Be practical. Its the cyclist who gets killed or injured regardless ofwho you consider to be at faultwhat they’re wearing. Shouldn’ttheythe people not paying attention at least try to reduce the risk?
“Pictures of your cake”
“Pictures of your cake” definitely deserves its own thread.
We’re all infuenced by things that broke in the past – so we go out with tools and spares to fix the last fault, not the next oneI once had a crank arm shear off mid-ride, but I’ve never gone as far as carrying a spare one.
So ‘flats’ don’t actually
So ‘flats’ don’t actually exist then? Given that nothing is ever exactly 0%.
…plenty of hills and usually as much downhill as uphill…That made me smile. If you start and finish your ride from home then there will be exactly the same amount od downhill as uphill (unless your house is built on a glacier or some other form of landslide).
Depends what you class as ‘uphill’ and ‘downhill’. You could have many miles of ‘false flat’, followed by a quick ‘downhill’ to get back to the starting point.
Also depends on how you measure how much of it there is – are you going by ascent/descent, by distance, or by time?

But on the figures given, the measured altitude was 20m down at the start and 50m down at the end, so it’s drifted down 30m compared to the map altitude, so they ought to be adding 30m on, not subtracting it.
What I meant by the variation being in the middle of the ride is that you could have 20m variance at the beginning, and 20m variance at the end, but 50m variance in the middle. On jaysa’s reckoning, you don’t need to apply any correction. But imagine that your ride is uphill to the middle point, and then downhill to the finish. In that case, you’ve lost 30m of your climb. Conversely, if it’s downhill to the middle, and then uphill to the finish, it will have measured you descending 30m more than you did, and then climbing an extra 30m in the second half.
Er, I think your maths is off
Er, I think your maths is off, so maybe it’s not quite as foolproof as you suggested? In any case, what if the variation is in the middle of the ride?
if I have a 175 crank, and place a 2.5mm shim under my cleat, then while the crank is higher/lower, my foot is surely in the same place as a 172.5 crank, no?Only at the bottom of the pedalstroke. At the top it’s 5mm higher – 2.5mm extra crank length plus 2.5mm shim.

what do you mean by misuse of chains though ? other than cross gearing and its arguable how bad that is, what else can you do to chain to misuse it ?

I once did the comedy slo-mo fall because of this (screw hadn’t fallen out entirely but was no longer holding the cleat in place) – stopped to check out what was happening and only realised too late that I couldn’t unclip it.

Excellent and inventive range, local ingredients, garden outside for the sunny days, with plenty of room for bikes – only drawback is the slices of cake are hyooooge, and could make riding home after more of a challenge.
