Description

Modern all-road bikes combine attributes that were considered mutually exclusive just afew years ago: comfort and performance. Speed on smooth pavement and on roughgravel roads. A lively feel and the ability to carry a camping load. Handling that is bothstable when the rider is tired and responsive on twisty mountain descents. All-road bikes combine the best aspects of racing, touring and even mountain bikes in just one bicycle.In this book, you'll find out how all-road bikes work and what is important when choosing one. A must-read for cyclists interested in the technology of their bikes, and for every cyclist contemplating his or her next bike purchase. Read more

    • Must read before buying or modifying a bike
Excellent observations of basic bike design essentials based on hard data and research. I now have a much better understanding of bike design to guide me in buying a new bike or revamping an old steel bike.

    • Excellent technical discussions that doesn't require a degree in engineering to grasp!
With a shed full of old bikes, collected over a lifetime, I yearn for the one (or two) that will serve me through my, er, golden years. Such seems to me to be the promise of "All-Road"bikes. This text gets into frame geometry, and how it affects climbing, descending, handling gravel and sand, and loading for backpacking. And explains the advantage those new, wider tires with supple sidewalls perform better than the tires I grew up with. ... show more

Great book for anybody who loves bikes, dispels bike myths, and proves what really matters with facts and physics. well researched. Makes the case for a more comfortable ride being more efficient.

Really enjoyed this book. I've been a cyclist since the early 70s and was so fascinated by the myth-busting. We just accepted so many things as 'right' without any real verification by testing or science. Fun read for me.

    • Informative and easy to read
This book covers a lot of very technical material about bike design in a form that is amazingly easy to read. There are two main sections: "The Science of Performance", and "The Parts of the All-road Bike". The performance section is full of useful myth debunkings. For example, it applies Amdahl's Law to bikes: if you are loosing less than 1% of your energy in the mechanical resistance of the bearings, upgrading to better bearings isn't going to save you more than 1%!. The discussion that I found most useful was the section on frame geometry and trail as it affects handling. I had not thought about Pneumatic Trail before, but this book explains it well, and consequently explains why bikes with wider tires, and thus more pneumatic trail, need less geometric trail. I found the sample geometries to be a bit slapdash, though — the text and the diagrams don't always correspond ( as with the Randonneuse), and some of the samples lack necessary information (such as tire and wheel size for the Porteur, and wheel size for the 'Cross sample). It's also a little annoying that the left and right pages seems to have been switched when binding, so that the page numbers are next to the spine, rather than the outside corners — this makes it hard to flip to a specific page found form the index. Each section starts with a nice quote — but none of them cites its source. I believe that mostly these quotes are Jan quoting himself from Bicycle Quarterly, but it would still be nice to have references to the volume and page. ... show more

    • Essential handbook for every cyclist!
One of the most informative and enjoyable books on bicycles and cycling I've ever come across. The book angles itself at riders interested in 'all-road' cycling, but there's so much interesting information in here that it'll be useful and fun for cyclists of any type and level. It manages to be fun and easy to read, while also being a compendium of invaluable knowledge about everything from components to riding styles. Experienced riders or builders will be familiar with some of what's in here, but there's enough detail and technical insight to reveal something new -- while still being clear enough for inexperienced cyclists to grasp and enjoy learning. It's also beautifully and simply designed, with charming illustrations throughout and clear diagrams to accompany the more complex technical stuff. Fantastic book for any cycling enthusiast. ... show more
