Hello! Glad i have found this forum!
I was looking at some bicycle frame tests. For headtube for example, the stiffness of the frame is reflected in N/degree. Then it divides to kg to find out the stiffness-to-weight ration.
For bottom bracket, they are measuring it in N/mm.
My question is: if i can measure the deflection of the frame in mm, how can i achieve the final result in N/degree? IS there a possibility to transform mm in N/degree? The frame is loaded with 20 kg to see how much it deflects.
Reformulated: if i know the deflection in mm, and the weight of 20 kg applied to deflect the frame, how can i find out the final result in N/degree?
Any help is really appreciated! Thank you very much!
