I have not read the article but do understand why they have ot been rated and
that is because we all seem have to have our own preferences as to features
that are improtant to us
.Our stature and style of throwing can affect the fit of a certain size and
configuration wheel not to mention what we sit upon and if that is included,
then there is the distance from the center and the height adjustment and
size and comfort of the actual seat and mounting and dismounting ease and
space.We are each built uniquely and our physical attributes make different
demands that affect our choices and so that is why it is not really fair to
ask someone else to take the guessing out of the choice.
Now, the individual features like cleanability, smoothness of the torque and
power under throwing stress at various speeds, resistance to deterioration of
various types, space for tools, draining of excess water from throwing,
weight for stability and ease of transporting and many more features could be
rated and if you added up the features that best suit you perhaps an
individualized tally could be calculated but I WOULD NOT PRESUME the
weighting of individual features would be the same across the board for each
of us.I am sure I have neglected some features important to many here also.
