Rolling Resistance

[Ratliff]

The formula I have is N = W x V x T / 270 where N is the power required, W is the weight in kilograms, V is the speed in kilometers per hour, and T is the rolling resistance of the tire.

The factors are
T = 0.015 on concrete
T = 0.025 on crushed rock/asphalt
T = .05 unpaved dirt road
T = .10 dirt field

The estimate for T on wet salt at Bonneville is .04 to .05

This is an older formula but should still give useful results.

Responded to by a person who doesn't know there are multiple formulas for calculating rolling resistance.

Dan all you have to do is resist the "desire" to press the ingnore feature and after a day or so it will be very easy. and this is all you will see "This user is currently ignored."

Will it go up yet again?

I think those ignore buttons are being pressed by racers and builders.  The person they're ignoring is neither.

Personally, I expect that my own peer rank in this group should be low until I have some of my work actually running down the salt or dirt.

I have seen less than one in ten posts of the nearly 200 he has deluged us with in one week be both applicable to topic and not obsolete.  That's a lot of good posts, but it's just too many bad ones.  Right now, he's creating a massive percentage of the traffic on this site and devoting that space to (for lack of a better term) spam.

I tried to put up with it, but now I'm #18.

I'd like to know more about the motivation behind the public display of righteous indignation "I pressed the ignore button".
This is, of course, the exact opposite of ignoring him, but instead commenting on him rather than his post.
