I am not the first to do this, but I thought it would be educational for some to see how to measure the rpm using a simple bicycle computer. Here is a link to my web diary. measure rpm method |

Good write up imsmooth. My first anemometer was based on a bike computer. The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago, the second best time is right now. JAQ |

Thanks for this and all the other items I picked up by following the "Next" prompts. Great engineering! A mechanical disk brake like the ones on the MW monsters! Next you will be turning a variable-pitch system on your lathe! Keep it going! Taxation as a means of achieving prosperity is like a man standing inside a bucket trying to lift himself up.
