New Set of Disc Wheels..

According to my calculations, he will exit the quarry 3.17 seconds faster under normal load. 17.65 seconds faster if chased by a bear.

If that bear is called @jowwy he will need a much lighter pair of wheels to escape!

Unlikely to need lighter wheels on that particular occasion. Any wheel would do.

Isn't that a song from a musical?

I was being serious though. jowwys tt times (and round wheels) mean that Boon will have to either play dead or ride on unobtainium rims to escape a serious mauling!

It is - well spotted. The story goes that a family of brothers become jealous of the youngest brother's new wheels, and so they plot to cast him out. However, whilst in the wilderness, he wins the national TT champs on a pair of cheap Chinese 60mm carbons. He then returns to lord it over them. Something like that, anyway...

Kindergarten springs to mind. Its a cycling forum, not a place of mythical bears, quarries etc.

bears aren't mythical..

Its a shame really, you guys ARE very knowledgeable but you can't be taken seriously, you do yourselves a great disservice.

I think you should be over on cyclechat. This is mythicalchat.net.

To be fair, it's difficult to stay serious once Jowwy has dive-bombed the thread in his usual polite, respecful way...

 

[Justinslow]

OK, let's say he loses 750g by doing whatever with the wheels. How much faster will he get out of the quarry? Would anyone like to guess?

Well that's easy, 750 times quicker..........obviously, duuur!




(Disclaimer, my maths may be wrong or right, what was the question again?)

I do myself a great disservice around midnight most evenings. Didn't think anyone was watching though

Jowwy wasnt in the thread when you posted about me in page 2......until then i hadnt posted anything and remained on the sidelines.

If you dont want me in the thread, then please refrain from mentioning my name, until invited to do so.

Is that like a 'vampire' thing? They cannot enter your house unless you invite them in?
