Bridgestone 1982 Catalog
Thanks to Daniel den Hartog for his PDF of the 1982 Bridgestone Bicycles catalog, now online from the Bridgestone table of contents page along with all the other catalogs from 1985 through 1994 and a wealth of other information.
Sachs Elan/SRAM E12 Internals
John has posted a new article about the mechanism of the Sachs Elan/SRAM E12 12-speed internal-gear hub; the largest, heaviest, most complicated internal-gear hub ever marketed — flawed execution of a brilliant design concept. The unusual way this hub establishes its ratios carries an important lesson. In connection with that article, John has updated his article about the history of the Elan, his main page about Sachs/SRAM hubs and the internal-gear calculator.

New search function
Google shut down the search function that our site had been doing for years, to prevent spammers from using it. We have replaced it with a different function, which works. This is not yet in place on all pages — patience, please!
Page updates
John has updated chains.html, with some added thoughts about chain cleaning, and more pictures; also leather.html, with a couple of comments from readers about leather treatments; k7.html and k8.shtml to reflect changes in product availability.
