I've heard about this quite a bit ago but after chatting with a few people over the weekend, I noticed not that many people had heard of this interesting little widget for your Mac...
Skid Patch Calculator
Developers Description: Some chainring/cog combinations would cause the same patch/es of the tire to be worn every time you skid. Thus, your tire would be worn down to the canvas at the skid point long before the rest of it. This widget will help you to determine a combination that leads to a more even wear.
I installed it but ended up removing it because I didn't use it much.. Anyone else been using it?

this is retarded, do it in your head... take the chain ring and put it over the rear cog, then take that fraction and find the lowest common denominator (lcd), the lcd is the number of skid patches you will have... thanks to sheldon brown (you know who he is) for telling me this.
thanks for the math lesson prof hugh! others might prefer to let the cornputer do it but to each his own...
what time do you want to go ride tonight? I'm thinking after 8:30pm
ez!
