If my bike was a comedian...



The Surly Trucker would be Sam Kinison.

New bike loaded, the inaugural ride is tomorrow. Took it for a quick spin around the block tonight. Melted Butter Smooth, for sure. Thanks again to all...

So... who would your bike be? CCB? 1spd? Grump? T-B? Which bike and what comedian?

crand

Format: crand( f(x), x, x1, x2, max )

Arguments: (real) f(x) Probability density function

(node) x Name of the input variable in f(x)

(real) x1 Lower limit

(real) x2 Upper limit

(real) max Maximum value of f(x) in the range x1 to x2

Returns: (real) Pseudo-random number from a custom distribution defined by f(x)

Description: Crand generates a random number that is drawn from a custom distribution. The number returned by crand is in the range x1 to x2. The likelihood of being any particular number in this range is defined by the function f(x).

Examples: crand(25-(x-5)^2,x,0,10,25) = random number from the quadratic distribution below

Two-piece Crank
A style of crankset in which the axle and right crank/chainwheel are a single part, and the left crank attaches to the axle either with a cotter or by tightening a pinch bolt that holds the crank to a splined axle. These were formerly usually found on low-quality bicycles and exercise machines of European manufacture.

Most crank sets are three-piece, there are also one-piece crank sets.

Shimano revived the two-piece design with the 2004 Dura-Ace "Hollowtech II ® " crand and bottom bracket. This system is expected to "trickle down" the Shimano line in coming years. For 2005 it is already available in Ultegra, XTR and Saint.
