Suspension experts may not agree on all things but one common thread they do find is the importance of properly setting suspension race sag before every ride. In order for the suspension to work correctly and use its entire range of motion, the race sag must be set to the correct specification. We want to show you a couple tools that will help you set your race sag effectively and save you time and frustration each time you ride.
The archaic shade tree method of setting race sag is to grab a hammer and chisel from your tool box. With hammer and chisel in hand, beat the top spanner nut loose. Proceed to either tighten or loosen the lower spanner nut with even more jarring, pounding, and chiseling. You paid how much for your new bike? And you want to take a hammer and chisel to it? There has go to be a better way...
Merge Racing Technologies has come up with a road racing inspired component that allows you to adjust your race sag on the fly with nothing more than an 8mm T-handle. The Merge Racing Technologies HPL (Hydraulic Pre-Load) replaces the bottom spanner nut on your motocross shock and offers an easy on-the-fly adjustment of this vital suspension setting. Merge Racing offers this in 3 applications to fit Kayaba, Showa, and WP shocks. The HPL retails for $225 which may seem like a lot, but if you're a serious rider it'll make up for the money you spent in additional track-time.

So now you have a quick and easy way to adjust your race sag. But how do you ensure an accurate measurement? Again, I will describe the shade tree method. Place your bike on the stand and measure from a point on the rear fender to the center of the axle bolt. Record this measurement. Next, round up your best friend or girlfriend. Sit on the bike and try to balance while your friend tries to measure from the same point you did while trying to ready your Dad's rusty tape measure.
Enter the ASV Inventions Solo Sag Scale which allows you to measure your suspension sag by yourself. One end plugs into your axle while the other mounts to your rear fender while the bike is on the stand.
1. Remove the bike from the stand.
2. Sit on the bike.
3. Push down the red slider.
4. Put the bike back on the stand.
5. Read the measurement and adjust, repeat to achieve desired spec.
The ASV Inventions Solo Sag Scale is sure to save time and frustration. Constructed of CNC machined 6061 Aluminum and laser etched readings this is truly a quality tool. Coupled with a 5 year "Unconditional" Guarantee you know that your $125 is well spent.

