Y'all this guy is just baiting you to make you feel bad and/or insecure. I don't know if he actually is a bike mechanic or not, but don't get caught up in this little "quiz" of his. He is literally only doing it to "getcha" and to make you feel like you don't know how to be a mechanic. He is rude and I do think we should block him from this list if he won't desist from this behavior as I find it highly unlikely whatever his bike project is fits the definition of a community bike project-- and yes, I am basing that evaluation largely on his attitude.
I called him out but privately and he was v. inappropriate with me in that context as well.
Chris: Your "lesson" is smarmy and unwelcome. I think you need to work on your presentation style if you think these issues are really important to "the industry" (ps: we aren't the industry). As it stands, your delivery is elitist, presumptive, displays a gross lack of understanding of what mechanics "need" (you never did ask that) and is really at odds with the values of this mailing list and community (open source, DIY, mutual aid, mutual respect).

So, in the question of wheel truing, I am wondering why you don't allow for rims becoming deformed. As a learned mechanic you know of the procedures Barnett has for unbending a rim, or you know how to replace a rim or even sell a customer an undamaged wheel to replace the damaged one. Unless you promote that a damage wheel will be just as safe for the cyclist to use as one that is not damaged. As a mechanic: when you sign off that the work is compleated your actions say that the bike is up to standards and safe.A court of law does not recognize ( as safe as it can be) as a legal defination. On your own bike you can work on a bent wheel, On a customers bike, you take on a world of liability if you do not complete a repair to the safest standard, The action of presenting damaged product as safe can harm both you and your business, Your presentation implies that rims maintain perfection except in cases where spoke tension temporarily interferes.
In other words, it's obvious that while some spokes may become loose through repetitive stress, since the web of spokes share a single load, others will become tighter as the rim deforms. Since little can be done in the average shop to re-perfect the bare rim once deformed, the tighter spokes must maintain some amount of increased tension to keep this now-deformed rim true.
I'm not going to present any test that I've developed to "prove" this process, I'm actually posting this response because I find it kind of offensive that you keep posting here essentially as a salesperson. When someone posts to a mailing list to sell a product, to me that constitutes cause to block that person from the mailing list.
If you want to freely share here tutorials and techniques for everyone to review and learn from, in the interest of helping community bike shops hone their skillsets to a higher standard, I'd be the first to get interested. As it is, you never post detailed instructions, and quite frankly a lot of the processes you allude to are bizarrely out of scope with what most of us do on a daily basis. Do you ever tighten a bolt too tightly or without enough clamping force because you do not measure torque? If a bolt broke or slipped would you be liable? Do you like feeling grind in your hubs or see that your cones are pitted in bikes with quick release levers but seldom see cone damaged in bolt on hubs? Do your daily commuter customers complain that there brakes are rubbing and your truing work only lasts for part of a season and not years? Do cyclist ever complain about a click in the pedal area? Are these the bizarrely out of scope ideas you speak of? Your posts smell like bait. They are bait, Designed to get you to think. If you can not come up with an answer then as a group you can either come up with tests or 100% beliefs. The beliefs are dark ages showing its head in 2019. No one is lifted up in knowledge base or skill with belief. My knowledge is for sale, only because it has value, I also see that your community based bicycle organizations have value. You work hard and do great things, I have worked hard and I make great materials. Your moneys are tight and I am willing to greatly discount my work to help make your programs more profitable, improve quality, reduce liability, and more. Nicholas, if you see me as having no value to this group, ban me! If you think I work for free, Bite me! I want to lift up organizations that are open to improving the experience of cyclist and their businesses.

It is funny you mention my friend Sheldon, I was talking with him on the phone about some of these subjects 6 days before he died. He was sick for a long time, but he did not know he was going to die that soon. He loved his opinions on all types of bike subjects, and was surprized by the science and six sigma continuous improvement process that was happening in bike education.

