There’s more troubleshooting advice now in our article about Sachs/SRAM internal-gear hubs: how to test whether a problem is inside the hub, or only in the shifter and cable — for hubs with 3, 5 or 7 speeds, with pullchain(s) or clickbox.

Sheldon’s Articles for Adventure Cycling
From 1999 through 2007, Sheldon wrote the column “Mechanical Advantage” for Adventure Cycling, the magazine of the Adventure Cycling Association. He covered a wide range of mechanical topics, oriented toward the needs of the bicycle tourists with the Adventure Cycling Association serves. All of these articles are online, and we now have a convenient table of contents for them on our site.
Another in Italian
Salvatore Celi has also translated Sheldon’s article on Shimano Dura-Ace components into Italian, http://avvsavv.blogspot.it/2013/07/sheldon-brown-shimano-dura-ace.html
Translations…
There are now translations of the Cables and Cranks articles into Slovak, thanks to translator Juraj Peressényi.
Our Teaching Kids to Ride page is availble in Belarusian.
There are three articles in Chinese thanks to Phil Feng, and numerous articles in French, German, Russian; a couple in Spanish and Czech.
Harriet has revised the Translations table of contents page, which was becoming unwieldy in its earlier format.
If you can read English but your native language is another, we welcome translations. Please see our translations page for further information.
On-Road Repairs
John has added a new article about on-road repairs and the on-road toolkit.
Major update to video software article
John has updated his article about video editing software to cover a new product, Pinnacle Studio 16 Ultimate. This version is based on Avid Studio, also covered in the article, and is very different from Pinnacle Studio versions 15 and earlier.
It’s been five years…
February 4, 2013 marks the 5th anniversary of the passing of Sheldon Brown, founder of sheldonbrown.com and still the author of most material on the site.
As a friend of Sheldon’s once said, “After they made him, they threw away the mold.” He was unique in his knowledge of bicycles, his ability to put that information clearly into writing, his willingness to share, and his sense of humor.
We mourn his loss, and miss him.
We continue to do our best to expand and update the site, though we regret that we can never match his style!
