Although the published text of my paper is indeed paywalled (I'm sorry to say), for those interested there is a nearly identical preprint text here: https://www.researchgate.net/publicatio ... _vibration

Very interesting.

Re: GPX devices...Garmin alternative
How do the the non-Garmin devices suggested upthread stack up to that spec?Milfred Cubicle wrote: ↑28 Mar 2024, 4:55pm ...
Basically I'd like to be able to:
1. Find a nice gpx file online and save it to my phone.
2. Ping it from my phone to the device, without it asking me which of several device files it shoukd go into.
3. Ride my bike, and it gives me a little chirp and an arrow 100m before a turn.
4. 8-12h battery, ideally with the facility to charge it from a poweebank without any huge docking station.
And would you now consider a new (or recent) Garmin that did?

Re: Dynamo carbon fork mounting options
I can see two photos. The fork crown has no hole at the front and a presumably threaded hole at the rear.nomm wrote: ↑28 Mar 2024, 6:34pm ...
Please see pics of fork/mount

But they don't show enough lower down the blades or higher up to the bars to tell if there any other options.

Re: Tips for fitting tyres to WH-6800 rims?
You've found Colin's video, so you know about dropping it into the well.
Is that the general purpose VAR lever? I now have the Kool Stop rim lever and a Tyre Glider, as discussed here:

Mine's a genuine Dremel. It's cordless and I find that makes it much more convenient. Spare parts are available.Cyclothesist wrote: ↑28 Mar 2024, 11:19am ...
A dremmel sounds like a v useful tool. I'll add one to my wish list.

Similar tools are available in Aldi and Lidl special offers. I haven't tested either, but most of their tools are good.

4. I didn't know that the UN had a finger in the vehicle regulation pie, considering that we left the EU so that we don't have to be told what to do by forriners, it's interesting that we're happy to be involved with them. Mr. Konstantin Glukhenkiy is the contact, I wonder if he's amenable to submissions from lay road users.

I don't think that they are sufficiently detailed.axel_knutt wrote: ↑28 Mar 2024, 11:13am 1. I wonder whether police stats are sufficiently detailed to reveal an effect that may be small in terms of all-cause road deaths but quite large in terms of deaths related to headlamp design. I also think that any advantage of better visibility will have been consumed in the form of faster driving rather than reduced accident rate, and that that possibility won't have been researched.

Re: Over-powerful LED lights
Thanks for sharing that.
First thoughts:
1 I don't think that I knew that were maximum intensities in the regulations already. Have we discussed that?
2 It nearly falls into the trap of equating absence of evidence with evidence of absence (of effect), but then recovers with:
3 The plan for future independent research. This may be the route to improvement and I've written to Cycling UK.

Re: touring wheels upgrade
Yes, it's worth getting the physics right first. And the language, including distinguishing between mass, weight and the relevant moment for rotation. Then it's possible to be sure that everyone is talking about the same things.roubaixtuesday wrote: ↑25 Mar 2024, 7:13pm ...
I agree it's all but irrelevant for touring, but it is good to get the facts straight IMO
The size of effect may not be particularly important in particular settings. And if it isn't the physics will explain why.
Jonathan
PS: I also suspect that there are some pre-Newtonian concepts of momentum lurking in the undergrowth.

Prior to the meeting, EFRA published a damning letter to it from Lucy Manzano, head of Dover port health & public protection, which suggested Defra had misled the committee of MPs in its response in February to questions on illegal meat import checks at the port and the decision to move legal customs checks to a new inland site from April.
