Reply to "PROPOSED USE OF TIRE PRESSURE TO IMPROVE CALIBRATION"

Dale:
I have extensively elaborated on my report and have included a detailed account of my design for a Schrader gauge that vents no significant air from the tire.
Even if you do not use my hose and gauge connections, I disagree that you cannot keep your tire pressure constant as required in the method. Note that air losses from the tire will only occur at connection and never at disconnection, when your floor pump gauge will show the precise pressure of the tire. Thus, you will be able to keep the same pressure before every course ride as you had before calibration.
You can make a simple check to see whether or not the method will work for you. Mark a fairly straight course and ride it several times over a period of days and temperature extremes keeping of course the weight on the bike and the pressure constant. You will be surprised as to how stable the total counts will be.
