Big city cyclists need big city protection, as would-be thieves aren't intimidated by flimsy cables or weak U-locks. That's why serious cyclists turn to Kryptonite for their security needs. The Evolution Series 4 U-lock is a cut above other bike locks, with a 14mm hardened Max-Performance steel shackle designed to resist both cutters and leverage attacks. Ideal for anyone who lives in moderate to high crime areas, the Series 4 received a 9 on the Kryptonite 1-12 lock comparison system, which ranks the varying levels of security offered by the company's product range. A lock that ranks 1 on the Kryptonite scale might work if you live in the burbs and have a Rottweiler parked next to your bike or motorcycle. A lock that ranks 12, however, is built for maximum deterrence. The Series 4 also offers such security-enhancing features as a double deadbolt locking mechanism for extensive holding power; a disc-style cylinder with more than one million key variations; a reinforced anti-drill/pull cylinder protection system; and a center key location with a dual overhead cam locking mechanism that defends against leverage attacks. The Series 4 is about more than just security, however, with a sliding dustcover that protects and extends cylinder life, anti-rattle bumpers that reduce noise during transport, and versatile EZ mount transportation bracket. And as a bonus, the lock comes with three keys, one of which is lighted with a high-intensity bulb that makes it easy to unlock the Series 4 after dark. The lock measures 4 by 9 inches. The Legendary Durability of Kryptonite Locks The first big test for Kryptonite locks came in 1972, when Kryptonite founder Michael Zane directed the Second Avenue Bicycle Shop in New York City to lock a three-speed bicycle to a signpost in Greenwich Village. Although thieves immediately stripped all of the bicycle's removable parts, the bicycle itself remained for 30 days and 30 nights. The publicity gave Kryptonite the boost it needed and forever changed the face of bicycle security. Twenty-two years later, Kryptonite returned to the streets of the Big Apple to test its latest innovation, the New York lock. In April 1994, the New York Post laid down the ultimate challenge: Could Kryptonite's New York lock last 48 hours on the toughest streets of New York? In a city where more than 100,000 bikes are stolen each year, Kryptonite and the Post locked a brand new, bright green Univega road bike worth $600 to a parking meter in the East Village--the Bermuda Triangle of New York bicycle thievery. For a full 48 hours, the bike remained locked on the corner of Avenue A and 11th Street. Zane and Neil McDaid, director of product development and design for Kryptonite, watched from around the corner as the bike came under every possible means of assault, stumping thieves at every turn. After 48 hours the bike remained intact except for the gear derailleur, which had been stripped off. The lock showed definite signs of abuse, but it had not failed. The New York lock had met the Post's challenge. Not satisfied with the length of the test, Zane moved the bike to SoHo for another six days and, finally, uptown near the Lincoln Center. Even in these high-theft areas the properly locked bike lasted another three weeks before being pulled off the streets by Zane and McDaid. The Post also ran the New York lock through a battery of street tests using common bike theft tools: a 4-foot bolt cutter, a crowbar, and a hammer. The non-Kryptonite locks cracked in seconds, but all methods failed on the New York lock, even the monstrous bolt cutter, which was rendered useless with large dents in its jaws. About Kryptonite In the early 1970s, Michael Zane was a free-spirited, bearded kid with a VW van and a big idea for a new kind of lock. He traveled thousands of miles showing the unique U-shaped locking device and spreading his passion for bicycle security to bike dealers all around the country and forged lifetime relationships. The company soon expanded its product line to include power sports, hardware, and snow sports security. Through innovative product designs, cutting-edge marketing savvy, legendary customer service, and pure fanaticism for security, Kryptonite grew with a cult-like following. In 2001, the company that was started in a VW van was purchased by industry giant Ingersoll Rand and became a flagship brand in the company's Security Technologies sector. Publications such as Bicycling, Fortune, The Wall Street Journal, US News & World Report, and a host of others continued to tout Kryptonite products as the best on the market. The company's dedication to its customers is best represented by its actions during the fall of 2004, when it was discovered that the industry-standard tubular cylinder could be compromised, at times, with a household item. Kryptonite flew into action, created a voluntary lock exchange program, and replaced more than 400,000 locks in 21 countries for free. In essence, the company redesigned the equivalent of nine years worth of new products in just 10 short months. Kryptonite is the only company in the world that offered such a comprehensive plan to customers, taking its "legendary customer service" pledge to new heights.

Bicycle Sprocket Bike

Mountain bike tires and what they are made to do, basically, is allow a rider of a bike to take on the roughest of trails and environments that a person riding a well-built mountain-bike might envision taking on. These tires are much different looking in terms of tread, weight and width than classic road bike tires and they aren't interchangeable with a road bike wheel and tire set.

Really, the two bicycles (road bike and mountain bike) are similar only in that they are two-wheeled bicycles. After that, their missions diverge and they are ridden using different styles and for different purposes. Practically everyone of a certain age can remember growing up with a so-called "10 speed" bicycle with two chain rings up front and five cogs, or sprockets, in the back.

