Where does the radio go though? What kind of cheesy assed bike doesn't have a radio mount?

Wednesday is beef patty and coco bread day. Patty King for lunch... well at least a patty with bread and a coke for 2bucks.
I have a store credit for a clothing store in Kensington so I'll pop in there and have a peek.

oh yes, that's the one you mentioned last night; i'm afraid if you ride it you might break the sound barrier. first ever fixed gear sonic boom...

Uhmm you kept up just fine remember I was that tiny white light way off on the west side of the X whilst you were at the east gates

i dunno, all i saw was red blinking lights in front of me. if i want to keep up maybe i should use a higher gear and drink less beer....hey that rhymes...but it's not going to happen, at least the beer part.

what kinda cadence/gearing you guys rippin' with?

42x16 when I get above35kI start losing my spin and thump the peddles my twin brother that sits on my belly button get's in the way:lol: Edit ,, nice pic on NASA site http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap060612.html

i'm a 42x16 man (18 on the other side of the hub) as well (around 71 gear inches on 700c wheels). wouldn't want anything higher for the 100km+ rides. some of the long climbs up the oak ridges moraine would not go so well in higher gears...

cadence? on a 42/16 you must be pumpin pretty fast to get 35....
How bout' you Illmitch, I hear you're a rocket....you running a 46-16?

No fair racing around if not all runnin' the same gearing. :lol:
A few teeth can make a world of difference.

i don't know about steeker, but i'm comfortable cruising close to 30km/hr at about 90-100rpm.

here's something that may help figure out cadence. it's in imperial measurements but easy enough to convert.

any techies here want to take a stab at changing the program to read speed in metric?

I remember hittin 50k on my ss sprinting in traffic.... I couldn't have been runnin a 42, doesn't seem possible. Must have been a 46, had a bmx freewheel on it. I did/do try to spin fast though.

I chased down and passed Operater one night and my computerwas showing 48k then my back started to twinge THAT"S when I heard this WHOOSSHHHHH comming behind me and Dark mother flew by like a bird

were his feet blurring? Dark's runnin' a higher gear for sure, he could sleep spinnin' a 42.

Sweet grab one for me.double or triple?
Very nice

his legs looked blurry but that was most likely my eye's as I was fighting not to puke all over myself and was braking hard then32Flav shot by and asked how my back was as she shot by:lol: Edit I go fast for very short sprint

48-18 for 71gear inch lot's of get up & go but spin out easy, however great on hills! Looking at geting a 17t cog for around 75 gear inch happy medium.
Cheers

I can hold up to 40kph. Then it gets iffy. Short interval up to 52 but that's my hard limit. That page is getting h4x0red in a minute.

New and improved cadence calculator it is: http://ca.geocities.com/socheung@rogers.com/ftw.htm

42x15 FTW! I still spin like a weaver trying to keep up with some of you guys.

Thats like 2.8:1 ratio.

Some of you's are running well over 3:1
i don't know how you guys can even start from a stop.

These gear inches.. they don't make any sense to me.

42x16 is like 2.65:1 ratio. Nice and easy.

A 17tooth cog is going to be hard to find unless you buy nice nice things. eg... EA import, Phils, Surly.

Durace don't make a 17 :(

DarkMother and Cavernmech could turn this gear with no problems

Booyaka-sha!

F*ing ridiculous.

"where ya going on that bike guy?"

"Into hyperspace"

This is the Recumbant I was talking about on the CV ride last night http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne...7152895&size=o

Turn of the century pursuit badass. ^^^RE:bent^^^ where's the cup holder....? Bents kinda scare me with the lowness of them, but they do go damned fast. Climbs?
Patty King.....AWAY!!!!

that one is super fast and I am told by bent riders that low ones are easy on hills once you get your bent legs,, you never come out on rides and that makes me the oldest one there:(

basically gear inches means one revolution of the pedals will proper the bike X inches. The charts are not exact but gets you in the ballpark. Tire size does affect this.

Don't put me in the fast group....I am old and slow ;)

Thats a bad ass recumbant Steeker.. FRONT WHEEL DRIVE! mad sexy with disc brakes and rear suspension!
I don't really understand why they have the feet so high up.. it's like you're looking at your feet and not the road. Weird.
