  • UCI Approved List
    LIST OF APPROVED MODELS OF FRAMES AND FORKS Version on 11.08.2016 The Approval Procedure of bicycle frames and came into force on 1 January 2011 in accordance with Article 1.3.001bis of the UCI Regulations. From this date, all new models of frames and forks used by licence holders in road (RD), time trial (TT), track (TR) and cyclo-cross (CX) events must be approved on the basis of the Approval Protocol for Frames and Forks available from the UCI website. Approval by the UCI certifies that the new equipment meets the shape requirements set out in the UCI regulations. However, this approval does not certify in any case the safety of the equipment which must meet the applicable official quality and safety standards, in accordance with Article 1.3.002 of the UCI regulations. The models which are subject to the approval procedure are: all new models of frames and forks used by licence holders in road, track or cyclo-cross events, all models of frames and forks under development on 1 January 2011 which had not yet reached the production stage (the date of the order form of the moulds is evidence), any changes made to the geometry of existing models after 1 January 2011. Models on the market, at the production stage or already manufactured on 1 January 2011 are not required to be approved during the transition stage. However, the non-approved models have to comply in any case with the UCI technical regulations (Articles 1.3.001 to 1.3.025) and are subjects to the commissaires decision during events.

  • Newsletter December 2009 Final
    cyclefitcentre.com/pedal pushers December, 2009 ph: 83388911 fx:83388922 newsletter Bloody hell, 10 months since a newsletter! Yeah, it’s been a while and plenty has happened in that time but we’ve been so busy there was no time to write this. What ever is going on in the wider world, the GFC has had a positive affect on us. Consider this a condensed version of the last 10 months. Just the highlights! Jayson Austin breaks the Masters Hour Record. Old news for some of you, but Jays got over last years disappointment in fine style by breaking the existing record by 2.6 kms! He promises to have a real go next time which might just be next year. Note the interesting placement of his SRM computer head Dura Ace Di2 As someone who has owned both Mavic Zap and Mavic Mektronic, I was interested to see Shimano’s iteration of electric shifting and give it a workout. By now you’ve read all about it but from my point of view the most impressive thing is the front derailleur shifting. When shifting up or down with the front derailleur on any bike that I’ve ridden, the rider needs to back off their pedaling effort for a pedal stroke or part pedal stroke to allow the chain to move up to the big ring or down from the big ring. Not with Di2. Off the seat, giving it everything you’ve got, the Di2 front derailleur will just shift without drama………….. and quickly. Coach Alex letti ng Jays know that he’s only 2.5kms up on the THE group set at the moment.

  • Adjustments and Settings Electronic Groupsets
    ADJUSTMENTS 1 - ZERO SETTING of the rear derailleur IMPORTANT! Resetting the rear derailleur to zero is a particularly delicate operation and must be carried out when the bicycle is stationary and placed on a stand. This is why it should be conducted only and exclusively by a Campagnolo Service Center, a Campagnolo Pro-shop or a mechanic specialised in mounting EPS groupsets. 1.1 - HOW TO RESET THE REAR DERAILLEUR TO ZERO During the first installation and in some cases when the rear wheel is replaced, if the set of sprockets of the new wheel is very different from the set of sprockets previously installed, it is necessary to conduct a more accurate adjustment by resetting the rear derailleur to zero. • During the resetting, the rear derailleur is shifted con- Left control lever Right control lever tinuously and this depends on how long the levers 2 (B - Fig.1) and 3 (C - Fig.1) , located on the rear derailleur control, are pressed.

  • On the Effectiveness of Suspension Stems in Reducing the Vibration Transmitted to a Cyclist’S Hands in Road Cycling †
    Proceedings On the Effectiveness of Suspension Stems in Reducing the Vibration Transmitted to a Cyclist’s Hands in Road Cycling † Jean-Marc Drouet 1,*, Derek Covill 2 and Antoine Labrie 1 1 VÉLUS Laboratory, Mechanical Engineering Department, Université de Sherbrooke, 2500 Boulevard de l’Université, Sherbrooke, QC J1K 2R1, Canada; [email protected] 2 School of Computing, Engineering and Mathematics—University of Brighton, Cockcroft Building, Lewes Road, Brighton BN2 4GJ, UK; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-819-821-8000 (ext. 61345) † Presented at the 13th conference of the International Sports Engineering Association, Online, 22–26 June 2020. Published: 15 June 2020 Abstract: The practice of road cycling is often associated with low levels of comfort for the cyclist and can be a physically painful experience on bad roads. Apart from cushioning in the saddle, applying handlebar tape, or reducing tyre pressure, a road bicycle offers in itself few options for comfort improvement, as it is primarily designed for performance, with emphasis on low mass and high stiffness. However, a range of components exist (e.g., suspension stems and seatposts) that can be fitted to a road bicycle, which can potentially improve comfort. In this context, the aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of suspension stems in reducing the vibration transmitted to a cyclist’s hands in the case of impact loading. The results showed an important reduction in the vibrational energy transmitted to a cyclist’s hands with two commercially available suspension stems compared to a regular stem.
