It's not just about the rim size but it's the tire size diameter and width, that will in the end dictate the moment of inertia. If your going to do it, do it right is all I'm saying.
maybe you misunderstood. I measured with a photogate. Hence the "it's a lot easier to measure"

I'm pretty sure I'm not the one struggling to understand the physics involved
