    66/67 deg with a 12" travel fork do you think so?

    Hmmm...

    About 20 deg :lol:

    Seriously, I'd guess at 59-61 deg.

    Who's closest?

    Front wheel is a bit lower than the back in the pic so creates an illusion.

    63.7 degrees.

    If we round to 2 SF, I was bang on.

    Woo.

    I'm a physicist dammit! I haven't used degrees for ages!
  • nicklousenicklouse Posts: 50,675 Lives Here
    and Engineers use Degrees.

    We make things you just think about them.

    Actually, I tell a lie. There's a wave equation which is used by chemists which uses degrees. It also uses fecking decimetres. At least engineers stick to SI units...
  • nicklousenicklouse Posts: 50,675 Lives Here
    I love standards.

    I hate the feekers who keep changing them or think we need new standards to replace the old standards.

    i am a right mix now. over a foot and it is imperial. less than a foot and it is metric but then it turns back to thousands of an Inch for the small stuff.

    And i'm from the era that doesn't know what the difference is between metric and imperial :D

    It's not a proper unit unless it can be fully expressed as a power of 10!
  • supersonicsupersonic Posts: 82,708 Lives Here
    Can you imagine a mint metric? Yuk.

    Metres = 1
    km = 1x10^3
    mm = 1x10^-3

    It's so simple!
  • Chaz.HardingChaz.Harding Posts: 3,144
    :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

    +1 for mint metrics.

    :lol:

    Although imperial does have it's uses (steam engines, old Massey Furgerson tractors etc).

    Also, people who are coincidentally from the Jurassic era use imperial measurements, right Nicklouse?

    :wink::lol:

    PS, please don't kick me off bikeradar!! :oops:

    Haha. You can't be that massive as to cause injury to me. I have 'fights' with one of my 21stone friends. (Needless to say, he's NOT a biker, haha)

    You can't weigh more than 21 stone!! Besides, you'd have to catch me first! :wink:

    And I was only joking!! I still use inches (albeit in thousand'ths) at work using vernier calipers. Yes, I am only 20, and I use inches.

    And yes, my argument is now void... :oops:
