Forget that. I want the four-foot long micrometer secret!


How much energy is wasted while coasting over a thousand foot downhill
course if one (of four) wheels is one-thousandth inch out of alignment with
the other three?

Instead of expressing the loss in some esoteric unit of measurement, express
it in terms of "equivalent to pulling the racer X inches sideways".

How many builders align their wheels using a micrometer?
