Bikeshd London » '' The Rapha Continental. The Rapha Continental began in the US in 2007 as an antidote to the clinical aspects of road racing.
It was conceived as a more creative expression of road riding, with the belief that you don’t need to pin a race number on to experience the pleasure that comes from tough rides. From the start, the Continental has been about exploring the road less travelled, discovering those things you only find out on the open road with your fellow riders. It’s about that sense of camaraderie that comes from sharing the effort and the adventure of meeting new places and people along the way. In documenting their experiences the riders of the Continental created an inspiring online journal of films, photography, ride maps and cue sheets. Six years later, the Rapha Continental has become a global journey, with rides now being documented in the UK, Japan, Australia, Europe and southeast Asia.
Hampsten Cycles 7-Eleven Tribute. Andy Hampsten’s Team 7-Eleven livery is one of the most iconic in American cycling. Indeed, the team’s victories and Andy’s numerous triumphs were responsible for an overall increase in interest in bike racing in the US. Hampsten Cycles continue to inspire; this 7-Eleven Tribute track bike was featured at the recent 2013 NAHBS. The 7-Eleven Tribute was created with a specific velodrome in mind, being the 250 meter loop in Erie, Colorado. The frame is constructed from Columbus’ SPIRIT for lugs , joined to Richard Sachs’ ‘ Richie-issimo Series ‘ lugs. Spectrum Cycles.

Over the years we've seen and painted just about everything you can imagine. We know a lot about bicycle paint and finish and we want to share it with you. Cleaning your natural brush finish frame is a lot like counting grains of sand on the beach. It's always frustrating and it seems to never end. The main "trick" is to take preemptive action as much as possible rather than trying to clean a very dirty frame. Return to Top Spectrum is very happy to offer Traveling Colors! In its basic form, this paint has no pigment in it.

Search sheldonbrown.com and sheldonbrown.org Bottom Bracket Size Database This page is a listing of various bicycle crank sets, and the bottom brackets that fit them.
Sheldon solicited information from readers to collect this data but that project is on hold until we set up a new mechanism for collecting and posting additional data. This is the information he colected: Crank Make Examples: Campagnolo, Nervar, Shimano, Stronglight, SR (Sakae Ringyo) Sugino, TA, Takagi Crank Model Single-Double-Triple Spindle/BB Code and Size Examples: D3H, 68 ss 120, UN72 68 x 113, UN52 70 x 107, 344...See the section for your brand of crank for details of the measurement system used. Tutorial - Bicycle Bearing Basics - Page 4 of 13. Since bicycle ball bearings are very low speed and torque bearings, typical axle grease from a hardware store is all you need when regreasing them.
Axle grease will come in a round cylinder that is made to fit into a caulking gun, but will be applied manually when used for bicycle bearings. Membership and benefits.

Commuter - Upgrading straight handlebars to drop handlebars - Bicycles Stack Exchange. I was trying to figure out if this would work on my bike a few weeks ago.
I decided against it. I think this is a pretty good description of some of the problems you may encounter: If you compare top tube lengths, mountain bikes are longer at every size than road bikes. The reason for that is that drop bars put the brake hoods, which are the principal hand position for most road riders, a lot further forward of the steer tube than the grips on a mountain bike. Obviously it can be done, and depending on how your built and how the bike is sized you may even prefer it. Source. Www.lifecycleuk.org.uk/sites/staging.lifecycleuk.org.uk/files/files/brakes.pdf. Sheldon Brown's Bicycle Glossary Bo. Bolt Circle Diameter (B.C.D.)
On a crankset, the diameter of the circle formed by the stack bolts. Common 5-bolt double-chainwheel sets use 130 mm or 110 mm diameters. Modern triple chainwheel sets have two diameters, a large one for the two outer chainrings, and a smaller diameter, with a separate set of bolts, for the granny ring. Full-size triples usually use 110 mm/74 mm, or 130 mm/74 mm for newer "road triples. " Campagnolo uses 135 mm/74 mm. Some crank sizes: Bikes, & Bicycles for Sale. Condor Cycles.
