Our UltraSonic and UltraSphere use straight pull Sapim bladed spokes and DT ProLock nipples. The SuperSonic and SuperSphere wheels use straight pull butted DT spokes and DT Prolock nipples. Please refer to the chart for spoke length and tension. Since changing a broken spoke may require partial hub disassembly, we recommend that your local bike shop preform this service. Warning: never try to straighten a J-bend spoke as a substitute for a straight pull spoke.

The 26-inch (559 mm) rear wheel and 20-inch (406 mm) front wheel combination is the most popular. Reasons for using other sizes would be more performance (650c or 700c), lowering of the seat (combos using 20- and 16-inch wheels), or making a bike more compact (20/16 combos). Small wheels don't perform as well, wear more quickly, and have less gyroscopic inertia than their larger counterparts. Small rims and tire sizes can be more difficult to find.

This is one area of concern that is sometimes made to be more of an issue than it needs to be. The old homemade grease mixture of lard and tar concoction, to the production axle grease, doubtfully compares to the quality of greases we have available today. The open boxing style wheels do require constant maintenance, but using a quality wheel bearing grease is, in my opinion, still far superior to what was available back when.

It is mandatory for you to have a set of bigfoots or similar functional tyre plus a spare tube & tyre because we expect to see a few punctures. It is advisable to take some measures to reduce punctures such as lining the inside the wheel with some sort of insulating material or use some commercial available product to stop leeks.

The rear wheel features brass nipples on the drive side and alloy nipples on the non-drive side. Alloy nipples are lighter than brass, so we use alloy everywhere we prudently believe them to work best. We use brass nipples on the drive side of the rear wheel because skill levels of mechanics vary. When high tension is involved, it's generally easier to true a wheel that is built with brass nipples.

We carefully considered using bladed spokes, but decided against it. In wind tunnel tests, bladed (and ovalized - hereafter "profiled") spokes have proven to be very effective. The caveat here is that they show their greatest advantages vis-a-vis round spokes when the airflow is from straight ahead.

Wheels and tires must be matched. The wheel will have a label stating it's rim diameter, width and contour. The tire selected must be approved by the Tire and Rim Association for use on that particular size wheel. The tire capacity selected should not exceed the capacity rating of the wheel. The tire inflation pressure must not exceed the pressure rating of the wheel.

We highly recommend Cycle Care Formula 5 . You should receive a sample in your box if not it can be purchased at fine dealers everywhere. Visit them at www.cyclecare.com or 1-800-728-7800 . They make specialized polish for motorcycles. Then chrome them. Many of our customers buy our wheel and have them chromed. We just don’t sell them that way.

We developed and tested the Topolino road clinchers for the use most of our customers are looking for, which is single road bike riding on pavement. Sorry, we cannot recommend other uses at this time.

If your nipples are sore beyond the first few days, chances are your baby is not positioned correctly on your breast. His mouth should be opened wide, with as much of your breast in his mouth as possible. Your nipple should stay in the back of this throat. His nose and chin should be touching your breast, and his chest resting square against yours. "Chin to breast, and chest to chest." Sometimes, a slightly turned-in lip can cause soreness.

Wheel offset is the distance from the mounting surface to the centerline of the tire. Dexter Axle bearing sets are designed for wheel with 0 to ?" inset. Exceeding this offset will shorten bearing life and may lead to dangerous bearing failure.

The normal 5 bolt pattern for most Porsche cars is 5 x 128mm. The 4-bolt cars use a 4 x 108mm pattern. More info on wheel offsets and sizes can be found in the Technical Section. Here is a list of other (non-Porsche) cars which use the same 4x108mm pattern (from http://www.mr2.com/TEXT/WheelBoltPatterns.txt). However, wheel offsets are likely not exactly what is needed for the 924, so exercise caution.

In areas where there is a likelihood that stresses or impact abuse will occur, a metal nipple is recommended. Such applications as tub fillers, showerheads, and outside sillcocks are examples. However, CPVC stub-outs for closets, lavatories, and sinks are appropriate.

The BST wheels come with a 5 bolt hole sprocket carrier - the PCD of the 5 holes is 100mm and the ID is 76mm.

Some women specific design bicycles use 26 (650) wheels front and rear, but we use 24 in the front and 700C in the rear. A 26 ...

One reader reports that he is using 15" wheels from a postal jeep, but others report that stock 15" wheels won't fit over the 11" brake drums. (Ref. The CJ3B Page.)

Four wheeled luggage provides stability unsurpassed by any two wheelers. It won't tip and it acts as a luggage cart and portable seat!

If you have a very efficient filtration system that can maintain pristine water quality, you can keep more fish.

You must use sufficient Vaseline for lubrication or it will sting. Coat the suppository and add a dollop to the tip as well.
