Derailleur Optimization
oder direkt bei Lindarets
Wolf Tooth Components has introduced a lot of interesting products, but many of them owe credit to Lindarets. Gizmos like the Roadlink and the Tanpan allow drivetrains to play nice with bigger gearing or different derailleurs, and the two companies have worked together with Lindarets doing a lot of the design, and WTC managing the production.
Now, in an effort to add even more clever products to the menu, Wolf Tooth Components has licensed the entire Lindarets catalog. For consumers that means that means that Lindarets founder Marc Basiliere will be able focus more on the design of new products while WTC will handle the production and distribution, making the products even easier to access. After the current batch of product runs through, the Lindarets Goat will give way to the WTC Wolf Head as current Lindarets products are rebranded.
Full details from Lindarets, next…
Albuquerque, New Mexico — Lindarets, LLC, of Albuquerque New Mexico has licensed its catalog of problem-solving and performance-enhancing bicycle parts and accessories to Minnesota’s Wolf Tooth Components.
Already partners on the GoatLink, RoadLink, and Tanpan drivetrain products, Wolf Tooth and Lindarets share a love for cycling, an emphasis on top-quality construction, and a dedication to US production. The addition of current and future Lindarets-designed products to its existing offerings will allow Wolf Tooth to expand the range of high-quality parts and accessories offered to its customers, shops, and distributors.
“I am excited by the possibilities that this deal presents,” says Lindarets founder Marc Basiliere, “Wolf Tooth’s extensive dealer and distributor network and strong customer service will make our products more accessible than ever before while allowing Lindarets to focus on the product development work that drives us.”
“After several very successful and enjoyable collaborations, Wolf Tooth was looking at ways to get Marc more involved in our product development,” says Brendan Moore Co-Owner of Wolf Tooth. “This scenario where Wolf Tooth and Lindarets co-develop products and they are Wolf Tooth products was the perfect solution for both companies to achieve their goals.”
Since the company’s launch in early 2015, Lindarets has brought nearly twenty products to market including: the ReMount series, which improves dropper post remote ergonomics; the GoatLink, RoadLink, and Tanpan, which improve the performance of wide-range drivetrains on- and off-road; and the Boostinator series, which allow the use of a customer’s existing wheels with newer Boost-standard frames and forks.
“While we’ll miss seeing our goat logo in the wild, we look forward to having the time and resources to bring more and bigger ideas to market,” says Basiliere, “allowing Lindarets to grow into the outdoor-oriented design firm we have long envisioned.”
The two companies expect a number of present Lindarets products to be produced alongside the Tanpan at Wolf Tooth’s new Savage, Minnesota facility. Over the coming month, current Lindarets offerings will be re-branded as Wolf Tooth products, becoming available exclusively through Wolf Tooth dealers, distributors, and atwolftoothcomponents.com.

CIÖCC. Hannes.
Heute kam erst einmal ein langer Aufbau für und mit Hannes zum Abschluss. Na ja, so richtig werden die Dinger ja nie fertig ehrlich gesagt. Aber sein CIÖCC ist nun fahrbar, funktioniert fast perfekt und kann seiner Rolle als Pendel/Touren/Regenrad gerecht werden.
Mit Hannes schraube ich gerne zusammen, weil er ebenso wie ich sehr detailverliebt und überlegt ist und uns gemeinsam beim schrauben immer wieder gute, neue Ideen kommen. Außerdem stehen hinter Hannes seine „Metaller“, also Menschen an seinem Arbeitsplatz, die uns zur Hilfe eilen können – wie auch hier bei diesem CIÖCC.
Wir wollten zusammen etwas bauen, was sich ähnlich schnell wie ein Rennrad, sich bei jedem Wetter und bei Tag und bei Nacht fahren lässt und mit dem man auch einmal länger auf Tour gehen könnte. Im Prinzip also sehr ähnlich wie mein Panasonic FRC37 von 2014, das ich mittlerweile wieder auseinander genommen und größtenteils verkauft habe. Einige Teile von dem Panasonic finden sich nun an dem CIÖCCwieder.
Den Rahmen habe ich mehr oder minder bei Ebay UK zufällig erstanden als ich einen (wie ich fand) sehr niedrigen Preisvorschlag bei einem Verkäufer einreichte und der wohl doch zu hoch war – zum Glück mochte Hannes den Rahmen auf Anhieb.
Auch das Vorderrad kommt nicht von ungefähr – das hatten Hannes und ich letzten Winter aufgebaut mit einem Shutter Precision Nabendynamo und einer Mavic Open Pro Felge. Eigentlich sollte es in seinem Rennrad Dienst tun, aber fest verbaut im CIÖCC passt es zusammen mit der festmontierten B&M Lampe viel besser.
Shutter Precision Nabendynamo – die bessere Alternative zu SON und Shimano
Für Touren ist der Velo Orange Randonneur Lenker gut geeignet. Wir haben lange gemessen und eingestellt, aber jetzt sind wir relativ sicher, dass die Fahrposition nun eine bequeme ist.
Campagnolo Ergopower Athena 8-fach Hebel – sehr hoch montiert macht die Position entspannter.

