robertsmalls yes id be very happy if you were able to make up something for the wiki that gives a indication of the theoretical impact of rolling resistance and aero.
I have also made up one for aero impact specifically for aero impact of a antenna. the link is in the initial post in this thread, it is very simplistic though so i welcome any further input into this.
for people that are suggesting in their posts that weight isn't important because it only gets wasted when you break, that is the point of the calculations and that is what they prove. It will show people that are considering removing weight to improve efficiency that weight wont give you much of an improvement unless you break a lot in stop go traffic.
regarding kinetic / momentum discussion after rechecking the equations and physics books i haven't opened for a while I assume we are all just talking about the wording rather than the numbers (Please correct me if this is wrong). I personally am not worried about the wording / definitions i am only worried in the numbers that come out, i think its my engineering attitude compared to a physicists attitude. I have attempted to fix up the wording but please let me know if its still wrong and ill modify again or anyone is welcome to modify the wiki page themselves
