It was good to see so many earnest and hard working professionals meeting in one place for a free exchange of ideas. However I was amazed when one of the suspicions I mentioned in my last edito­ rial - the Victorian Government's ul­ terior motive behind the choice of Geelong as the venue - was proven to be reasonably close to the mark. The selecti o n of Geelong as a venue (when it should have been held in Mel­ bourne) was apparently made because of the lack of a suitable venue with li ve­ in confere nce faci li ties - a t re lati vely short notice - in the capital.

  • CHECKLIST Trust in Sapim Spokes
    CHECKLIST Trust in Sapim spokes Dear Friend, As you know, bicycle and wheel technology has developed considerably over the last few years: the increasing use of materials such as carbon-fibre, different aluminium alloys, titanium and stainless steel, means you continually need to update your wheelbuilding skills. Lighter wheels and light- weight bikes create new demands. Twenty-one speed gearing and disc brakes has affected wheel geometry and added to material fatigue. Sapim’s Research and Development Department is able to offer you advice on wheelbuilding which conforms with Product Liability and Customer Safety Regulations. This document is prepared with the assistance of professional mechanics working in MTB and Road racing. Yours in sport, Sapim’s advice on building and maintaining good wheels FACTS COMMENTS Correct spoke length After the wheel is centred, the spoke will be visible at the top of the nipple. Choice of the spoke type Suited to both wheel construction and bicycle type. It is not correct to think that a thicker spoke makes a stronger wheel. A stronger wheel is obtained by using a thinner (more flexible) spoke, • for hubs with large holes, use Sapim Leader Ø 2.30 mm spokes • when the spokes in the wheel show a mis-alignment to the nipple, use Sapim Strong Ø 2.30 mm spokes, butted to 2.00 mm; very often they improve the spoke-nipple alignment. For race wheels, Sapim CX-Ray and Sapim RACE are preferable; they are more resistant to vibrations. For MTB and CYCLO CROSS we advise the use of Sapim CX-Ray, Sapim RACE or Sapim LASER (do not use Sapim Laser in wheels with disc brakes).

First Mechanical Bicycle Wheel Lacer olland Mechanics built its first mechanical wheel lacing machine back in 1970. The proj- World of Wheels Hect got the code name CF, and the inventors tentatively offered their labour-saver to various bicycle factories in the Netherlands en nearby Europe. The all-mechanical lacing machine had an automat- ic nipple feed and reduced the operators’ work to bringing each spoke in front to the right spoke hole. The machine proved itself as reliable and very cost- effective, and during the first couple of years a total of no less than 900 have been sold. The machine was born when the Dutch importer of English bicycles got complete knocked-down bicycles instead of fully-assembled. They had to build their own wheels. Outsourcing in those days meant jails and monasteries and it involved a lot of logistics and time management problems. To overcome these, founding father Van Doornik and his dedicated technical engineer sat together and developed the lacing machine, on purpose. When the machine appeared to be a technical step forward, and, raditional bicycle markets are changing. Europe without any need for time-consuming adjustment to at least as important, a commercial success, the project got 10 new member states, most of them with a wheel diameter, spoke pattern or spoke number. was turned into what is now Holland Mechanics, the Tbicycle industry.

  • Triathlon-Equipment-For-Newbies.Pdf
    Triathlon Equipment for Newbies You have started training for your first triathlon, and you are wondering what you will need to purchase to train and compete in your first race. Triathlon is a sport for gearheads and techies and you can burn a lot of money fast buying equipment. Our advice is to go slow on buying stuff until you are sure that this is going to be the sport for you. Many people train for and compete in their first triathlon with a minimum of equipment. Once you have done a race, you will have a much better sense of what you want. Absolute Basics So there are a few things that you absolutely must have in order to train for and compete in a triathlon. Swim : Suit: obviously, you need a swim suit. Training -- Whatever you have will work for training. Men should avoid loose fitting swimshorts -- buy a body-hugging lycra or nylon suit of modest length (jammers or regular shorts -- not the super short "speedos"). Women -- a simple one piece lycra or nylon suit is good for training. Competition -- Most YTri members buy the two-piece YTri uniform that Sugoi makes for us. We wear the uniform throughout the race -- under our wetsuits, and then on the bike and the run. The suit dries quickly, and it saves having to change clothing in transition. If you don't buy the uniform, you should find a tight-fitting race top and a pair of bike shorts to race in. Goggles: You need swim goggles for training and competition.
