Think of it this way...say a 6" wheel and an 8" wheel are traveling at the same RPM's. The circumference around the 8" is more inches than the circumference around the 6". That means that the surface of the 8" has to travel _more_inches _in_the_same_time_period_ than the surface of the 6", which equates to more feet per minute, or inches per second, or miles per hour even.
I figger when a piece grabs on the wheel and leaves my hand (which happens a lot less frequently nowadays), it's traveling at about 80 mph.
