So conversely, 1 Xyster = about 100 Randy's ?
Crap, I had no idea I was THAT annoying!

That's not a standard usage for "duty cycle". Normally duty cycle is supposed to mean the percentage of time that a PWM controller is in the "open" state. When the gate is open a lot you have a high percentage of the voltage passing through to the motor and it's said that you have a high percentage duty cycle number. In a hyper-simplified simulation with a fixed gear they are more or less related, but not on a geared bike.
The way you are using "duty cycle" you're thinking in terms of what percentage of time that "in operation" the rpms are at peak power or some other rpm. So you're creating a source of potential confusion. :?
What is the real name of the "operational duty cycle" if that phrase is incorrect?
Anyone?
If you could invent a bike that ran on ego, you would set the land speed record.

a girl could easily spend 1000 dollars on a designer bikini or more on a dress but they function the same and i could put her in some $200 clothes that would make her just as hot and you could have more fun without woring about stains
