Worked example
Worked example: 6.0 %. Gradient. Angle: 3.4°. Change the numbers and the result updates immediately.
How to use it
- Enter the distance the bike computer shows, along the road.
- Enter the elevation gain in meters.
- Add a time and VAM appears too.
From elevation gain and distance along the road we get the horizontal run and the true gradient. Add a time and VAM appears too. For pace on a GPX, use Kyrie.
