What's the "virtual" CdA and Crr of the LeMond Revolution?

Is this thread available in English?

Sure…quick translation…I wanted to quantify just how close the Revolution “mimics” riding outside and this thread is showing how I’m doing that. So far, the “load curve” of the Revolution appears to match VERY well the “typical” aero drag and rolling resistance of riding your road bike outside on perfectly level ground. I was able to determine this using the same method one would use to field test to determine aero drag and rolling resistance outside using a power meter.

The last piece of the puzzle is determining how well the flywheel “mimics” the inertial mass of a rider+bike traveling down the road at the same indicated speed. I tried doing that using Robert’s VE technique and the coefficients measured above. That’s what Robert and I are going back and forth about…

Up to speed? :wink:
