En fixed gear sykkel (fastnav) er en sykkel hvor drevet bak er skrudd fast på navet uten frihjulsnav. Så lenge hjulet går rundt går også kranken rundt og omvendt. En fixed gear sykkel kan også sykles baklengs...

For et voksende antall syklister er ikke fixed gear sykling bare en måte å komme fra A til B på men mer en livsstil. Her hører vi hva en fixed gear entusiast snakke om det.

For a growing number of cyclists, riding a fixed gear is not only a mode of transportation, but a way of life. Hear a fixed gear enthusiast talk about it to learn more.

Threadless Bottom Brackets

Jeg fant dette på Velo Orange sin blog!
I found this on Velo Orange Blog!



The threadless bottom brackets that I mentioned a few months ago have arrived and are available in the VO store. They fit most frames, even those with Swiss threading. And they work on frames with damaged BB shells, even if the existing threading is totally stripped.

Unlike previous attempts at threadless BBs, this new design is "internally expanding". As the adjustable cup is tightened the silver sleeve (see photo) is pushed up the tapered alloy cups, expanding and locking in the BB. This differs from older designs, like the Mavic, that pressed in from the outside and would sometimes slip. Installation requires only a traditional-style BB spanner or a pin wrench. The BB shell does not require chamfering or facing, simply slip the BB into the shell and tighten.

Like the other Grand Cru BBs, these have sealed cartridge bearings so require no servicing and should have a very long life. Taper is JIS and available spindle lengths include 103mm, 107mm, 110mm, 113mm, 116mm, 122mm, 127mm. The color is as shown (sorry). Price is $60.

We have tried these on British, French, and Swiss frames and they work perfectly. I don't know if they will work in the odd Raleigh BB shells since we don't have frames to test them in. These BB will make it cost effective to put a lot of great old frames back on the road, especially Swiss threaded Motobecanes.

Speaking of BBs, Grand Cru Italian thread BBs, with JIS taper, will arrive in a couple of months.

Campagnolo Shamal and Alien



Har hatt et Campagnolo Shamal forhjul liggende en stund. Planen var å ha det foran på Alta'n. Har prøvd å finne et Sshamal Track bakhjul men det er ikke så lett. Derfor har jeg nå kjøpt et polert Alien hjulsett. Alien sin polerte felgbane ligner litt på Shamal sin felgbane. Så da blir det Alien bak og Campa foran...

I've had a Shamal frontwheel for a while now. I have been looking for a Shamal Track rear wheel but that's not easy to find. So I got a polished wheelset from Alien. The rim from Alien has olmost the same look as the Shamal rim. So now it'll be Alien vs Shamal...
