So if your definition of gear is roll out in
mm then it looks close. Do not forget to
include the tyre.
Right, perhaps I should change "gear" into
"roll out" if that's the agreed-upon term.
Perhaps I should even make it print the
formulae first thing.
And I'll include the tyre. Excellent
There's always a slight error this way. The radius of a tire and hence it's circumference changes slightly with pressure and/or weight of the rider.
The ancient and traditional method from race-rules gear
limits to computer input is a rollout.
Ride over a spot of paint and measure between marks. In
theory it's 2R*3.14159. In practice it is not. As you note,
rider weight, inflation etc have some bearing on this
