about BiTex hubs
以前からBITEX社の名前は存じていましたし、実際に製品を手に��る機会も時々ありましたが、スポットではなく、正式なルートで取り扱いをさせていただける事になったのは今回が初めてです。
Tumblr media
しかもその歴史は今年でなんと創立百周年とか…。
同社製品で特徴的なのは二つの仕組み、どちらもスプロケットを固定するカセット ドライバー部分にあります。
・一つは、Anti-Bite Systemと呼ばれる仕組みです。
Tumblr media
軽量化の為、アルミ合金で造られたカセット ドライバー上に、スチール製の補強材がほぼ等角度で三ヶ所あり、スプラインにスプロケットが噛み込むのを防ぎます。
Tumblr media
・もう一つは、6 Pawls Systemと呼ばれる六つ爪の仕組みです。
Tumblr media
スプロケットのカセットを固定するラチェット式ドライバーが等角度で三ヶ所二組あり、それぞれが半ずらしのタイミングで接続される様になっています。
前出のAnti-Bite Systemも6 Pawls Systemも、この「等角度で三ヶ所」というのが重要で、どちらも実際にトルクがかかって機構がロックした時に外力が三点の中心でバランスする為、ハブ軸やベアリングなどに偏ったストレスが掛かり難く、高負荷時でもよりスムースに作動します。
表現を変えると、同じ二組だとしても二ヶ所二組の四つ爪ではトルクがかかった時に一組の爪が二ヶ所でロックしようとすると、バランスを維持するために三点目を探してそのトルクに圧される方に偏り、ハブ軸やベアリングに対しても偏ったストレスがかかる為、負荷が高くなるほどスムースには作動しにくくなります。
野外で酷使されるスポーツ用の道具なので、使えば何れ各パーツの損耗は避けられませんが、そういった際にも補修が可能となる様に、或いは損耗箇所を強化できる様な同規格の代替パーツに取り換えたりなど、安心してご利用を続けていただける様なサポートも受けられます。
これまではシマノさんを除くと、非常に高価なハブ製品でなければ国内でそういった細やかなサポートを期待する事は難しかったですが、比較的手の届きやすい価格帯の製品でも安心できるサービスを受けられるというのは非常に良い事だと思っています。
Tumblr media
今回はCenterLock規格のディスク ブレーキ用ロード バイク系の製品ですが、ISO 6bolts規格でも、マウンテン バイク系でも、リム ブレーキ用でも、小径車輪用でも、いろいろな車種に対応できる幅広い製品を展開されています。
Tumblr media
また、対応スプロケットも各社マウンテン バイク用、ロード バイク用、様々な規格に合わせたスプラインのカセット ドライバーが用意されていて、多種多様な車種で使っていただく事が可能です。
これらは多種多様な車輪をデザインする必要がある弊所にとっても非常にありがたい製品の展開です。
ただ、弊所にとってはスプロケットのカセット スプライン補強や、ラチェット ドライバーの仕組みよりも、地味にありがたいのはハブシェル上のフランジの幅だったりします。
車輪をデザインする際、少しでもスポークのブレーシング角度を大きく確保する為に、いつも(少なからず色々と苦心している割には)…僅かばかりの工夫をしていますが、最終的には元々のハブのフランジ設計上の制約から大きく逸脱する事は困難です。
そういった意味では、施工時にあまり無茶をしなくても良い車輪を構成しやすいハブのデザインをされているとも言えます。
あとはスポーク孔の選択肢の多さや、軸長、固定方式、ブレーキ規格の多様さも助かる要素になっています。
この先も末長く、質の良い製品を作り続けていただける様に応援したいです。

Wrap Weekends #12 - BMW M1
Tumblr media
for Wrap Weekends #12, we feature a stunner of a BMW M1! fitted with the iconic Procar kit, BBS centerlocks, and Toyo Proxes, it's wide and mean.
this is based on a relatively obscure livery that only the best of M1 aficionados might recognize - the Speed Star Wheels car that raced in the '80s Japanese Group 4. this car is not known by many, flying off the radar in the late 20th century and only having been restored in 2012 by Bowden's Own Australia.
this may have flown off the radar IRL, but it certainly makes a mark in Lakeshore.

