wheel

A wheel is a circular component that is intended to rotate on an axle bearing. The wheel is one of the key components of the wheel and axle which is one of the six simple machines. Wheels, in conjunction with axles, allow heavy objects to be moved easily facilitating movement or transportation while supporting a load, or performing labor in machines. Wheels are also used for other purposes, such as a ship's wheel, steering wheel, potter's wheel, and flywheel.
Common examples can be found in transport applications. A wheel reduces friction by facilitating motion by rolling together with the use of axles. In order for wheels to rotate, a moment needs to be applied to the wheel about its axis, either by way of gravity or by the application of another external force or torque. Using the wheel, Sumerians invented a device that spins clay as a potter shapes it into the desired object.

    Steering wheel - peeling/flaking "leather".

    Will post some photos soon. We've had our (second hand) 72 plate ZS EV Long Range since February. We bought it with 14k on the clock and it's currently at 20k. It's generally been problem free. However a couple of months ago, we noticed the false leather coating which covers most of the...

    Steering wheel switch (left) reset

    Hi all Every now and then (sometimes every day, sometimes only once now and then) the left hand switch on the steering wheel will lose its function (ie be reset to no function) and I have to go into convenience in the menu and reset it. Anyone else have this issue?

    Archived MG5 spare wheel & new tyre

    I bought it from someone here when I bought the pre-facelift MG5 and it has never been used. It fits in the spare wheel well. I've no idea if it will fit the new MG5 I am collecting next week but I no longer need it. It isn't MG but is, I think, a Volkswagen/Audi part but I was assured it will...

    Would anyone be interested in a wheel swap?

    I'm thinking about getting a new MG5 Trophy, but don't like the wheels. Would anyone with a nearly new SE with unmarked wheels be interested in a free Trophy wheel upgrade by swapping wheels with myself if I get one? You would need to be within a reasonable driving distance of DN37, and I'd...

    Rear wheel bias on dual motor?

    Hi All, Just joined the forum and enjoyed catching up on the link to the videos of the cyberster. Does anyone know if the GT dual motor is still rear bias? Looking at both models, tempted by the trophy single motor with it's rear wheel drive rather then 4 wheel drive. Anyone driven them back...

    MG4 Ticking/Rattling Noise Coming From Behind The Steering Wheel

    Hello, my car is an MG4 Luxury with 21,000 km on it. At 20,000 km, a ticking noise started coming from behind the steering wheel. The noise appears at around 15 km/h and becomes inaudible at 60 km/h. It is definitely not a trim noise; it's a mechanical sound, but I haven't been able to figure...

    Decorative Skin

    I've noticed the decorative skin/film over the shiny black parts of the steering wheel are bubbling; and in one area the edge of the trim is breaking up. Before I make a complete idiot of myself, can anyone confirm that this 'film' is or isn't permanent, and could be peeled off, like, say, the...

    Aero wheel cover won't stay on

    I picked up a new MG4 LR Trophy last week. I noticed that the offside rear wheel cover wasn't on properly. I wish now I'd mentioned it to the dealer but I just pushed it back on and drove home. When I arrived home the cover was close to falling off completely. Since then I have tried many...

    Archived MG4 SE wheel trims - as new

    Hi, I have the four original wheel trims taken off my MG4 (SE SR, 2023). They had done 5000 miles as the car was a demonstrator, but don't have any marks or scratches. I took them off my car the day I got it and they are getting dusty in the garage. On Ebay a scratched one is £60 for one! I...

    Rumbling sound - once per wheel turn

    In the last few months, a cyclic rumbling sound has developed. Each wheel rotation comes with a dull thud creating a rumbling sound worst at 20, 60 and 80 mph. No vibration, MG checked and say AOK. Drive train seems OK, discs look OK but when rusty you do hear a slight sound as they clear the...

    MG4 Wheel inserts to replace aero covers

    I have now developed a set of models which can be 3D printed to allow people to replace the aero cover with these inserts to better style the wheels of a MG4. Currently they are only for display only as the clips holding them in will not hold when driven right now, but will be very soon more...
