Wheelbuilding The wide availability of inexpensive, well-built replacement wheels has reduced the need for wheelbuilding in retail bike shops.
Nevertheless, there are still times when custom-built (or rebuilt) wheels are needed, especially in the case of higher-end bikes that have expensive hubs that are too good to throw away. Also, the combination of hub and rim that you want may not be available off the shelf: commonly, for example, if you would like to use an internal-gear hub. Learning to build wheels is an important milestone in the education of an apprentice mechanic. A "mechanic" who has not mastered this basic skill cannot be considered to be a fully-qualified, professional, and will always feel inferior to those who can list wheelbuilding among their skills. Although this article was originally directed to shop mechanics, a knowledge of wheelbuilding can be invaluable to any cyclist who wishes to do his or her own maintenance and repair.
Note: This is not an important issue! 2016 UPDATED HOPE HUBS SPOKE OFFSET AND PCD. Derailleur Cordz Set 1.2mm. Description: Power Cordz™ are the lightest control cable option on the market!
Our synthetic fiber cables are the option for elite cyclists around the world. Industry standard 1.2mm Derailleur Cordz are compatible with all shifter types and work with 4mm and wider housing diameters. New "In-Line" fiber arrangement and improved nylon coating reduce friction to enhance shift accuracy and durability. Powercordz Synthetic Shift Cables - Review. Who else out there thinks that it is bit odd that we are still using steel cables to control shifting (and sometimes braking) on our advanced modern bicycles?
While there are certainly arguments to be made in their favor, they're cheap and easy to work with, there are also drawbacks to the time tested steel wire based system. Any rider who has had their shifting go haywire shortly after having a new cable installed knows full well how much a standard cable is affected by stretch. One minute things are dialed and the next it's like your derailleur has a mind of its own.
It may only need a quick adjustment, but it can be a pain in the ass regardless. The larger issue is how easily susceptible a steel cable is to contaminates, even when used with fully enclosed housing. Shimano. How to Fit a Bicycle. How to Fit a Bicycle by Peter Jon White.

The Torch road hubs use the same drivering and pawls as the moutain hubs. However, we reduced the pawl count to 3 instead of 6 for lower drag and weight while still achieving an industry leading (for road hubs) 6 degree engagement. Relocated bearings, and a new freehub seal reduce freehub drag while coasting. The Torch road hubs now feature custom Teflon contact seals for the endcaps, which we manufacture in-house. They fully seal the hubs from mud and water - tight enough for a muddy CX season, but smooth enough for drag-free road miles. Available in 10 different colors and multiple drilling options.

Nanodrive Bicycle Chain Drive System. Historical Background: Back in the Olden Days, people used to ride with huge 1" (25.4 mm) pitch chains, and 3/16" (4.8 mm) wide sprocket teeth.
As time went on and materials improved, by the 1940s, most bikes converted to 1/2" (12.7 mm) pitch chain, with 1/8" (3.2 mm) thick sprockets. When the first "10 speed" bikes appeared, in the late 1950s, with 5 sprockets in back, chains and sprockets were thinned to 3/32" (2.4 mm) but they stuck to the 1/2" pitch dimension. In the early 1980s, Shimano tried to introduce a slightly smaller 0.3937 pitch chain (10 mm) but nobody wanted that metric junk, and it really wasn't that much smaller anyway. That was all back before anybody who matters was even born, and now it's time for the first 21st century drive train: "Nanodrive/Quarter-Twenty".
Real mountain bikers don't need any more than the present standard 27 speeds, but can greatly benefit from improved ground clearance and reduced weight. SPEEDHUB: www.rohloff.de. Human Generator – new e-bike trades the chain for an alternator. The Mando Footloose is a folding e-bike with a chainless drivetrain Image Gallery (4 images) A bicycle born out of auto industry technology, the Mando Footloose makes claim of using the world's first chainless series hybrid technology for an e-bike.
Like other pedal-assisted electric bikes, the bike combines manual and electric power. Unlike other pedelecs, it eliminates the chain and transforms the cyclist's motion directly into electricity. As integral as it is to the design of most bikes, the chain is arguably the most annoying component. Korean auto suppliers Mando Corp. and Meister Inc. got together with British designer Mark Sanders and Dutch e-bike expert Han Goes to make a common evil a little less necessary.
What sets the bike apart from others is that pedal input is transformed directly into electricity via an alternator connected to the crank.