A mountain bike, though, is a far sturdier-looking machine, and may have as many as three chain rings up front and 10 cogs or sprockets in the back. This extreme gearing is what helps to enable a cyclist riding such a bike to get up and then down any number of very steep and very technically difficult mountain trails. That environment is completely unwelcoming to a typical road bike.

Road bikes are still popular these days but the number of mountain bikes -- many of which are never even put onto a classic mountain-bike trail or even ridden off-road -- are far greater around the country. This is because a mountain bike, even with its typical fat, knobby mountain bike tires, can be ridden on the road or on the trail.

This is what distinguishes such a bike from a road bike, which is completely unable to be ridden with any confidence on mountain-bike trails or technical singletrack. In fact, it would be a very foolish road cyclist indeed who attempted to go out for a ride on the trails using his very light and very unsuited-to-the-trails road bike. Mountain bikes are able to handle such environments with relative ease.

Part of what gives the mountain-bike its ability to climb like a mountain goat and descend like that same goat are a good set of mountain bike tires. Most quality tires that go onto mountain-bike wheels are made of better quality rubber, have a number of layers -- or plies -- and also have treads that can resemble what one might see on a monster truck or a serious 4x4.

These kinds of tires are usually more flat-resistant than road bike tires, most of which are fairly easily penetrated by pieces of glass or other items on the road. Mountain bike tires are able to power through sharp rocks, severe dips and drop-offs on the trail and come out the other end still inflated and ready to take more abuse. This is as long as they are properly inflated, so keep that in mind.

Remember that road bikes belong on the road -- and shouldn't be ridden on the trails -- but that mountain bikes can be ridden on the roads and generally rule the trails. And while a mountain bike might not be the most efficient type of bicycle to pedal on the road it can still do it, which is actually where most people who buy mountain bikes really usually ride them.

Mountain bike tires are made allow a rider of a mountain bike to take on the roughest of trails and environments. It is however important to fit the perfect tyres such as mtb tires. More info now on http://mtb-tires.com/category/mountain-bikes-tips-and-tricks/.

Bicycle Maintenance In A Nutshell

If you love cycling, then there is no doubt that you understand the importance of maintaining your bike. Take for example a motorbike, improper maintenance will lead to poor performance. You may use extra gas or you would be spending more money to fix something that could have easily been prevented with regular maintenance.

 

A bicycle is powered by its rider and an ill maintained bike will require additional effort from the rider to achieve the same level of performance that another person riding a well maintained bike may achieve with very little effort. If you ride an ill maintained bike, you will have to put in a lot of effort to keep your bike moving. If you do not want to waste your energy when biking, make it a point to have it regularly maintained.

 

The first rule of bike maintenance is that it must be done regularly.  There is no point in conducting maintenance activities randomly. Make it a point to service and maintain your bike at least once a month. If your bicycle travels a large number of miles in a day, then you may want to carry out mini maintenance activities once a week. Always keep in mind that a bicycle is totally dependent on physical contact amongst its various parts. In such a scenario, having a bike with an improperly fitted sprocket or chain can significantly bring down the quality of not just the ride but also the total distance traveled.

 

Further, keep in mind that bike maintenance is not as easy as it seems. There are many bike owners who maintain their bike themselves.  However, if you do not know anything about bikes and their maintenance, it is best to get your bike serviced by a professional until you get the hang of it. A bicycle's mechanism operates perfectly only when there is a perfect balance between its various parts. If you take away this balance, performance of your bike shall go down.

 

What should you check when servicing your bike?

 

The first and most obvious thing to do is to check the air pressure of your tires. What is the point of having a well maintained bike if there is insufficient air in your tire?

Secondly, make it a point to ensure all moving parts are properly oiled. The chain will not to move along the sprocket and the cog well if it is not properly oiled. Lubrication will keep the bike moving smoothly.

 

Thirdly, you should check the brake and determine whether it needs to be replaced. People often make the mistake of thinking that bikes cannot travel fast. You certainly do not want to be on a bike that does not have solid enough brakes that can bring it to a halt without any delay.

 

If your bicycle has a light, then you should ensure it is properly charged and working. A bicycle on a dark road is a risk for the rider as well as for others on the road.

How do you work this problem?

A bicycle chain is wrapped around a rear sprocket (r = 0.034 m) and a front sprocket (r = 0.11 m). The chain moves with a speed of 1.3 m/s around the sprockets, while the bike moves at a constant velocity. Find the magnitude of the acceleration of a chain link that is in contact with each of the following.

(a) the rear sprocket
m/s2
(b) neither sprocket
m/s2
(c) the front sprocket
m/s2
If you think this is a multiple choice question, then please don't respond.

a) Acceleration of rear sprocket
a=v^2/r
a=(1.3)^2/0.034
a=49.705 m/s^2

b) Acceleration of the chain is 0m/s^2 since the
bike has constant velocity

a=(vf-vi)/t

c) Acceleration of front sprocket
a=v^2/r
a=(1.3)^2/0.11
a=15.36 m/s^2

Breaking Midstate News with The Patriot-News headlines
Harrisburg police are urging bicycle owners to take steps to help police recover stolen bicycles following a rash of bike thefts this summer. Since the beginning of June, over a dozen bicycles, mostly high-end, expensive models, have been reported stolen in the city, police said.