Este peso mínimo se logra gracias al uso de materiales de alta gama y a la meticulosa ingeniería en su construcción. Los materiales utilizados para el cuadro y otros componentes de la bicicleta son seleccionados cuidadosamente para maximizar la resistencia y minimizar el peso. Esto se traduce en una bicicleta ágil y rápida en las subidas y aceleraciones, lo que permite al ciclista obtener el máximo rendimiento en cada pedalada.

Comparación con otros modelos de Specialized En la gama de bicicletas de Specialized, encontramos otros modelos que compiten en términos de aerodinámica y peso. Algunos ejemplos notables son la S-Works Venge y la Tarmac SL7. Estos modelos tienen características similares a la Roubaix SL8, pero cada uno tiene su enfoque particular.

Algunas marcas destacadas incluyen Trek, Giant y Cannondale. Cada marca tiene su enfoque particular en el diseño de bicicletas de carretera, por lo que es importante evaluar las características específicas de cada modelo para encontrar la bicicleta que mejor se adapte a las necesidades y preferencias del ciclista. https://youtu.be/3UAqBX2_eZc?si=_pemdtXSng6VNEOz Fuente vídeo: Specialized University Español Opiniones y reseñas de ciclistas Para obtener una perspectiva completa sobre la Roubaix SL8, es importante tener en cuenta las opiniones y reseñas de ciclistas que han tenido la oportunidad de probarla.

