>>1820883>you want to reduce as much weight as you canIt's me again (
>>1820900) and I want to revisit this idea in a technical perspective. First, let's observe that a bicycle is a mechanical contraption which converts rotational energy into directional movement. However, let's also observe that a bicycle crank's axis of rotation is similar to a fulcrum found in a see saw. With the power stroke generally 0-180 degrees of the crank rotation perpendicular to the direction of Earth's gravity, this also makes it a gravitaxis vehicle. Now, with more mass comes more joules of energy which could be applied into higher potential torque at the wheels. There is a mass advantage thanks to gravity found in bikes most people don't realize... however, is it enough to counteract the forces of road and wind resistance?
