Hi,
Just got a Sigma computer for my excellent new folding bike. Am trying
to set the computer up so that it's accurate with the small wheels,
but there's no corresponding value to put into the computer for my 20
x 1.5 (40-406) wheels in the manual.
I've tried the other 2 ways of working out the value. One is to
multiply the diameter of the wheel in mm by 3.14; t'other is to
measure the distance of one full revolution of the wheel. I've tried
both of these, but the values I've got out aren't anywhere near alike.
They're both near 1500, but not close enough for me to be convinced
that it'll be anything remotely accurate.
Just wondered whether there's any of you out there with mathematical
leaning who might be able to work out what the correct value should
be. As I say, the tyres say 20 x 1.5 (40-406).
Thanks for any assistance,
Oaf
