Hallandsloppet, påminnelse.
by Pär Borgström 08 May '07

08 May '07

Hej bröder och systrar! Tänkte bara påminna om att det nu är dags att anmäla sig till årets Hallandslopp den 4 maj. Det kostar 120 kr att cykla 36 km och 200 kr att cykla 100 km. Barn under 12 år i målsmans sällskap betalar halv avgift. Är du intresserad av att cykla i grupp med några glada liggister kan du anmäla ditt intresse till mig senast onsdag 13 mars så tar vi detaljerna sedan. Vill du kolla mer och kanske anmäla dig själv direkt så går du in på www.hallandsloppet.com. Ta dig i kragen nu. Det är inte alltid soligt, men ootrooligt jätteroligt. Hör av dig, cyklist! :-D /Borgis

Mountaindrive
by Bernt Carlberg 29 Oct '02

29 Oct '02

När vi ändå håller på att diskutera tekniska hjälpmedel till cyklar undrar jag om det är någon som har någon erfarenhet av Schlumpf mountaindrive? http://www.schlumpf.ch/language.html Är det bara ett dyrare sätt att få samma sak som med två kedjedrev fram? Tyvärr saknar ju min Hurricane fäste för främre växelförare så jag får ändå köpa nytt frontrör mm. för att fördubbla antalet växlar. Så prisskillnaden för min del kanske inte blir så stor i slutändan. H.d.s.l. Bernt Gratis e-mail resten av livet på: www.yahoo.se/mail Busenkelt!

trasig fälg + bygget
by Göran Thyberg 29 Oct '02

29 Oct '02

Hej visserligen ingen liggcykelfråga men ändå. En fälg med skada enligt nedan: http://medlem.spray.se/tuben7/galleries/021026/ Vad kan orsaka en sådan skada tror ni? Har jag kört på något som slagit sönder den eller är det ett utmattningsproblem? Den har gått ~400mil vara hälften på en trainer. Det är fråga om drivsidan på ett bakhjul med 32 oreducerade ekrar. Fälgen är specificerad som "Custom made for Bianchi by FIR". Mitt långsamma lowracerbygge går för övrigt framåt steg för steg. Nu har jag kommit fram till ett fungerande rullande chassi med sits och styrning klart. Håller på med drivlinan och vet inte hur jag ska få undan kedjan så den inte är i vägen för låren när jag trampar. http://medlem.spray.se/tuben7/cykel/lowracerbygge/index.htm Mvh göran -- Göran Thyberg, LM/ERA/RJZ/IT, epkgant, +46 13 287350 __o __o __o __o /\_ _ \\o (_)\__/o (_) _`\<, _`\<, _`\<, _`\<, _>(_) (_)/<_ \_| \ _|/' \/ (_)/(_) (_)/(_) (_)/(_) (_)/(_) (_) (_) (_) (_)' _\o_

RE: [hpvs] pedalling technique

As always I cannot resist these technical discussions. Please forgive me... Richard Wizins wrote: > Maybe you are right Frederik, maybe not.

There is so much money in pro cycling that it would be unlikely that the pro teams haven't already done what's within the reach of scientific investigation to promote the highest possible efficiency. This, of couse, dosen't exclude new scientific discoveries... > B. We have the issue of aerobic limitations.

The idea of Powercranks is to avoid spending some energy counteracting youself, i.e. pushing 'backwards' with one leg and 'forwards' with the other. Some energy would undeniably be saved if this can be avoided. It might be very little, though, maybe too little to bother. And maybe the action of actively lifting one leg instead of just letting it be lifted causes involvement of additional muscles, resulting in a nil gain or a loss. The human body is mechanically quite complicated (sic) and activating one muscle here generally requires another muscle there to be counteracting, to avoid the having body severely twisted... > Bikedrive on the other hand does address the problem of > erratic power.

Well, storing energy as spring tension or as momentum would make no difference, would it? Only the momentum storage is more light-weight, and has no termal losses... BTW, the energy provided by each pedal stroke is small compared to the moving energy of the bike with rider, I think. I the energy of the moving bike was plotted, the pulsing caused by pedalling would be a tiny riddle on top of a comparatively steady line. > - My first impression of the Powercranks was a bit flawed.

Re: pedalling technique

Hey all, I think that things have been discussed 'sufficiently' and it is now time to wait for Dick to try and test Bikedrive. So what follows is just some ideas and stuff I thought about when I followed the past discussion... that might be interesting for you. -Some guy named Harrison measured already in 1970 that the rowing motion can give higher power than pedalling when the exercise lasts longer than 30 seconds, as in, not in sprints. This is when inertia of the rowing movement is maintained with a flywheel (in a test laboratory) but a bike at speed also has quite some inertia,... The explanation that for the fact that no HPV rowing records exist (well, actually, Derk Thijs had some records, for some time at least) is that the motion takes more space and so ultimately, aerodynamics suffer more. Ah yeah, also the power was greater with the butt fixed and the legs moving, instead of the whole body moving. It is quite obvious that THAT causes a lot of lost acceleration forces... -I actually once road an alternative drive that really worked. It was on an upright bike invented by a Belgian... inventor ;-) Anyway, he used a connecting rod system attached to the cranks that lengthened the crank length in the push position and drastically shortened it in the back stroke, so no need for clipless. Not only this, he also succeeded in having the time spent in the back stroke reduced and the time in the front stroke enlargened. As a result, it was a piece of cake to pedal HUGE gears, like 65-11 on 26 at a speed of 30 km/h was comfy. It really worked; yet sadly, his work is hardly acknowledged by anyone. Well, the construction is quite elaborate and cannot be implemented on a recumbent since the whole rod system would then point downward. Well, not in the form it was when I saw it anyway. Still to bad no one picks it up in the upright world. -If Bikedrive lessens peak force with 20%, it is because the resistance is 20% lower. Or because the local speed is about 20% higher (right?). OK, then you spend 20% more time in the dead points, transferring stored energy and inertia into the drive system. My question is, why not learn to pedal 20% faster and skip the dead points +40% faster? That is the whole trick of the 500W of professional record power, it is done at 110rpm. The change of inertia in the legs with a bikedrive system, +20% to -20%, 220 times per minute, must be quiet interesting at those rpm... and so the story goes on... forever ?? ;-) Just test it :-) Regards, Frederik _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963
