What is the Coefficient Cm?

[gregh3285]

In various profile editing dialog boxes is reference to Cm. What is Cm? What does it mean to my profile? For the three profiles I've created, the only number I have is 1.020. There is no reference to in in the iBike documentation. A web search points to aerodynamic moment as being the most likely reference.

The problem is that the search function does not work. Unless you stumble acorss something you have no choice but to ask again.

The search function is odd. I've had some success with it just by continuing to add search terms.

I know this is a bit off-topic, but I've never been able to get the search to work, no matter how much I phutz with it. Travis, can you give me an example of how you've gotten it to work?

Yesterday, I tried "Cm" first and it didn't work of course. After that I tried "Cm drive chain" and it worked. Of course, if you don't know what Cm is, you are at a disadvantage for coming up with additional search terms...

But it is all moot. I just figured out how to get rid off the "common word" problem. Search away!