All the points you raise have answers in mechanical engineering and bicycle mechanics. To pick one: the compression of a closed quick release does change the adjustment of hub bearings, easily demonstrated. Various techniques exist to correct the hub bearings adjustment for this. Barnett publishes a technique, a bit fussy, but it works. The technique he demonstrated to me was flawed. I show him the flaw in logic and he dismissed it. He put pressure on the end of an axle on one side of a hub and pressure on the lock nut on the other side of the hub. There is never any pressure on the end of a skewered axle. The clamping force is only on the lock nuts against the dropout surfaces. His test had two variables instead of one. Does the axle compress under quick release loads or do the threads flex. One test will not answer two variables. Two test are needed to test two variables. Yet only one test is valid. Since a QR can never press against the end of an axle and still have clamping force on a lock nut against the dropout, pressing against the end of the axle test is inva lid. John' s testing wanted to find a specific amount that a hub could be adjusted from the standard bench adjustment to the on the bike correction for quick release forces. He came to realize that the variables in axle materials and quick release materials and construction were to great for a unified answer. I solved for his issues and his beliefs dismissed my solution. I demonstrated a perfect adjustment for the added load of a quick release in less than 30 seconds. Once I did six adjustment in 10 seconds. My special tools cost $6 from a frame builder. Special tools do exist, but unnecessary. Most mechanics learn in school or from someone like me, People are asking me for free instruction, is your knowledge free? if not why are you advertising here also? and most develop their preferred method.
Chains don't stretch. At 2000 pound of force chains do stretch, True: on a bike they only wear. Cables do. At 550 pounds of force derailleur cables stretch, but the plastic shift lever mount will fail at 200 pounds of force, at 800 pounds of force brake cables stretch. sadly a rim side wall brake surface will start to fail at 160 pounds of force. Numbers don't lie and are verifiable. (Very different structures.)
Spokes remain elastic. Spoke elbows deform from the original 90 degrees to the best pull angle, effectively making spokes longer once. On aluminum hubs the elbow indents the hub flange hole making the spoke effectively longer once. Neither of these changes the elastic properties of the spoke, but they do make the spoke effectively longer once and drop the tension of the wheel, allowing for greater tension ranges in spokes, creating early fatigue and spoke failure. Also reducing the efficiency of the wheel to accelerate as looser spokes need to be tensioned by the force from the chain before they move the cyclist forward, and the wheel has more side to side movement with looser spokes making control and braking less than optimal.
May I suggest that these complete thoughts are not currently put together cohesively by engineering books which I have intensely studied, or bicycle best practices knowledge bases. or by you.
May I suggest familiarizing yourself with current best practice (rather than the noise that gets written on the web).
I suggest Sharp for the basic mechanical engineering My experiments with the wheel in both practice and with finite element analysis and computational fluid dynamic program ANAYS. have shown insight intto the wheel and how to do wheel work 20 faster for better result. and Barnett for current mechanic best practice. As a BBI certified master tech, I can point out many flaws to Barnett's best practices. From making mechanics less profitable with slow procedures that are not valid in their testing. To just plain bad science understanding.
Get back to me if you have questions after having thoroughly understood those. I am back, Now are you ready to learn? or do you have any ideas of your own that are brilliant. I am all ears

