Also, when you click on the "waste exchange" link, it takes you to the City of Cape Town website... Are they trying to tell us something? Dump your used oils in Cape Town?

Off the rosefoundation website: "PLEASE NOTE: We do not collect used oil that has been polluted with solvents, cleaning fluids, or other hazardous wastes. Authorised waste management companies need to handle these disposals." So are we back to square one then?

The first Argus I did, I must have been like 11 or 12, and this guy who took us there left his shoes behind... in Springs He road the argus in his sandals...

Cool, RM, I'm with you now. I still like the idea.

Yes, but changing the chain alignment or the distance between the two chainrings is a problem...

Yes, van, I think I do understand you... see a few posts above, I posted a link to the maths of which you speak...

Isn't that going the iBike (?) approach? Thing thingy that measures wind resistance and all' date=' and is pretty much universally denounced as useless... [/quote'] Yes the i bike thingy was a good idea but (i believe and stand to be corrected) relys on the measurement of airflow, which as we can be rather iffy. What I was suggesting was not to measure airflow but to rather use the effort as recorded on a hrm and convert this to watts. Power measurement and recording is obviously more accurate by the use of strain gauges or other mechanical devices that react in relation to the "power" appllied, but they are not cheap especially when you try to fit them onto weight concious bicycles. Therefore I was wondering about a conversion factor being incorporated into a HRM software using the already vast amount of power VS heart data that has been gathered over the last few years. Granted it might not be 100% accurate (how do you know for sure your current power device is 100% correct all the time), but as long as it remains consistent, this would be cheaper than the available options of power measuring devices. Ya, you mean like taking the powercalc software here: http://www.machinehead-software.co.uk/cyclists_power_calculator.html and building it into a bike puter... dunno... it looks like it has too many variables to update "on the fly"

Cleared some space...

At $1195.00 is that your idea of low cost? Just curious

Exactly, they do different things...

Aah.... Not a problem where I work

What was the edit for? I personally liked the giant SRM pic

You need testers?

yeah, it's pretty dumb Well yeah, that's what I meant, I just didn't want to say it

That is not low cost. Focker... din't give this guy ideas... Low Cost = R599.95

Yeah!!! I used a 32 hole set of those for like ever. Never a single problem. Never even had to get them re-trued.

Dammit!
