Bottom bracket information revised
We’ve added David Richardson’s photo of damage to a Shimano Octalink V1 crank from installing it on a V2 spindle to the bottom-bracket database. Also, we’ve coordinated bottom-bracket threading standards tables in the several files where they appear.
Jobst Brandt pages updated
Harriet has reorganized the Jobst Brandt pages — formatting for easier reading, placing them into categories and in sequence, fixed broken links. Brandt’s trenchant comments demolish a number of bicycling myths, and bring an engineering perspective to issues of mechanical design and performance.
Home-brew hybrid gearing
Additions to the article on internal-gear hubs — more about how to construct a multi-speed hybrid-gearing system using a stock 3-speed hub and two sprockets and/or two chainwheels. It indexes even without index shifters! Photo courtesy of Mark Stonich.
