Zordon Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 I found an interesting article yesterday:http://science.howstuffworks.com/missing-gravity.htmI also read somewhere that in that area a human normally weighing 70kgs would actually weigh 3kgs less. Translating it to trials, a 10kg bike would weigh about 9,6kg. Off course, human muscles "get used" to lower gravity over time but a short trip to there would produce some nice experiences.Imagine Tra doing stuff there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 I can imagine Adam@Tartybikes going there to weigh his Monty after it turns out he can't get it any lighter using conventional methods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paolo Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 Anyone know what part of the bay has the lower gravity, because the northern part is frozen year long and would require mineral oil in magura brakes and probably studs on tires not to mention the clothing needed to keep you warm.
