Expanded coaster-brake coverage
Coverage of coaster brakes on sheldonbrown.com has been greatly expanded, now including all the most common models, old and new.
Video editor review
Continuing work to provide useful information to bicyclists using helmet cameras (and others editing video on home computers), John has written an extended review of Avid Studio and Pinnacle Studio video editing applications. This review contains much useful information on getting up the learning curve in Avid Studio, which is very powerful but has some serious gaps in the Help and user manual.

http://sheldonbrown.com/bike-friday-hinge.html
A question remains: how tight to tighten the bolts.They press the frame tabs against the barrel of the hinge. Probably not too, too tight.
Video makes a debut
John has put a video on the fenders page. Many more to come!
More about belt drive
John has revised information on belt drive to cover the Gates Carbon Drive.
Bicycle video: new article, and updates
John has added an article on the Deshaker image-stabilization plugin for the free Windows application VirtualDub, and has updated and expanded the generic article on image stabilization and the one on the GoPro helmet camera.
Fenders
John has made major additions to the article on fenders. It now covers some additional points and has many more photo illustrations.
Chains
Major update to our article on chain maintenance — bicycle chain was developed in the U.K. and is dimensioned in inches. Most of the world including the U.K. has gone over to the metric system. How do you tell whether a worn chain needs replacement using a ruler marked off in centimeters? We’ll show you how! (Inches too, of course.)
