Radial Technology. For the first time our High Density Technology makes possible to radialy, in-build a protection belt into a bicycle tire. The tire retains its shape better. Internal friction and rolling resistance are reduced. Triple Nano Compound. A completely revised nano-sized polymer base and fillers has made our triple compound even better. The filler particles that were formerly 200 nanometers in size now measure a mere 10 nanometers, or 0.00000001 M. This reduction has two crucial advantages: 1. The internal friction within the rubber is reduced, lowering rolling resistance. 2. More, smaller particles have much more surface area than few larger ones meaning the contact area is greater that results in improved grip. Result: An out- standing all-round compound that we use it in the tread center. Beneath this lies the base compound that is light and easy rolling, while the tire shoulders have the now legendary grippy compound. hIGh-DENSITY High Density Guard is a unique puncture protection technology only available from Schwalbe. It has been jointly developed in co-operation with American firm Warwick Mills. Warwick is a specialist maker of high density fabrics and holds 14 international patents for its weaving technology. No other bicycle tire protection belt is as densely woven and this technology makes it possible to make a tire that is both light in weight and with an extraordinary high level of puncture resistance. 4 Ultremo R – Created using new construction principles and with new high tech materials. Rolling resistance and weight have been radically reduced! Improve your personal best by a factor of R.

ULTREMO R Update R.1 Special conditions? Special answers!

The amazing Wetgrip Compound makes a noticeable and, at the end, marked difference. The outstanding grip is unparalleled in difficult conditions! This counterbalances the minimal higher rolling friction as opposed to the Ultremo R. Of course, Ultremo Aqua has all of the technological features found in the Ultremo R.

This unique, high-density fabric offers highly effective protection against penetration punctures. The additional coating of tiny ceramic particles blunts small shards of embedded glass, so that migration through the tire is stalled. SnakeSkin. The addition of “snake skin” protects the tire shoulder and side wall against sharp rocks and broken glass. Although side wall defects are quite rare in road racing, it is still annoying when it happens. And worse, the tire is often not just punctured by a cut, it is frequently completely destroyed. Double Defense is the best prevention against this happening. 6 Team Liquigas, Tour de France 2009 The top competition tire with all around protection. As well as the HD Ceramic belt it is also protected by a complete SnakeSkin fabric. This additional protection works particularly well on the shoulders and side walls. Cuts by glass shards, or sharp flints are effectively repelled. Weight and rolling resistance remain low. Naturally with Triple Nano Compound. Speed Grip Protection Durability Rolling .... Puncture ..... Weight .... Snake bite ... Sidewall ..... ULTREMO DD For mile eaters.

The guys at Old Town Bike Shop in Colorado Springs have built up a lot of bikes for me over the years, most of them fairly utilitarian, loaded touring machines, the pickup trucks of the cycling world. Many have had a certain je ne sais quoi, and a few have been downright handsome. But “cool?” That’s not a word that leaps to mind when you’re evaluating the dubious charms of an Ford F-150.

    Making a Pedal Pitch - Possible Research Topics the Following Are Some Ideas for Guiding a Brainstorming Session

    Intel® Teach Program Designing Effective Projects Making a Pedal Pitch - Possible Research Topics The following are some ideas for guiding a brainstorming session. Numbering corresponds to exercise numbers. 1. Wheel diameter: Is it possible to fill front panniers so full that the bags limit the turning radius of the bicycle? What is the turning radius needed for streets that intersect at various angles? Does the size of the wheel affect the turning radius (compare a BMX bicycle with a mountain bicycle)? Is there a relationship between wheel diameter and coasting distance? 2. Banking of race courses: Calculate the speeds for which a particular bicycle racecourse or velodrome is designed. 3. Reading and making graphs: Create a time and distance graph to describe a summer biathlon competition (cross-country cycling and marksmanship). Create a time and distance graph to describe an Ironman Triathlon (running, swimming, cycling) 4. Bicycle falling over: Has a bicycle or tricycle falling over been used in comedy? Do they fall over at fast or slow speeds? Why are bicycle helmets needed? Who wears them … in your community, in your state, nationally? For a child, teen, or adult, what is the sitting height on a typical tricycle or bicycle for each age group (hot wheels, small bicycle, BMX, trail bicycle, touring bicycle, racing bicycle, an old fashioned bicycle with large front wheel and small back wheel, unicycle)? What are safe ways to transport a child using a bicycle? Is a child safer seated behind the rider, in front of the rider (using a specialized seat and pedals), in a towed cart?

    Blackstone Bicycle Works Refurbished Bicycle Buyers Guide Always wear a helmet and make sure it fits! • Blackstone Bicycle Works sells donated bicycles that we refurbish and sell to help support our youth program. There are different types of bicycles that are good for different styles of riding. • What type of riding would you like to do on your new refurbished bicycle? Choosing Your Bicycle Types of Bicycles at Blackstone Bicycle Works The Cruiser Cruisers have a laid-back upright position for a more comfortable ride. Usually a single speed and sometimes has a coaster brake. Some cruisers also have internally geared hubs that can range from 3-speed and up. With smooth and some-times wider tires this bicycle is great for commuting and utility transport of groceries and other supplies. Add a front basket and rear rack easily to let the bike do the work of carrying things. Most cruisers will accept fenders to help protect you and the bicycle from the rain and snow. The Hybrid Bicycle A hybrid bicycle is mix of a road and mountain bicycle. These bicycles offer a range in gearing and accept wider tires than road bikes do. Some hybrids have a suspension fork while others are rigid. Hybrid bicycles are great for commuting in the winter months because the wider tires offer more stability. You can ride off-road, but it is not recommended for mountain bike trails or single-track riding. Great for gravel and a good all-around versatile bicycle. Great for utility, commuting and for leisure rides to and from the lake front.
