NEW VIDEO TAPES PUT CYCLISTS NEW AND OLD IN CONTROL
Two videos created by cycling enthusiasts will make bicycle
mechanics and maintenance understandable, even to those not
mechanically-inclined. The tapes have been released by Rolling
Video.
Mountain Bike Anatomy and Road Bike Anatomy have been
created for both experienced and new cyclists. Road veterans
will find the tapes useful as a supplement to technical manuals.
New cyclists will find the technical language and mechanical
concepts of the manuals greatly clarified after watching a
mechanic at work.
"New cyclists and many who have been on the road for a while
have difficulty translating technical manuals into practical
applications," explains Jim Carter, a former bicycle racer and
mechanic, as well as vice president of Rolling Video. "Knowing
how derailleurs should sound, for example, is an important part
of proper adjustment. You can't get that sound from a book."
Carter says that kind of bicycle awareness improves not just
maintenance and longevity of the bicycle but the safety of the
cyclist as well. This basic understanding of bicycle
mechanics is equally important to a cyclist who is not inclined
to work on his or her bike.
These comprehensive video manuals cover the basics -- from
assembly of the new bicycle to maintenance to installation of
accessories. Working on high-quality bicycles, Carter
demonstrates each step in assembly and maintenance, offering tips
not found in the manuals.
Mountain Bike Anatomy covers assembly of the crankset with
clipless pedals, the steering mechanism, cantilever brakes,
thumbshifters, and truing and mounting wheels. Maintenance tips
cover crankarm removal, chain removal, brake and derailleur
adjustment, scheduling maintenance, installing and adjusting
cleats, and bike fit. Tips on upgrading include racks, bags, and
panniers, water bottle cages, frame pumps, and helmet fit.
Road Bike Anatomy covers the assembly of the crankset with
clipless pedals, steering mechanism, side pull brakes, down tube
index shifters, truing and mounting wheels, and mounting tubular
and clincher tires. Maintenance tips include crankarm removal,
chain removal, brake and derailleur adjustments, the maintenance
schedule, cleat adjustment, and bike fit. Upgrading tips include
front and rear racks, bags and panniers, rear pick-up
cyclocomputer, clip-on and full aero bars, and helmet fit.
"The experienced cyclist knows how proper assembly and good
maintenance make cycling, easier, safer, and above all, more
fun," says Carter. "These two videos will make the process a
little more user-friendly."