About Fulcrum
Toyota has Scion, Honda has Acura, Nissan has Infiniti, and Campagnolo has Fulcrum. That's right folks, Fulcrum is a division of Campy. Why? Why not! If you had a cycling company and you knew how to make a superior set of wheels, but you also knew the riders were playing matchy match with their components most likely wouldn't put Campy wheels on a primarily Shimano bike, wouldn't you make a new company? We would! So if you were wondering how Fulcrum came up from nowhere and got worldwide attention on the pro circuit, it's because Campy used their connections to get up and running, and into the heat of the race. Yes sir, that's why the 2004 and 2005 pro teams actually used the Fulcrum wheels without years of being on the market. Pretty smart move if you ask us.
The launch of Fulcrum in July of 2004 was a testimony of passion for the sport of cycling. At the front of the company were three aerospace engineers who had applied their specialized knowledge of aerospace technology to the advancement of their favorite sport. Since the beginning, Fulcrum Wheels have proven their superiority on the road. They are designed and developed with underlying elements of Campagnolo, technological advancements of the aerospace industry and they have a pleasantly youthful Fulcrum twist.
With revolutionary concepts in wheel development and design, Fulcrum Wheels boast a perfectly balance wheel. To get that perfect balance they have patents! That's why there are trademarks all over this article. Fulcrum was big on trademarks and patents like Dynamic BalanceTM, 2:1 Two-to-oneTM, and the MoMagTM system.
When you push your pedals, the rotational force on the sprocket produces slack in the freewheel spokes and a loss of rim tension. This results in unwanted flex of the whole wheel and an inevitable loss of energy. Fulcrum has solved this common cycling dilemma with its 2:1 Two-to-OneTM Spoke Ratio system. The 2:1 Two-to-OneTM system supports the Dynamic BalanceTM by doubling the spokes in the critical areas. The Dynamic BalanceTM system boasts flawlessly balanced dynamics of rotation, with the credit given to the careful distribution of the rotating masses. The MoMagTM system supports the other two quite well. It actually stemmed from Campy. The MoMagTM system feeds each nipple into the rim through the valve hole, the process is guided perfectly into place with a magnet. Thus the Mag in the name MoMagTM. These three systems work separately or in conjunction with one another and they are what makes Fulcrum the advanced company that it is today.
Another concept in the design of Fulcrum Wheels are the aluminum hammer head spokes which have a unique aerodynamic profile comprised of a variable truncated-cone cross-section. The rims on the Fulcrum Wheels are CNC machined which help to relieve the rim area of pointless load points. CNC machining allows the wheels to have no spoke holes on the inner groove which eliminates the need for rim tape and provides maximum torsional stiffness. Yeah, these are some serious wheels.
Fulcrum Wheels come in several models. Numbered relatively consecutively, for continuity we suppose. Although you will notice they left out the even numbers. The Racing Zeros are excellent for racing. They provide superior acceleration, are very light, have rockin' aerodynamics and roll like you're riding on air. Plus, they are super sharp looking. The Racing 1's are great for racing as well as daily rides. They are fast, stiff, smooth as well as very compliant and comfortable. They are sure to dramatically improve the handling and look of your bike. As was mentioned earlier, Fulcrum skipped over all the even numbers and went right to the Racing 3's. Racing 3 wheels are intermediate hoops. They are very durable, quiet riding and longer lasting than most wheels on the market. They are also notably faster.
You will notice that you will gain speed quicker and will be able to hold it easily. They are also quite high on the bling scale. For the real heavy duty rides, or for consistent training, go for the Racing 5 model. They are durable, quiet and very long lasting. The Racing 5 Evolution wheels boast the Dynamic Balance system with two, oversized (silver) spokes to offset the rim joint for a perfectly balanced wheel. They are said to be stiff, smooth, true, and durable. They aren't the lightest wheel in the Fulcrum line, but they aren't THAT heavy either. The Racing 7's are more of a beginner's wheel. They are strong, stiff, a decent weight and come in racing red. At the very top of the line are Fulcrum's Racing Light Wheels. These wheels are Fulcrum's version of Campy's Hyperon but without the carbon bodied hugs. The Racing Light's are on a entirely different level and have earned the status as well as the price. They are one of the best all round wheels you will ever ride on. Very fast, very strong and yes, you can climb in a cog or two lower than normal. Phenomenal for climbing but also great on the flats.
All in all, the Fulcrum label has become synonymous with unique patents, constant technological research and eye-catching modern design. They are producing some seriously competitive hoops. Needless to say, Fulcrum is everything you would expect a Campy spawn to be.

Dimensions of bicycle vertical dropouts for 135mm wheel spacing?
I need to design and fabricate (cnc mill) custom dropouts for a bamboo bicycle from a plate of 6061 aluminum, but i do not know any of the industry standards for derailleur hanger locations, or disc brake tab locations relative to the location of the rear axle in the dropout. The bike will be using Avid mechanical disc brakes and a 9spd Shimano Deora derailleur, and the dropouts will have a standard 135mm spacing for the rear wheel. If anyone can help me find a general set of dimensions to go from for the derailleur hanger and disc brake tab locations so that I can fabricate these components and continue my construction, I would be extremely grateful!
Hm.
I don't know of any "standards" for dropouts other than the width of the slot where the axle fits but I do have an idea for you.
Using that dimension as your reference point, go to http://www.kinesis.com.tw and look at their selection of frame ends. Using the reference above you can work out the dimensions of the rest. A good general dropout width is 5mm.
Make sure that the dropouts are treated to T6 condition after machining or they will be too soft to handle the load!
EDIT: After thinking a bit more, you might want to search http://www.shimano.com and look at the tech documents for a Deore (not "Deora") rear derailleur and see if there are any pecularities such as minimum chainstay (distance from center of bottom bracket to center of hanger bolt) length or anything else. Again, I can't think of any but it is better to be safe than sorry. You can also use Shimano info to check placement of your rear disc caliper since it is international standard.
