I’ve been thinking about writing one of these for this site but this one’s pretty nice.

Spoke Calculator now available

I finally got back around to working on the spoke calculator some more and now it’s ready for release. It’s got most of the data from the latest version of Spocalc. I had to clean up the Spocalc databases because there was some questionable/confusing information in them. This web application uses the same math as Spocalc and I’ve used them both to build wheels so I feel comfortable sharing it with other people.

I just posted a bottom bracket cheat sheet in the Resources section. It comes courtesy of Michael Webber. Hopefully I’ll have some more of these cheatsheets in the coming months.

Some online tools

Alex Wetmore’s new stem visualizer he posted this morning prompted me to create a new section for online tools.

Welcome

Welcome to what I hope will become a useful repository for bicycle mechanics and riders. My initial plans are to gather up the best online technical articles that I can find and post them to the resources section. Soon my new spoke length calculator will appear and I hope it’s going to supersede to the others that are out there and become a valuable resource for the community.

Please send any feedback you have to james@ this domain and I’ll respond as quickly as I can.
