I kid you not - this is a serious question (if it goes down in ST history like the "how do I make flat coke" post, so be it).
I will be using the LG P-09 in a few weeks, which, as claimed by LG / tested by eros, is worse with the air vent *plugged* when going slower than 37 km/h, and better / faster with the vent *open* when going faster than 37 km/h. Projected bike would be 5:15 - 5:20.
The obvious answer to the subject line would be "look at your bike computer. Number greater than 37? Unplug." But I think the headwinds on the return (or elsewhere) would colour that ... I might be riding far slower than a 37 km/h groundspeed into a strong headwind, which ostensibly would make the plugged option preferable based on the groundspeed that my noggin and the p-09 are experiencing. However, the airspeed / the wind hitting the helmet might be more than 37 km/h, making the open vent preferable.
So I want to selectively plug or unplug the vent at certain points. Not constantly switching - maybe a few times at obvious landmarks.
At what points would be preferred "unplugged" legs of the bike? I would guess:
-First 30 k
-descent from Hawi
Where else?
