Thanks nvn, that actually makes sense to me! I also appreciate the DickLs comments but they weren't what I was looking for. As for mech eng, I know I got the 1400N experimentally mainly for calculating the stress in the crank but had been using it to get the acceleration. I think...

so what equation do I use if I want to relate the mass of the rider into the rotational acceleration of the back wheel? basically the moment of inertia for my back wheel is 0.1965KgM^2 and my torque is 100Nm but can I just add the moment of inertia for the crank and the front wheel, assume the...

I am designing a bicycle (theoretically), and i have my max torque on the crank 245Nm (Ignor this unless you think iv made a mathematical mistake) (1400N*.175m), which provides a torque on the drive cog, (245Nm/0.085m)= 2882N which is the tension in the chain, multiplied by the raduis of...
