Snapped spindle

[silva]

Nay lad, you only mentioned credit cards. I mentioned the ISO standard that covers such cards and you now claim you meant something else. Both posts are there, read what you actually said.

You wish to add to what you said, do so. But I'll tell you again to do your homework before replying.

I said this:

And, Mister roubaixtuesday
...
The Big Drawback of that Safety Plus: 20 grammes, or make it 40, 80, ... 1 second more per mile, due to the presence of about half an apple in your pocket.
Fine to win a fitness race by cheating, but to commute, shop, well, 20 grammes is the weight of a credit card. Some people have 10 of those in their wallet. At the cashier they then spent 5 minutes search and try to, alike the HollowTech2 chainline story, stuff together the ticket price.
The next customer then pays cash and passes in 20 grammes err I mean seconds.

Btw, how many credit cards do you have?

No, I talked about a 20 g credit card:

You talk about "usual plastic cards".

I compared the Hollow Technology of the race cheating of the Weight Religion to a 20 grammes credit card.
Then you came in, talking about 5 grammes plastic credit cards, ISO standard and homework.
A 20 grammes credit card is a 20 grammes credit card.
Why do you talk about a 5 grammes one?
Do you have any point at all with it, other than attempting to squander the discussion?
To remind you:
The point of the discussion was the weight "penalty" of a 50% thicker (to the inside) shaft wall, compared to the safety "reward" of a 29% better resistence to torsion breaking.
That penalty, as calculated (see link to a sites dedicated calculator) in the last, was 20 grammes, being a credit card weight. One can instead of HollowTech2 leave his creditcard home to win the race with the same effort, and bonus, 29% less prone to snapping underway.

It's threads like this that make you appreciate what a fun place the internet can be.

Precisely.
Fun galore!

A 20 grammes credit card is a 20 grammes credit card.

Well, if you are going to have a credit card made out of a depleted uranium square taper spindle. What do you expect?

I said this:
"20 grammes is the weight of a credit card."

To which I asked

@silva, are you talking about credit/debit cards that are covered by the ISO/IEC 7810 ID-1 standard?
It dictates the size of the card, and materials, which means it also indirectly dictates their weight. Which for most is 5 grams, metal cards may be slightly heavier.

This standard also applies to ID cards, plastic driving licences and train/bus cards.

And your answer being

No, I talked about a 20 g credit card:

You talk about "usual plastic cards".

In which you added something never mentioned previously, having possibly realised your mistake.

I mentioned the 5g credit/debit cards because that is the industry standard, covered by the
ISO/IEC 7810 ID-1 standard.

It dictates the size of the card, and weight of credit/debit cards and a multitude of others.

Squander
waste (something, especially money or time) in a reckless and foolish manner.
You're a lot closer to doing that than I am.

Nay lad, Yorkshur furstn'formost. Shaking mi head slowly now.

Nay – meaning no.

Now here's a thought. Hear me out.

How about using a chisel as a spindle?

A banana will work !

How about using a chisel as a spindle?

And the hammer as the crank and pedal.

It's not because something is not plastic that it is depleted uranium, even a blackwhite television has shades of grey.
And why depleted - radiation can also fix something Bad back to Good.

I compared those 20 grammes HollowTech2 weight-cheating in racing (the Hollow Religion) "benefit" with the weight of a credit card.
You then talked about 5 grammes credit cards, after which I proved (internet link) you that 20 grammes (and more) weighting credit cards are commonly available.

Your "Industrial Standard", "Dictates", lol?
Are you Claiming that > 5 grammes weighting credit cards are Illegal?

I think you went too far into yourself here.
But that's your problem, not mine, right?

 

[roubaixtuesday]

And why depleted - radiation can also fix something Bad back to Good.

Both naturally occurring isotopes of uranium are radioactive.

"Depleted" uranium is essentially pure u238, with a half life of 4.5 biĺlion years
Natural uranium also contains a trace of U235, about 0.7%, which has a half life of about 700 million years.

There won't be much difference in radioactivity between them, given this, I expect.

The good news for you is that the critical mass of even u235 is 52kg requiring a 17cm diameter sphere.

So you can very safely ride a solid bicycle spindle of any uranium isotope without risk of triggering a nuclear explosion.

In fact, even a plutonium spindle would be ok.

 

[Drago]

How much did his hammer and chisel weigh?

None of Hollowduck’s credit cards weigh 20g. I guess this is why Hollowduck is always away from the lights first, not being weighed down . Solidduck is meanwhile still stuck at the lights, quacking on about lightweight “cheating” ways..
