I said "able to". E-car development focusses on trying to minimize energy waste (which a conventional braking system does very well, wasting energy.) I'm pretty confident that there's major research going on trying to minimize energy loss by heat, thus making closed-rim wheel very possible in the near future (and likely since there's reduced air resistance in this too.)
Re: Why are all hubcaps terrible?
I even downshift and use the engine for braking on flat roads. It works and what I have to show for it are pads that are three years old that STILL look brand new. Even the rotors have almost zero wear on them.
How do I know this? well, I changed out my CV joints last night and had a good look at em.

Re: Why are all hubcaps terrible?
I think Isaac is thinking in terms of stop and go city driving, where for the most part you would use your brake to come to a stop at all of the red lights, using the clutch only to shift up thru the gears.
Not all driving is done in stop and go traffic…on highways and rural roads you up and down shift accordingly…
Example:
You are moving at 60mph, and you approach a turn you must take at 35, you then downshift before the turn, then accelerate out of the turn, and return to the higher gear, after you gain the speed back.
If you apply stop and go thinking to that scenario, you would brake before the turn, slow down to 35, then have to downshift after the turn anyway. (or face the bog)
You and me on a race track Isaac, I would eat you alive.
