Proposal 34: Explicit wheel size rules [ Revision 3 ]
Committee: Track & FieldSubmitted on 2015-03-24
Status: Passed on April 12, 2015
Background
It occurred to me that we don't really prescribe the 20" wheelsize limit for young riders, nor the 24" wheelsize for all other riders (11 and up).
Proposal
OLD RULE
2.1.3 Wheel Sizes
Wheel sizes for track racing are 20”, 24” and 29”. Additional groups for 16” or other wheels can be added. Age groups for sizes less than 24” should allow for riders of those ages to also ride 24” wheels with older riders, hence the 0-13 (24”) group. All riders in age groups between 0 and 10 will race a 10m Wheel Walk, and 10m Ultimate Wheel, if used (instead of 30m).
NEW RULE
2.1.3 Wheel Sizes
Wheel sizes for track racing are 20”, 24” and 29”. Additional groups for 16” or other wheels can be added. When not otherwise specified, 24" is the maximum wheel size above age 10. For age groups with a maximum age of 10 or younger, the maximum wheel size is 20" (or less, if smaller sizes are also used). The youngest age group for 24" wheels should have a minimum age of 0, so riders 10 and younger have the option of racing on 24" with those groups (e.g. 0-13 or 14-16). All riders in age groups with a maximum age of 10 or younger will race a 10m Wheel Walk, and 10m Ultimate Wheel, if used (instead of 30m).
Body
Or did I miss it and is this already regulated somewhere already?
I created a proposal rightaway without starting a discussion first, because of the deadline for new proposals of 25 March.
