If you’re unsure of what I mean by a “gravel bike,” it’s a bike that fills the void between touring and cyclocross bikes, yet it’s not quite a randonneur bike. In this case, the void is pretty small, but it’s an area the bicycle industry sees an opportunity to expand in. When I first set eyes on the Volagi Viaje, my intuition was to add it into the gravel-bike column. It has clearance for wide tires, shorter chainstays than you’d find on traditional touring bikes, yet a tall head tube for comfort, and a system to absorb vibration in the back.

  • Sidecar Construction 101 - Andrew Fairbank
    Sidecar Construction 101 - Andrew Fairbank I can't explain what drives me to pick up a hacksaw and start cutting up an inherently unstable vehicle, a motorcycle, and build it into an unstable and asymmetrical one, a sidecar. In many ways, a motorcycle is an unsuitable vehicle to make into a racing sidecar. The steering geometry is all wrong, the riding position is too high, the wheelbase is too short, and the wheels are too large in diameter. Although one could bolt a sidecar platform to a stock motorcycle and go racing, I wouldn't recommend it. The classic and super vintage sidecars we race should be able to be driven around corners with one hand, they shouldn't wobble uncontrollably, and they should be able to withstand at least a seasons? racing without major failures. These are not lofty goals. These are aspects of our class we can assume as long as those building rigs take care to adhere to sound engineering principles. A racing sidecar should be a purpose built vehicle with a frame structure suited to the particular stresses to which it will be exposed. This requires quite a bit of reconstruction of the donor vehicle. I like to use a portion of the frame which the engine came in because the engine mounts are there, the swing arm is aligned to the trans output shaft and usually some part of the front down tube or tubes is long enough to attach the new steering head to. When I design a new rig I start with the steering geometry.

    List of bicycle parts Bicycle parts For other cycling related terms (besides parts) see Glossary of cycling. List of bicycle parts by alphabetic order: Axle: as in the generic definition, a rod that serves to attach a wheel to a bicycle and provides support for bearings on which the wheel rotates. Also sometimes used to describe suspension components, for example a swing arm pivot axle Bar ends: extensions at the end of straight handlebars to allow for multiple hand positions Bar plugs or end caps: plugs for the ends of handlebars Basket: cargo carrier Bearing: a device that facilitates rotation by reducing friction Bell: an audible device for warning pedestrians and other cyclists Belt-drive: alternative to chain-drive Bicycle brake cable: see Cable Bottle cage: a holder for a water bottle Bottom bracket: The bearing system that the pedals (and cranks) rotate around. Contains a spindle to which the crankset is attached and the bearings themselves. There is a bearing surface on the spindle, and on each of the cups that thread into the frame. The bottom bracket may be overhaulable (an adjustable bottom bracket) or not overhaulable (a cartridge bottom bracket). The bottom bracket fits inside the bottom bracket shell, which is part of the bicycle frame Brake: devices used to stop or slow down a bicycle. Rim brakes and disc brakes are operated by brake levers, which are mounted on the handlebars. Band brake is an alternative to rim brakes but can only be installed at the rear wheel.