Not a lot of CFD in the bike world. Do you know this as fact or a belief that you hold strongly? And after over a hundred years of engineering, not a lot of need for FEA. In the 1880's to 1890's there was amazing engineering, some material sciences in the 1980's improved friction, ending of the cold war brought advanced materials in the 80's and 90's Sadly as a student of the root causes of problems I have found the engineering in most bicycle systems is lost and strong held beliefs are the replacement.
A couple of examples: A chain has a pull strength of 2000 pounds before it stretches, If you wish to stretch a chain put a car on your back and stand on one pedal. What is the root of chain lengthening, What is the relationship between side to side flex of a chain and shifting quality? Do all new chains that measure the same length have the same side flex? Is there a relationship between chain length and flex. A spoke is made of a magical metal that stretches once and then becomes a harder metal and never stretches again. A spoke can be tightened until it will pull the nipple through the rim because the rim is not as strong as pull force that can be applied by the spoke. So how do rims stretch spokes to become looser in tension during the first 30 days of riding? Derailleur cables are anchored by a threaded fastener on one end and on the other end sits in a plastic seat in the shift lever. The derailleur cable has a pull strength of 500 pounds of pull before it will stretch, the plastic seat will fail before the cable will. How do cables stretch one time then never stretch again when pulled by a weaker plastic component?
Does a quick release lever change the adjustment of a hub? How do you isolate and test your theory? How do you adjust the hub precisely for a combination of a specific axle (mild steel, hardened steel, Titanium, Aluminum, ) and a specific Quick Release material (Steel, Aluminum, Titanium, with or with out plastic components )? How do you precisely adjust a hub for QR forces in less than 20 seconds? If engineering has been done, then it should be easy to answer all these question by looking in books, or on line, or from schools.
Which acts like a fluid on the bicycle? hydraulic brake fluid? a wheel rim? or a chain? A little hint, Brake fluid when contain in a system acts as a solid to transfer forces. Brake fluid outside of a system acts like a fluid.
If you would like to communicate on how CFD with FEA can change the world of cycling I would love to talk, If you believe engineers created cables that stretch once, spokes that stretch once, chains that stretch with human load of less than 2000 pounds, well I will not change your strong belief system.

Good morning, Sorry, no. I once did some programming for FEA and CNC but ages ago, and my IT friends wrangle server farms, databases, and state IT departments.
Take a look at Monster.
Also post a query on one of the CMU boards or Pitt Craigslist.
What are you trying to build? Not a lot of CFD in the bike world. And after over a hundred years of engineering, not a lot of need for FEA.

CiviCRM goes on a server (vps recommended and affordable) then accessed by a web page, fairly easy. Or you buy Civi hosting, but that defeats some of the purpose of using Civi. Civi has considerable power and ability, can connect with ERP, etc but not for IT novice. Easy to install, configure, and maintain if you have experience and comfort with Linux servers, if not, not.
You can certainly hire the Linux talent in SLC, but dependence on outside IT service has inconveniences.
Email me directly if you want to get into details on Civi.

I did mean facing the Bottom Bracket shell or the Stem, Head Tube, and Fork Crown race. Does it make you faster? or Lighter? Tighter tolerances? Wear things less? Make adjustments better? Make adjustments stay longer? Make things last longer? Make things parallel? Make things lock more securely? Why do professional racers do it, but year round cyclist don't? What is the benefit of having it done?
Just because you have a tool, or know of a procedure, do you know why it is a benefit to the cyclist? Any procedure, part or accessory to a bike, Socratic Moment: WHY is service or product of value to the customer?
If you do not know, then it is very hard to sell the service or the product. Many tools and serviced go unused because of our abilities to communicate their value to the customer.

Pacing in a group is a nice community experience. Maintaining a high Cadence is healthy for your body and your bike. Higher pedal spin for the same velocity increases heart rate, increasing blood flow and lubrication to the joints, reduces the pressure in the leg joint surfaces and the connective tissue, reducing wear on the disks and allowing connective tissue to grow in strength at a similar rate to the muscle tissue. The high cadence reduces the load in the drive train, and places the load in bigger cogs transferring the load across a greater surface area and across more teeth reducing wear. Benefiting both your body health and your wallet in reduced repair cost.

It has been brought to my attention that many of you do not like Trumps stance on science. Where his opinion is more valid than Testable, peer reviewed, repeatable science At the same time when opinions about the bicycle are faced with testable, peer reviewed, repeatable science, the science is questioned by members of this list.
Your opinion matters, it is called a hypothesis. Science proves or disproves hypothesis. Once a hypothesis is turned into a test and proved or disproved, then those with descending opinions peer review the results, to confirm or deny the results. If they are not happy they should test their own hypothesis's and have them peer reviewed. An opinion on the matter is called a guess.
I am told your guesses, your opinions, are to be honored and respected more than science based testing. For that I apologize.
Raise a glass to you.

