>>135543160 inch is the ultra future
the advantages are numerous
the hub bearings will be turning at a lower speed (perhaps slow enough to allow needle roller bearings)
and the tire will be less prone to overheating and wear due to its lower relative speed and greater surface area compared to a smaller wheel
the size of the wheel would make relatively light rim brakes more effective
long spokes give a more comfortable ride
but there is a slight problem
penny farthing hour record 35.400 km
Safety bicycle hour record 55.089 km
the next step is to have a carbon fiber everything
along with large pneumatic tires on aero disk wheels
a more recumbent posture along with some aerodynamic faring
and lastly epicyclic hub drive or nuvinci to gain some gear inches
