Shimano 4-speed IG Hub Page Updated

Shimano Nexus 4-speed page updated — in our continuing quest to keep up to date with Shimano’s ever-changing Web site, we’ve updated the links and related information on Shimano Nexus 4-speed internal-gear hubs

Shimano 8-speed IG hub update

Sheldonbrown.com provides a forwarding page whenever we consolidate or move material. Not so Shimano, which broke all our links to its technical information. Sigh. We have just repaired our page on Shimano 8-speed internal-gear hubs.

Done with updating the Cyclecomputer/GPS Database…for now

We’re done updating the cyclecomputer and GPS database — this is the Internet’s most complete listing — except that it never is complete, as new models appear and old manuals are unearthed. Please feel free to send in information!

Cyclecomputer and GPS database update

Our cyclecomputer and GPS database is undergoing a major review. We’re not all done yet but we have fixed a number of bad links where manufacturers dropped support — thanks to the Internet Archive and our backup copies. And then there are the new models…many of them. We thought that cyclecomputers were passé, what with the advent of GPS, but this is still a strong product category. We found a number of new brand names as well.
