Bike Frame Thickness Survey - Please Reply!

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the thickness of bike frames, specifically focusing on the wall thickness and outside tube diameters. One participant mentions their BMX bike frame has a wall thickness of .049 inches and weighs over 8 pounds for a 20-inch bike, indicating it is quite robust. They suggest that standard bike frames typically have a wall thickness of .035 inches or less, with cheaper mountain bikes likely being thinner. Another contributor clarifies that the relevant measurements for attaching a bike alarm are the outside tube diameters, providing specific measurements for their frame: the top tube and down tube are 1.5 inches, the seat tube is 1 inch, and the downtubes in the rear triangle are 3/4 inch.

Thick as in the metal inside a frame? On my bike, a very thick street bike (stunt/bmx whatever you want to call it), it is .049 throughout. And that is thick! The frame weighs more than 8lbs (for a 20in bike) I would say your standard bike is .035 or less throughout, probably less for a cheap mountain bike.
 
He's attaching an alarm to one of the tubes of your frame, Matt. He doesn't care what the wall thicknesses are. He needs to know what the outside tube diameters are.
 
lol, ok that's what I thought originally, but I thought that information was easy to get.
My frame:
top tube and down tube are 1.5"
seat tube is 1"
downtubes (rear triangle) 3/4"
 

Thread 'Is AI hype?'

In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...

Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'

I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