Der Antrieb ist übrigens überwiegend Campagnolo. Athena 8-fach Ergos, Athena Umwerfer, Athena Compact Power Torque 11-fach Kurbel 172,5mm 50/34Z, Campagnolo Record RD-31RE Umwerfer und dazu eine 8-fach Kassette 13-28.
Die 14er Inbusschraube ist nur deswegen so groß auf der hinteren Seite, damit man durch die Kurbelachse schauen kann.
Ganz schwach steht auf dem Schaltwerk Campagnolo geschrieben, das kann man nur leider auf dem Foto nicht mehr sehen.
Bei den Bremsen mussten wir überraschenderweise auf sehr, sehr lange Tektros ausweichen, selbst die sehr langen passten nicht.
Tektro Bremse hinten – und die Sattelstütze wird getauscht.
Tektro Bremse vorne. Kürzeres Schenkelmass notwenig, aber immer noch zu lang.
Schutzbleche anzubringen ist eine wahnsinnige Frickelei – eigentlich immer. Und wenn man die Dinger dann dran hat, dann haben die ja nur eine Funktion wenn es regnet, sonst hängen die einfach nur im Rahmen rum. Irgendwie unbefriedigend. Beim CIÖCC hätten wir das auch nicht gut hinbekommen, wenn uns nicht die Metaller mit einer Lasche geholfen hätten.
Lasche rechts, links 14er Inbusschraube.
Ist es ein guter Aufbau geworden? Wird er seine Funktion erfüllen? Das müssen Hannes und sein CIÖCC jetzt erst einmal über einen längeren Zeitraum selber herausfinden.

Spectator saves the day for unlucky Gila racer

Published May. 5, 2016
So what happens when the team car isn’t there, and a racer can’t get a spare bike after a crash? Zack Allison found himself in that unenviable position on Wednesday, four kilometers from the finish of stage 1 at the Tour of the Gila.
“I took my shoes off and shouldered the bike and walked for about 500 meters in sock feet and realized it was a real long way to finish, and my situation sucked really bad,” the Elevate Pro Cycling rider said.
And then, help arrived. It wasn’t a team car, or a teammate with a similarly sized Giant bike. Instead, it was a local fan and his old Specialized Stumpjumper mountain bike. “He had ridden to the finish from the bottom, or maybe his house, on his old Stumpy,” Allison said. “I’m not really sure the year, but it had five speeds and a triple. He saw the finish and was making his way back down. I flagged him down, told him my bike is broken, asked if he was open to it, if I could ride his bike to the finish, then bring it back down. He actually said, ‘I would be honored,’ which was a good sign.”
The 26-year-old Coloradan put his head down and rode tempo up the final hill, passing a couple stragglers and drawing cheers and laughter from racers who were heading down the Mogollon climb after finishing.
“As I was going up the climb at first I had no reservations and didn’t really think it a big deal. As riders started coming down to their team cars and were cracking up or cheering, I started to realize that it was a pretty unique situation.
“Nothing like that has ever happened to me. I’ve had mechanicals and bike changes but never been out of neutral support and out of ideas on literally how to not have to abandon. Lucky this guy was around. I did not get his name, but now he has a bike that has finished the first stage of the pro race at Gila.”

Die Radmütze. Richtig.
Nach Ansicht von Cycling Tips.
For us cyclists, the humble cycling cap is our crown. It is part of our unique look and it plays a crucial role on those days of low sun in spring and autumn, shielding our eyes from sun and rain, and keeping our head warm.
We have fond memories of riders past donning cycling caps with panache, wearing them high on their heads with pride. But as helmets became mandatory and cycling grew to reach a wider audience, the podium cap was replaced with a baseball hat.
But now, through the voice of a new generation, a trend towards #capsnothats has emerged and cyclists are once again putting proper cycling caps back on their heads.
However, with this trend has come a wave of cyclists who insist on wearing the cycling cap all wrong. We thought we’d take it upon ourselves to offer some useful tips.
Before we start, here are a couple of things you should know. First, a cycling cap is this:
Not this (sorry Ian):
Second, “luft” is a German word for “air” or “space”. Many a debate has been had in cafés around the world about how this word made its way into cycling culture. As you’ll see below, luft is all important when positioning the cap appropriately.
Without further ado, here are some tips on how to wear a cycling cap properly:
1. Cycling caps should only be worn with cycling kit. An exception can be made at cycling events when not in kit. For some reason, this quirky garment seems to bind us together.
2. A cycling cap should only be worn on the bike when arm warmers and a vest (or long-sleeve jersey) are in use. In this case a cap completes the Spring Classics look. Wearing a cap when it’s a scorcher outside might shield your balding head from the sun or keep the sweat from dripping into your eyes, but in typical cyclist fashion we’ll take style over practicality here any day. (It’s much better to keep a cap in your pocket on these days and bring it out at the café sans helmet.)
3. While wearing a cap with the brim flipped is acceptable and indeed often recommended, it takes many years of wearing a cap before you can get this look right.If in doubt, don’t attempt this one straight away. See the image of Roger De Vlaeminck in his Brooklyn cap above to see how it’s done.
4. Make sure your cap is straight. Many caps have a ribbon down the centre to help you out. You’ll just look silly if this ribbon is worn off-centre.
5. When wearing a cap at the café, it’s essential to obtain the right amount of luft. Too high on the head and your cap is likely to blow off and ruin someone’s meal; too low and blood flow will be restricted, reducing your chances of an intellectual post-ride coffee debate. As a rule of thumb, the amount of luft should be proportional to your brow size.
6. A cap should never be worn backwards on the bike. And as with a flipped brim, a backwards cap worn off the bike takes a certain personality to pull off. Note: When attempting the backwards look off the bike, be sure to flip the brim.
Lastly, wear your cycling cap with pride and wear it high. Use these tips as a guide and you’ll be the toast of your local café in no time. And if you’re in need of a cycling cap, we’ve got a great selection in the CyclingTips Emporium to get you started.
