Gear ratio effect on stopping/skidding

Cunningly I am almost five weeks into my weight loss plan- 71.2 kilo's according to the scales this morning, so I am trying to stop much less mass than before (82 kilo's on forum second birthday).

Eating soup is cheaper than getting a new sprocket and chain- plus Jimbilly has not let me know that the new one's have arrived, so I presume he has forgotten.

Why the weight loss? It makes me sad when people lose weight, sacrificing real food and good health. Unless you have problems with obesity, dont do it my friend! Ride your high gear, sprint from stops but eat big and watch your muscles grow!
