For those of you that have collected (banked) multiable spins in the TREK DREAM BIGGER GIVEAWAY noticed when you spin the wheel. The marker stops in the same spot everytime... It doesn't matter how long or short you hold down the spin button. The wheel turns at the same speed, the same number of revolutions and stops in the same spot everytime!
I banked 12 spins and noticed this didn't look right after the 2nd and 3rd spin. So I marked on my monitor the width of the yellow band and where the band stopped on my 3rd spin, then spun the wheel time after time after time. Well guess what... the wheel stopped
with-in the maked spot everytime.
Now think about this... If you where to take a real bike and spin the cranks hard or soft, the wheel would never stop in the same place twice. So if this was to be a simulated or modeled after a real bike crank spin would the results be the same, stopping in different location?
To all us bone heads, I think this was just a stupid marking ploy to get us to login on to TREKS web-site and fill our heads with grand illusions of winning something that designed never to be won. All while enticing us to drool over thier new bikes and accessories and possibly leading us into a "I want/desire" spending mood.
Just something to think about :thumbsup:
