Skid patches widget

A friend of mine has programmed a widget that will calculate the number of skid patches for a given cog/chainring combination:
You can download it here
If you like it, give him some feedback.

Actually you can select if you want the output in meters or inches. But it does NOT calculated the gear inches, but how many meters/inches you will move forward with one rotation of your crank.

The proper term for that is meters of development, which is a common european measurement.
And thanks, onetwentyeight.

oh and 12XU all they would need to do is ad an input field for how often you skid (with options for if you do it switch) multiplied by the type of ground you skid on all cross-referenced with an invetory of all types of tires and their current selling prices (plus shipping and handling if you need to mail order)