Hey friend, do you have a question about running a non-profit community bike project? Or something to share to that end? Because that is what this list is for.
Please refrain from long, tangential diatribes. We are all keen to maintain this useful, supportive community, but this email exchange is leaving me feeling frustrated and exhausted.
Thank you! Ainsley.

Pacing in a group is a nice

connective tissue, reducing wear
on the disks and allowing connective
tissue to grow in strength at a
similar rate to the muscle tissue. The high
cadence reduces the load in the
drive train, and places the load in bigger
cogs transferring the load across
a greater surface area and across more
teeth reducing wear. Benefiting both your body health

Hey Christopher
Great questions and from a

Have you compiled these ideas
into a resource- manual/ course/ etc?
I'm based in Ireland. I teach

I teach bike mechanics and
repair mainly to adults. With friends we hope to

Can you give more info on what

I will ask a few
questions and I am seeking if you have tests to prove
your answers.
Does a quick release
lever change the adjustment of a hub? Yes or No
is not important, how do
you test to verify your answer is important.
How can this test be used
to reduce service time to 1/20 the time?
What does facing do for
the customers ride experience? Nothing/
Something? The following
answers are guesses, beliefs, not science or
engineering based: it
should be done, it is done at the factory, it
does not need to be done,
eliminates pedal click, professional cyclist
have it done. So what
does it do? how does it improve a cyclist ride
experience? How do you
verify your answer?
How do stainless steel
spokes and cables stretch once and then
magically become harder
and never stretch again? If they do not
stretch once, then how do
they get longer once? How do you verify your
answer?
Do Bolts stretch? Yes or
No, how do you verify your answer?
How does a chain that can
stretch at 900 Kg or 2000 pounds of force
get stretched on a bike
frame that can only support a 160 Kg or 350
lbs cyclist. How can a 45
Kg or 100 pound cyclist put 900 Kg or
2000 Lbs of force into a
chain to stretch it? Without destroying their
knees? How do you verify
your answer?
Which leads to the
question, How does one type of shift lever make a
chain function twice as
long as another type. How do you verify your
answer?
Why do mechanics tighten
and loosen spokes? When a cyclist uses a
wheel spokes get looser.
Spokes only need to be tightened to round,
dish, tension, and true a
wheel. How can finite element analysis and
computational fluid
dynamics help a mechanic work 36 times more
efficiently?
How can understanding the
Sphere Stacking Equation improve the
hydraulic systems on a
bicycle? (Both hydraulic braking and suspension
systems) and make cycling
safer.
How can a mechanic use a
bench as a tool to reduce service time 25%
Would it help your
school, your students, bicycle businesses and
cyclist; if your
curriculum included verifiable testing processes,
efficient practices to
reduce procedure time 25% to 50%, service sale
language to help cyclist
understand what a procedure does to improve
their cycling experience
to improve sales?
If any of this or all of
this is new to you and you would like to
improve your training,
feel free to reach out and start a conversation
telephone only. 773 -490

PS Yes I have re-invented

that! I look forward to
hearing from you.

Excellent. Good episode, everyone. B-list bad guy takes up an unexpected 20 minutes of screen time, things get really bad when he suddenly stumps for Trump (?!), our heroes flounder, and then Godwin comes to the rescue with a deux-ex-machina fix and everything is resolved with hugs and emoji. Good television, would watch again.

