Technical articles |
Whether the rolling reistance of tires, the importance of frame flex, the handling associated with different frame geometries, or the power consumption of generator hubs – Bicycle Quarterly brings you tests with reliable data, designed by scientists, rather than marketing hype. What will make you faster: a pound off your bike or lowering your stem 5 mm? You will find answers in Bicycle Quarterly. Here are two sample articles: • A comparison test of hub generator efficiency (pdf format). • An equipment survey of riders in Paris-Brest-Paris 2007 (pdf format). |
