I will pursue this but it will be this coming Tuesday before I will be able to get to my Madone.
I verified the numbers with the Treck Hybrid today and they were correct within reasonable tolerance.
I am still puzzled that there is no hard data. Does not sound so outlandish to me.
There is much discussion of the inefficient shocks on Hybrids. What better way to measure than this way?
How about a comparative test of CF to Steel to Aluminum to Titanium frame bikes?
How about weight loss compared to rigidity of frame?
The conversion of the force of our legs into accelerating us and the bike in a measured time.
Sounds to me as if we should know that.
