    Question Are the so called "power" meters measuring also the pull not just the push in the pedals?

    I am seeking for confirmation that both pedals' readings are taken into account in any moment for the energy rate (power) calculation. Reason: if only one of them is considered then the calculated energy rate (power) is not accurate. PS I don't know why I get the definition of power each time...

    Multi-Tool Calculators for Cyclists – Helpful Picks?

    I created a transmission bicycle calculator, if that can be of any use for you. Also a car cost per km calculator that can help you in planing trips with your car for a riding event or contest. I don't know if I am allowed to put links to them here. I quit cycling before doing them so, I did...

    Question Are the so called "power" meters measuring also the pull not just the push in the pedals?

    Hi. Riding my road bike today on a 9% climb from my saddle helped me come up with this question. It would make sense for the "power" meters (which are force meters and power calculators in fact) to measure both podals in the same time, the force being a sum of push AND pull, I mean that is why...

    When will POWER/MASS be replaced by FORCE/MASS or ACCELERATION in professional cycling?

    @Krzysztof_O force/mass you compare as raw values. That is how I saw it is done now with power/mass, even by the famous by now, moe. His comments inspired me to ask this question here. The force is the ponderate(weighted) average by time (in the time period) of: the force with which the...

    When will POWER/MASS be replaced by FORCE/MASS or ACCELERATION in professional cycling?

    @JayKosta My question is targetting mostly the pro area. Most people don't understand power and they use improperly watts for all the measurements that contain W like WH ( 1 KWH =3.6 MJ which is the unit measure for energy). It took me several years (taking into account that my studies are in...

    When will POWER/MASS be replaced by FORCE/MASS or ACCELERATION in professional cycling?

    Needless to say that the torque or force graph on (for example) 50-150 crank rpm range for a profesional cyclist is not constant, so saying that power is directly proportional with force because of its formula Power=Force*Speed is nonsence.

    When will POWER/MASS be replaced by FORCE/MASS or ACCELERATION in professional cycling?

    We talk about different accelerations here. Resulting force that acts on the cyclist-bike (as material body) = propelling force(that I talked about) - resistive force( air friction + gravity + etc). This Resulting force divided by mass is the acceleration you talk about. The acceleration I...

    When will POWER/MASS be replaced by FORCE/MASS or ACCELERATION in professional cycling?

    After some years of observations, research and calculations in the cycling and rally fields, I realised that because power is synonymous with force outside of physics terminology, it gained popularity after Jes Watt defined the power as "the ability to act" with the formula Power = Force *...

    Question Electric Conversion Mountain Bike

    Hi. Any electric kit with the engine as wheel hub needs a counter torque point with your fork/frame. Cheapest way made the manufacturers embed this into the engine/hub axle by making it ticker and not round. Be sure you check this before you buy something (related would be the issue that some...

    reply to ALL I've taken notes about what all of you wrote to me, and I thank you for that.of course writing is easy but making something is harder.I'll start on making some money, making some publicity (that is a secret that I hope will surprise many people especialy from Romania but also from...
