Frame Bag
In bicycling, a frame bag is a bag attached within the main triangle of a bicycle frame. They are used to add luggage capacity to your bike in a low-profile way without impeding on the ability to pedal and to distribute weight across the bike. Frame bags are common on touring bicycles, racing bicycles, and cross country mountain bikes. They're ideal for carrying tools, spare parts, electronics, snacks, and other items that may need to be easily accessed while riding. Frame bags help maintain a bike's center of gravity, improving balance and handling. Frame bags can vary a lot, (2-10 litres) from small wedges designed to carry a few extra items on a ride to bags that completely fill the space within a bike frame's main triangle. They typically have multiple attachment points to all three frame members to keep it stable and in position. For attachment most bags use webbing although some bags and bikes feature braze-on A braze-on is the name for any number of parts of a bicycle th ...

A Bikepacking Bike
A, or a, is the first letter and the first vowel letter of the Latin alphabet, used in the modern English alphabet, and others worldwide. Its name in English is '' a'' (pronounced ), plural ''aes''. It is similar in shape to the Ancient Greek letter alpha, from which it derives. The uppercase version consists of the two slanting sides of a triangle, crossed in the middle by a horizontal bar. The lowercase version is often written in one of two forms: the double-storey and single-storey . The latter is commonly used in handwriting and fonts based on it, especially fonts intended to be read by children, and is also found in italic type. In English, '' a'' is the indefinite article, with the alternative form ''an''. Name In English, the name of the letter is the ''long A'' sound, pronounced . Its name in most other languages matches the letter's pronunciation in open syllables. History The earliest known ancestor of A is ''aleph''—the first letter of the Phoenician ...

Bicycle Frame
A bicycle frame is the main component of a bicycle, onto which wheels and other components are fitted. The modern and most common frame design for an upright bicycle is based on the safety bicycle, and consists of two triangles: a main triangle and a paired rear triangle. This is known as the ''diamond frame''. Frames are required to be strong, stiff and light, which they do by combining different materials and shapes. A frameset consists of the frame and fork of a bicycle and sometimes includes the headset and seat post. Frame builders will often produce the frame and fork together as a paired set. Variations Besides the ubiquitous diamond frame, many different frame types have been developed for the bicycle, several of which are still in common use today. Diamond In the diamond frame, the main "triangle" is not actually a triangle because it consists of four tubes: the head tube, top tube, down tube and seat tube. The rear triangle consists of the seat tube joined by p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Touring Bicycles
A touring bicycle is a bicycle designed or modified to handle bicycle touring. To make the bikes sufficiently robust, comfortable and capable of carrying heavy loads, special features may include a long Bicycle and motorcycle geometry#Wheelbase, wheelbase (for ride comfort and to avoid pedal-to-luggage conflicts), Bicycle frame#Frame materials, frame materials that favor flexibility over rigidity (for ride comfort—though frame flexing can eventually lead to metal fatigue and frame failure, so newer frames are rigid), heavy duty bicycle wheel, wheels (for load capacity), and multiple mounting points (for Luggage carrier, luggage racks, Fender (vehicle)#Bicycles and motorcycles, fenders, and bottle cages). Types Touring bicycle configurations are highly variable and may include road, sport touring, trail, recumbent, or tandem configurations.
