You may need to add a couple ZEROS to that number! :cool: It's gotta be waaaaaay more than 1,000 revs. I think I probably even do way more than that in a single 6 mile ride! But I may be wrong.

During my almost daily 1.5 hour muni ride today, i got to wondering: How many total revolutions I've been averaging in say, each month. Figure 35 miles per week on a 24" muni. Any math wizzes out ther care to gander a guess? How many do you think YOU do each month?

A 24" MUni might have an outside tire diameter of 580mm or so. Each pedal revolution then is 1.8 meters; each kilometer is 555 pedal revolutions. Hand-waving.

Wow! I was really close with my guess of 100,000 in a month! No wonder it's such a great, efficient way to exercise! So, more than 1 MILLION per year! That'll burn some serious calories!

Not a very exact number though because there's a lot of sliding, skidding, and "wheeling out" on dirt. But generally yeah, definitely way over a million revs a year.
These numbers really show the diff a coker makes, for each revolution a coker goes 3 more feet than a 24". 841x3=2523 ft, which is almost half a mile more with the same number of revs...Man I want a coker...

I have a coker; a nice one, but I ride almost exclusively muni now. Cokering is alright for the beach bike path, but other than that, I hardly use it anymore because when I compare it to muni, it's just rather boring.

Yeah but the labled wheel size is different from the actual size of the tire, a 24" slick tire is way different than a muni tire, which is closer to 26".

so this means a moutain coker is a 38"er cool

Would getting my nipples greasy be better when I twist them tight? or> should I leave them like they are?

Not really. Most tire sizes are rated not by the size of the rim, but by an approximation of the outside diameter of the tire when it's installed. A 24" rim is 520mm in diameter, which is 20.5 inches; a typical tire diameter will be around 24", but a Gazzaloddi is closer to 26".
The outside diameter of the Big Apple 29er is about 29"; a Coker tire outside diameter is about 36".
