sore knees

I forgot to say that there are several tables. You obviously only need the one that matches your wheel and tyre sizes.

Glad you are still on. I have 700x40c not on the lists I have checked the back and front, not that they would be any different to each other. Not on your list or on the website list. Googled for other sites and cant find it. It is a halfrauds bike if that is any help. They did have spare tubes for me so it cant be that uncommon the bike is only 2 months old. ?????

Found it on my headlight/computer booklet it is equivalent to a 2224 or 40-622 using windup torch and two pairs of glasses it is so small. one on my face and other one as magnifier.

Getting frustrated now!!!! Did you know when a blonde explodes you have strawberry jam all over the road/walls.

PS on this site, which numbers go where? tyre size calculator.

Auntie Helen - I could swear the trike in your picture has two at the back and one at the front, and I have the right glasses on.

It's an optical illusion as it definitely has two at the front (well, the middle, my feet are at the front!). You can just see my hands holding the steering arms which are next to the front wheels.

 

[k turner]

Now that makes sense if the photo is from the back, I assumed it was from the front.

 

[Auntie Helen]

...so I have a huge mane of blonde hair covering my face?

Well it might be an idea, I suppose, but would make it a bit tricky seeing where I was going!

Here's the pic in more usual size.

 

[k turner]

Much better. I thought the black blob on your hair was your face in a motorbike style helmet, sorry for that, but as I said earlier I have two pairs of glasses one on my face and the other as a magnifier with a wind up torch. I am only 46 and still allowed to drive a car, they are big enough to see and the pony sees anything I cant when we are out (without glasses for safety reasons.)

Anyway now I know there are two blondes on here and I am sure the fellas love the bigger pic too.

I think the sit up trikes have two at the back which probably confused me, but my daughters indoor recumbant is wider at the back than front come to think of it.

Is the black blob a headrest, I would get awful neck ache if it isnt.

Change D7 to 28 and use the 2nd to last table. That'll be as near as dammit. You might want to just change the 700x32 to 700x40 as well just for your own reference.

Note to self to add a tyre chart on the spreadsheet

 

[k turner]

Thanks Crackle glad you are back I was beginning to melt with all the stress and hot flushes. I have a few minutes of reading time left before I fall over so will have a play quickly.

 

[k turner]

Still need to count teeth as you have nine in the line and I only have seven on the right handle. ?

64 on small ring on 3rd back ring gives me 47 candence at 9 miles per hour and,
84 on middle ring on 3rd back ring gives me 36 candence

is this right? if I use the blue number it goes over 200 ?

been up since 4am so need some sleep now, tomorrows another day, cant be doing with this anymore tonight.

sleep well.

 

[Crackle]

What have you put in for the cogs rear and front or have you just left them at the default?

The blue number under the front chainring size is for putting in your cadence. The spreadsheet then displays the speed underneath the gear inches for the cadence you've put in. The actual cadence calculator is at the bottom.

42 => front chainring size
80 => your proposed cadence rate for that gear

So

....12
42 98
80 23

So that is saying for a gear of 42x12 (98 inches), pedalling at 80rpm, you will travel at 23mph.

Doesn't sound like you've quite got it set up right.

 

[k turner]

Left them at the default. I thought the tyre size alleviated the teeth counting. Sorry will go and check bike with torch and hope numbers are written on or count and try again.

Is the black blob a headrest, I would get awful neck ache if it isnt.

Yes it is a headrest but I don't actually use it that much - mainly when zooming downhill to create a more streamlined shape or when sitting stationary at traffic lights. I find it's a bit too bouncy to lean my head against it whilst actually travelling alone the rather bumpy roads round here.

 

[k turner]

Sorry folks, my internet chucked me off for a while. Cant see the numbers on the cogs as there is plastic and metal in the way. I will try and source a chart to give it to me based on the gear mechanism type. Will not be able to count them either unless I use nailpolish and spin the chain.

Auntie Helen, I found the car headrest useless as well, too bouncy. Well night night for now all. Even my internet is trying to tell me it is overheating.
