24. We note that for carriers within the chains, tr can be estimated indirectly from ρb since the Drude formula for conductivity in a quasi-1D metal is independent of the number of carriers [see, e.g., A. Narduzzo, New J. Phys. NJOPFM 1367-2630 8, 172 (2006)]. Extrapolating from high fields (Fig. 1), or from high temperatures, we obtain a lower bound of tr within the chains of 1000. 10.1088/1367-2630/8/9/172

Their data show oscillations with F=660±15T and m*=3.0±0.3me, which are the same as the values reported here within the quoted error.
