I can't believe it. For all your dismissing physics vs. engineering, you haven't the least understanding of how bicycle gears work.

If you are going to mock pseudo science you have to know something about science. Since you've felt free to recommend topics for study, let me suggest that you get a basic physics book and read the sections about mechanical advantage.

Oh! How perfect! Relying on the old standby of deliberately misrepresenting what someone else has posted. Unless you truly, just plain didn't understand it. I guess I can't rule that out. My take is that with "It has electrolytes" you declare yourself as a denizen in the land of Idiocracy.
