    (Don't worry Uni will be over by then)

    I spoke to Luke about this a couple of days ago, but he was adamant on not being of close proximity to "a bunch of hippies". Considering we didn't end up meeting the guys from London on IoW, this could be cool. Only about 40 miles apparently.
    I'm up for that.

  • o.k maths/computer geeks, if I was doing 40mph today on 75 gi, what does that make my cadence?

  • o.k maths/computer geeks, if I was doing 40mph today on 75 gi, what does that make my cadence?

    75 gear inches * 0.0254 * pi[U][/U] = 5.985 metres development
    40 miles = 64,373.76 metres
    64,373.76 / 5.985 = 10755.85 revolutions
    10,755.85 revs / 60 minutes = 179.264 RPM

    or

    (miles * 1,609.344) / (GI * 0.0254π) / 60 = 179.272 RPM to be precise

  • nice one!! endless source of pure geekdom, now I can work out optimum cadence rate and build a bike around that?! or I could get a life

    Or you could get a geared bike. :D

  • According to the rabbit I was doing about 185rpm today, must try harder, got to hit the 200 mark. Maybe I'll try on fresh legs one day...

    or you could get a geared bike. :d

    Blasphemer!!

  • hes just gutted because he saw the route we made today....................ahhh, get that red beast sorted adam

    Done it before, many times. :)

    The red one is almost done now, just need chainring bolts which should come this week. It's got 72.7 GI fixed and 77.2 GI freewheel.

    Nope, we took a detour because we didnt think the original route had enough hills :p

    Sorry about that.

  • sick route

    Pity you and andy didn't do all of it :-P

  • F.U.C.K. M.E.

    I went to school with Hugo 1st (Farret). I think he was at my uni as well, but can't be too sure about that.

    Well, I feel quite enlivened by that. Erm, don't really know where to go after seeing that...

    See you guys tomorrow. They better have good coffee in the place in the square.

    I think you should edit your post as I wouldn't want to admit to that........

    but then again Paul Cook and Steve Jones went to my school...........

  • hahahaha that branksome video is hilarious! was down there at the weekend, staying with my folks. didn't get much riding done, but we'll defo have to give you guys a shout when were down next time, hillbilly got pretty excited by all the smooth roads & hills...heh.

  • cool, will be glad to hook up, especially I cant wait to see that great helmet you wear, where did you get it? looks like BOBA FETT off Star Wars'

  • BOBA FETT never had soo much gold bling though. Jason, when do you need to borrow my racer again?

  • oh man oh man if only i had a helment that good!! i wish i was in daft punk.

  • oh man oh man if only i had a helment that good!! i wish i was in daft punk.

    oh yeah-- daft punk, jump up stuff, great 'boards players.
    10 june im doing th B.right.on run Luke cheers.

  • Hmm, are there greater risks envolved using a geared bike? Could the gears act as a risk multiplier? Something to consider for that risk assessment :p

    I just had a thought, I'm free on June 10. Want some company on the ride? I wont be doing much after finishing dissertation (finally!). Will probably have to get the train back, but meh, it's a day out innit?

  • I want my frame back from the powder coaters, so I can stick the decals on there and build it up... Hopefully it will be sorted for the 15th...

  • I just had a thought, I'm free on June 10.

    Poster Presentation on the 12th :(.

    New cog came today, have a new freewheel waiting for the mountain bike. Be doing some sweet off road riding from the 12th onwards.

  • Yeah mines on the 5th, so a free man from then onwards!

    This frame has taken almost a year to get as far as the powder coaters, and now you want to hurry???

  • Like a doggie, once I can see the end in sight I speed up.
