Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

I think 24 spoke wheels should appear stationary at approx 10mph under a 50Hz strobe, per street lighting, but also at 24/25 of that speed and 23/24 of it etc, i.e. very small speed variation will kill the effect. On a PLL drive locked to a quartz crystal, the speed variation should be very small, but on a bike the speed variation through one complete cycle of the cranks is likely to be too much to get a good effect.

That also should mean I could get my trispoke to look stationary if I film at 30fps and 48mph as long as I have enough light to get the shutter speed down to about 1/500s. A plan is emerging...

you know too much about everything, mcdcct.

Maths. How TF does that work?

Could definitely use bullhorns and slightly less spock.

There is not a single thing on that worth rescuing

Anti? I fucking love that bike.

It got the wrong stuff, but still look awesomely bright.

You'll love this one then Ed.

This bike is dope.

Would only change the pedals and cranks. Always think it looks dumb to have an expenisve plastic wheel with budget cranks.

That on-one is plain bizarre, it got some expensive bits yet look very cheap.

I modelled this at Pret a Rouler.

That is all.

Ouch! My crotch hurts just from looking at this saddle.

This is obvious bollocks. If it takes 1/50s to rotate 1/24 of a revolution, the next time it will appear stationary is when it takes 1/50s to rotate 2/24, i.e. at approx 20mph. Just thought I should clear that up.

duh

erm, yeah, what an epic fail!
