Alright, time to get serious about this.
We need:
1. "Vibey" bike
2. "Non-Vibey" bike
3. Both bikes are identical, various bolt-ons are known to cause vibrations.
4. Doohicky to measure vibrations. Mount it on handlebar. Doohicky needs to be able to capture RPM and MPH at same time (3 way data point - Vibe/RPM/MPH). Or, we have a time component and have separate measuring devices and merge the data later.
5. Test rider to ride a course two times, one on each bike, with as similar as possible with regards to speed, shifting, etc.
I'll bring Minitab and we'll do some crunching.
It would be interesting, wouldn't it?
