CG spreadsheet error

[chuter]

Question for Chuck B,

On the old forum there was discussion about error in the CG calculation spreadsheet, I had saved this from the old forum;
"The error, John and PJB, means things weren't as bad as indicated. The actual CG is higher by the amount of axle height, 6" or whatever the wheel radius."
Is that true? I've got 20" bicycle wheels so that could amount to quite an error. Should I do the calculation then add 10"?

Thanks much,

[C. Beaty]

Yeah, MG, the reference should have been axle centerline rather than the floor.

Your CG distance will be from axle height.

Thanks Chuck
