Coast downs, Part 2
Posted: Sat Jul 26, 2008 7:52 am
Sorry for the double post but I had posted this as a reply to my original thread below and it seemed like maybe nobody noticed. I just wanted some feedback
Ok,
I got another coastdown and ride this weekend. On a local MUP so a bit more sheltered and controlled.
I did a tilt calc and wind offset immediately prior to the ride. I got 7 coastdowns and then my 4 mile ride.
I got the following numbers
Aero 0.362
Fric 5.958
Cda .380
Crr .0040
Seem better?
On my original CD's I got the values of
Cda .3774
Crr .00292

Im just really getting curious if I have reasonable numbers. I have had this device probably 2 months now and still don't have confidence in it.
