Very interesting stuff! A deceased nodding acquaintence (Ritty Feinman) once
did an analysis of a frisbee. When thrown and spinning it develops a wobble
which is one half the spin speed, as I recall (been a lomg time ago). Since
the frisbee is spinning like a gyro which is similar to a bike wheel, I
wonder if the bike wheel could have the same spin induced wobble?
