Tyres on the wrong way for over two years

[Profpointy]

As usual, the local PfarkingHD gets it wrong:

surface chemistry
noun

1. the branch of chemistry concerned with the processes occurring at interfaces between phases, especially that between liquid and gas.

Anyone here change phase in tyre compound when riding?

Every village has an idiot.

Umm, you have solid (tyre, road) and liquid (water). Different phases no?

NO.

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

NO.

Nitrous Oxide?

 

[Profpointy]

NO.

solid, liquid and gas are 3 different phases.

 

[Yellow Saddle]

solid, liquid and gas are 3 different phases.

And?

.

 

[S-Express]

Nitrous Oxide?

N2O

 

[Profpointy]

And?

Well you said it can't be surface chemistry as there aren't two phases,when manifesrly there are.

Quite apart from that point even my limited gentleman amateur level of science knows there are some fairly strange chemistry type effects going on in real world friction yet you dismiss this based on presumably half-remembered a-levels or whatever and justify it with jargon. I suspect racing roadkill is not making it up and does actually know a bit about this.

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

N2O

Dinitrous Monoxide then. I don't really care.

There is no chemical reaction. What causes friction is a phenomena in physical chemistry. It is a polar attraction between the molecules of the two substances and NOT a chemical REACTION. I think I have already explained - Van der Waal's force.

I know that, you know that...

ETA: The chemistry bit I mean. I don't think in fact it's all entirely explained by VdW forces.

What do you mean by "Real world friction" and where did I say there aren't two phases?

 

[S-Express]

Dinitrous Monoxide then. I don't really care.

Nitrogen Oxide is the one you're looking for...

12 f***ing pages.

The OP only noticed his tyres were on the wrong way.

F**k me.

[winjim]

Nitrogen Oxide is the one you're looking for...

Nitric oxide

 

[S-Express]

Nitric oxide

AKA nitrogen oxide.

 

[winjim]

AKA nitrogen oxide.

Not really. Nitrogen monoxide maybe.