It is highly unlikely that any of us here are involved in manufacturing. Relatively few of the organizations listed at bikecolectives.org even repair bikes for customers.
Most community bicycle shops assist the general public by either giving away repaired bikes that they were donated for free, or by helping people in their local communities learn or practice bike repair. Even some of the larger operations I've visited (Portland, Philadelphia) seem to operate for-profit repair and sales as peripheral functions. We are not normal bike shops (LBS) for the most part, Christopher.
I'm entirely interested in sophisticating my technique; at our shop we strive to communicate correct (or relatively correct) techniques for each process and even if the "perfect" method cannot be imparted for whatever reason, it's always good to have that knowledge in my back pocket to calibrate my general understanding of processes, materials, and engineering.
This being said, 90% of what we do involves helping a drunk homeless person fix a flat tire or repack a wheel hub, or a ten year old and their parent fix up an entire bike that's been sitting in their backyard for two years when they have /exactly/ one hour to spend. Or refurbishing the center pull caliper brakes on a college student's bike they inherited from the previous tenant at their apartment, when that college student has very limited interest in the process, being that they are a freshman just having arrived in town from another country, or they are nerve-wracked over finishing their thesis. Sometimes there are gangs of neighborhood hoodlums who probably stolen some or all of the bikes they've brought in, and barely care at all about anything other than "make it go". Having a scientifically proven method for calculating microscopic stretch in a stainless spoke is basically psychologically and practically irrelevant to all of the above populations. And it is irrelevant to our bottom line as an organization. We help people, we provide a welcoming and safe space, and we triage worst case mechanical scenarios.
We on this list work with people as much as bikes, and you can't Six Sigma social work because you can't Six Sigma human life.
Also, I find it odd that as a frothing evangelist of precision methodology, you can't seem to figure out how to properly reply inline, create paragraphs, or orient yourself among a variety of threads. Those are some pretty basic and important skills when interacting with a mailing list.
I don't disparage your salesmanship, and certainly if you have valuable skills, you should be able to get compensation for employing them. But we aren't your employers, and a mailing list is not an acceptable place to sell anything. You might notice that you are the only one who ever appears here to do so. If you want to verify that, you can search here:
http://lists.bikecollectives.org/pipermail/thethinktank-bikecollectives.org/
We all come here to maintain and develop community, to ask and answer questions, and generally to share information. Please do conversationally share tips and techniques here, if they're real someone will benefit from such. Please don't, however, try to sell anything, evangelize, or spread hyperbole. Nobody here has time for that. And a gathering place for largely nonprofit programs is a terrible place to sell things. Many of us have a hard time just keeping the heat bills paid (if we even have heat at all).

So, in the question of wheel truing, I am wondering why you don't allow for rims becoming deformed. As a learned mechanic you know of the procedures Barnett has for unbending a rim, or you know how to replace a rim or even sell a customer an undamaged wheel to replace the damaged one. Unless you promote that a damage wheel will be just as safe for the cyclist to use as one that is not damaged. As a mechanic: when you sign off that the work is compleated your actions say that the bike is up to standards and safe.A court of law does not recognize ( as safe as it can be) as a legal defination. On your own bike you can work on a bent wheel, On a customers bike, you take on a world of liability if you do not complete a repair to the safest standard, The action of presenting damaged product as safe can harm both you and your business, Your presentation implies that rims maintain perfection except in cases where spoke tension temporarily interferes.
In other words, it's obvious that while some spokes may become loose through repetitive stress, since the web of spokes share a single load, others will become tighter as the rim deforms. Since little can be done in the average shop to re-perfect the bare rim once deformed, the tighter spokes must maintain some amount of increased tension to keep this now-deformed rim true.
I'm not going to present any test that I've developed to "prove" this process, I'm actually posting this response because I find it kind of offensive that you keep posting here essentially as a salesperson. When someone posts to a mailing list to sell a product, to me that constitutes cause to block that person from the mailing list.
If you want to freely share here tutorials and techniques for everyone to review and learn from, in the interest of helping community bike shops hone their skillsets to a higher standard, I'd be the first to get interested. As it is, you never post detailed instructions, and quite frankly a lot of the processes you allude to are bizarrely out of scope with what most of us do on a daily basis. Do you ever tighten a bolt too tightly or without enough clamping force because you do not measure torque? If a bolt broke or slipped would you be liable? Do you like feeling grind in your hubs or see that your cones are pitted in bikes with quick release levers but seldom see cone damaged in bolt on hubs? Do your daily commuter customers complain that there brakes are rubbing and your truing work only lasts for part of a season and not years? Do cyclist ever complain about a click in the pedal area? Are these the bizarrely out of scope ideas you speak of? Your posts smell like bait. They are bait, Designed to get you to think. If you can not come up with an answer then as a group you can either come up with tests or 100% beliefs. The beliefs are dark ages showing its head in 2019. No one is lifted up in knowledge base or skill with belief. My knowledge is for sale, only because it has value, I also see that your community based bicycle organizations have value. You work hard and do great things, I have worked hard and I make great materials. Your moneys are tight and I am willing to greatly discount my work to help make your programs more profitable, improve quality, reduce liability, and more. Nicholas, if you see me as having no value to this group, ban me! If you think I work for free, Bite me! I want to lift up organizations that are open to improving the experience of cyclist and their businesses.
I'm personally requesting that you reconsider posting here. In this particular case, you even tacked your message onto a completely unrelated thread. I mean, might be I'm actually talking to a spam bot. Ok I am a bot, you caught me cyclista Nicholas

