Sariel Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 A substantial update of wheels.sariel.pl is now live. Important: please refresh the page if you’ve been there before. Change log: - moving cursor over an item now displays subparts of a wheel: a rim and a tire, each being separate link to the Bricklink’s catalog. This does not apply to single-piece wheels. - moving cursor over a wheel’s subpart – a rim or tire – now displays a list of matching tires for rims, and matching rims for tires. Again, each image is a separate link to the Bricklink’s catalog. - the list’s header now stays on screen when scrolling down and up - some diameters are now shown with greater accuracy - almost all items now include rim and tire widths - several new wheels added to the list I hope the tool serves you better now. Please share info here if you encounter any bugs. Quote
jantjeuh Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Someone has been playing around with jQuery Looks nice and useful, thanks! Quote
Appie Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Awesome, I was just using this yesterday to find some wheels that would fit my MOC for TC6 a little better (seriously hope I manage to finish it in time) and now it is even better. Great work Sariel! Quote
mahjqa Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 (edited) Could you add this rim? http://www.bricklink...tem.asp?P=44292 It's no longer in production, but personally I think it's useful because it can be connected to this: which is something I find very useful.

Sariel Posted February 1, 2015 Author Posted February 1, 2015 I could, but I don't have it so I can't measure it (Lego tire/rim names tend to be a milimeter or few off, strangely) nor weigh it. Quote
miguev Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Cool! Works very smoothly. I don't remember seeing this before, but I force-refreshed the page just in case :) Still, I couldn't see the rim-and-tire pop-up coming out for the black wheel with black tire and total width 68.8mm / 2.71" / 8.6studs. Also, I can't seem to find tire #11957 (from set 42007) that goes with rim #88517, or any wheel using that rim come to that. Quote
Sariel Posted February 1, 2015 Author Posted February 1, 2015 That's because the list only covers the wheels I own, because I do all the measuring and weighing. Quote
miguev Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Would you accept measurements (size & weight) from others? Maybe you could advice how to do them consistently with yours, and only publish numbers once you have a few sources that agree... Quote
Sariel Posted February 2, 2015 Author Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) I guess I could even publish numbers from a single trusted source :) The problem is that for a really trustworthy, accurate measurements you'll need a caliper, ideally a digital one. It's not a commonly owned piece of equipment, but it's really useful. Edited February 2, 2015 by Sariel Quote
