Are any of the panel intrigued by Simple Bike Maintenance Guide number 4 (Adjusting your gears and brakes) published online by Cycling UK?

It must be the same bike that Eurosport use in their cut-to-adverts clip during cycling coverage.

In the end I bought the print for S&Gs.…

Some freestyle BMX's have the drivetrain on the left for those who prefer to grind pegs on the right.

You beat me to it, I found those in my searches too, so it seems that left side drivetrains are a bit niche, but they definitely exist.

Designed and built for the USA track cycling team.
Due to the aerodynamics of track racing.

I once built a singlespeeder like that.