I will ask a few questions and I am seeking if you have tests to
prove
your answers.
Does a quick release lever change the adjustment of a hub? Yes or No is not important, how do you test to verify your answer is
important.
How can this test be used to reduce service time to 1/20 the time?
What does facing do for the customers ride experience? Nothing/ Something? The following answers are guesses, beliefs, not science
or
engineering based: it should be done, it is done at the factory, it does not need to be done, eliminates pedal click, professional
cyclist
have it done. So what does it do? how does it improve a cyclist ride experience? How do you verify your answer?
How do stainless steel spokes and cables stretch once and then magically become harder and never stretch again? If they do not stretch once, then how do they get longer once? How do you verify
your
answer?
Do Bolts stretch? Yes or No, how do you verify your answer?
How does a chain that can stretch at 900 Kg or 2000 pounds of force get stretched on a bike frame that can only support a 160 Kg or 350 lbs cyclist. How can a 45 Kg or 100 pound cyclist put 900 Kg or 2000 Lbs of force into a chain to stretch it? Without destroying
their
knees? How do you verify your answer? Which leads to the question, How does one type of shift lever make a chain function twice as long as another type. How do you verify your answer?
Why do mechanics tighten and loosen spokes? When a cyclist uses a wheel spokes get looser. Spokes only need to be tightened to round, dish, tension, and true a wheel. How can finite element analysis and computational fluid dynamics help a mechanic work 36 times more efficiently?
How can understanding the Sphere Stacking Equation improve the hydraulic systems on a bicycle? (Both hydraulic braking and
suspension
systems) and make cycling safer.
How can a mechanic use a bench as a tool to reduce service time 25%
Would it help your school, your students, bicycle businesses and cyclist; if your curriculum included verifiable testing processes, efficient practices to reduce procedure time 25% to 50%, service
sale
language to help cyclist understand what a procedure does to improve their cycling experience to improve sales?
If any of this or all of this is new to you and you would like to improve your training, feel free to reach out and start a
conversation
telephone only. 773 -490 -0683 Christopher O. Wallace . I am located in Chicago Illinois.
PS Yes I have re-invented the wheel three different ways, I am looking
to
improve the cycling industry and I feel schools are the best way to
do
that! I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely Christopher O, Wallace

Excellent. Good episode, everyone. B-list bad guy takes up an unexpected 20 minutes of screen time, things get really bad when he suddenly stumps for Trump (?!), our heroes flounder, and then Godwin comes to the rescue with a deux-ex-machina fix and everything is resolved with hugs and emoji. Good television, would watch again.