Detailed 2023 Porsche 911 GT3 RS Specs Porsche imbued the latest 911 GT3 RS with racing technology and know-how from its successful GT racing program. The result is a street-legal supercar that can hold its own at any racetrack. Powertrain and Performance Specs The heart of the 2023 Porsche 911 GT3 RS is its naturally aspirated 4.0L flat-6 engine, based on the GT3's motor but taken to new heights: Engine Type: 4.0L naturally aspirated flat-6 Horsepower: 502 hp @ 8,400 rpm Torque: 346 lb-ft @ 6,250 rpm Redline: 9,000 rpm 0-60 mph: 3.2 seconds (est.) Top Speed: 193 mph Transmission: 7-speed PDK dual-clutch Drivetrain: Rear-wheel drive Curb Weight: 3,366 lbs This high-revving powerplant enables the GT3 RS to reach a staggering 9,000 rpm redline - unheard of for a street-legal car. It delivers an intoxicating sound unmatched by turbocharged engines. The sprint to 60 mph takes just 3.2 seconds thanks to the PDK transmission's instant shifts. Clearing the quarter mile takes under 11 seconds - supercar acceleration. But it's the GT3 RS's top end performance that truly impresses. Horsepower peaks at a lofty 8,400 rpm before hitting the 9,000 rpm limiter. This allows it to hit a top speed of 193 mph. Chassis, Suspension and Brake Specs The Porsche 911 GT3 RS's capabilities come alive in the corners thanks to its specially developed chassis and suspension components: Front Suspension: MacPherson struts w/ helper springs Rear Suspension: Multi-link with adjustable helper springs Adaptive Dampers: Electronically adjustable coilovers Ride Height: Lowers 1.2 inches versus GT3 Wheels: 20"/21" Centerlock forged alloys Tires: 265/35 ZR20 front, 325/30 ZR21 rear Michelin Cup 2 R tires Steering: Variable-ratio electric power steering Brakes: 16.1” front, 15.4” rear carbon ceramic rotors, 6-piston (front) and 4-piston (rear) calipers The suspension uses stiffer springs and specially tuned adaptive dampers designed for track use. Ride height is lowered for a more planted stance. Massive carbon ceramic brakes provide incredible stopping power from high speeds. These brakes are also exceptionally fade-resistant during repeated hard use
on track. For ultimate grip and control, the GT3 RS rides on track-focused Michelin Cup 2 R tires measuring 265 and 325 mm front/rear. The tall 21” rear tires enable later braking and higher cornering speeds. This chassis can tackle the most demanding racetracks while still being docile enough for daily driving use. It's a prime example of Porsche's engineering prowess. Exterior Dimensions and Aerodynamics The 2023 911 GT3 RS stretches the boundaries of function-over-form design. Aggressive aero bits reduce lift and increase downforce for ultimate track performance: Length: 179.7 inches Width: 72.9 inches Height: 49.9 inches Wheelbase: 96.7 inches Front Track Width: 65.2 inches Rear Track Width: 62.4 inches Drag Coefficient: 0.34 Frontal Area: 22.0 sq ft Downforce (at 124 mph): 882 pounds Notable aero elements include a manually adjustable swan-neck rear wing, front splitter flicks, redesigned underbody diffuser, and louvers over the front fenders. These generate over 800 pounds of downforce for incredible cornering grip. Openings in the rear fenders channel air for engine and brake cooling. Vents behind each front wheel help reduce turbulent air in the wheel wells. Despite all these racing elements, the GT3 RS retains a coefficient of drag of just 0.34 - quite slippery for a track car. Poor aerodynamics hamper many rivals' top speed capabilities. Interior, Cargo and Driver Amenities The GT3 RS's interior leaves out luxury frills to save weight, but retains Porsche's exceptional build quality: Seats: Carbon-backed buckets with Alcantara Cargo Volume: 4.9 cubic feet front, 9.0 cubic feet rear Infotainment: Porsche Communication Management with Apple CarPlay Audio: 10-speaker 500-watt Bose surround sound system Navigation: Standard Connectivity: Onboard WiFi and wireless phone charging Safety: Automatic braking, blind spot monitoring, lane keep assist Lightweight carbon fiber and Alcantara trim shave precious pounds versus leather and sound insulation. The RS weighs 110 lbs less than a comparably equipped GT3 for a significant performance advantage. Cargo space is quite usable for a two-seater sports car thanks to the front and rear cargo areas. Drivers will appreciate the standard Apple CarPlay and navigation system during longer drives. The audio system provides crisp sound that won't overwhelm the engine's symphony. Modern safety tech including automatic emergency braking provides peace of mind and potential insurance savings. Design of the 2023 Porsche 911 GT3 RS The 911 GT3 RS stretches Porsche's signature sports car design language to its extreme limits. An overarching focus on optimizing airflow shapes the aggressive aesthetic: Exterior Styling Low, sloped "fastback" roofline Pronounced front and rear spoilers Enlarged intakes behind rear quarter window Extended rear diffuser Rear wing with swan neck mounts Louvers ahead of rear wheels Centerlock wheels with aero covers Quad exhaust pipes positioned centrally The RS does away with any non-functional styling elements to reduce drag and increase downforce. A gaping front air intake and splitter feed the radiators. The manually adjustable swan neck wing can increase downforce for high-speed cornering. Other racing elements like the centrally-mounted exhaust, rear diffuser, and fender louvers signal this 911 variant means serious business. The GT3 RS announces its presence visually before its deafening engine note leaves no doubts. Interior Layout Inside, the GT3 RS remains recognizably 911 but with a spartan focus: Sport bucket seats with exposed carbon backs Alcantara trim on seats, steering wheel, and dash Minimal padded surfaces Carbon composite construction Analog tachometer and gauges Porsche GT Sport steering wheel Race-inspired gear shifter The interior uses thin padding and significant exposed carbon fiber
to pare back weight. Analog gauges and a prominent 9,000 rpm tachometer promise an intense driving experience. Overall, the cabin provides a distinctly track-oriented vibe consistent with the GT3 RS's capabilities. It's a driver-focused space geared for setting fast laps. Unique Exterior Color Choices The Porsche 911 GT3 RS gives owners a choice of exclusive colors not found on regular 911 models: White Black Guards Red Racing Yellow Shark Blue GT Silver Metallic Guards Red and Racing Yellow are classic Porsche Motorsport colors that pay homage to the brand's racing heritage. Shark Blue and GT Silver are available exclusively on the GT3 RS. Combining these bold hues with exposed carbon fiber elements can produce particularly aggressive, motorsport-inspired looks. They let owners personalize their GT3 RS. Porsche 911 GT3 RS Performance and Driving Impressions The Porsche 911 GT3 RS's staggering performance capabilities become abundantly clear on both road and track. Let's look at its capabilities in various driving scenarios: Acceleration and Power Delivery Stomping on the throttle prompts the 4.0L flat-six to spin rapidly through its broad powerband. The RS surges forward with supercar-level force: Minimal low-end torque requires keeping revs up Horsepower builds steadily until peaking at 8,400 rpm PDK snaps off ultra-quick full throttle upshifts Howling soundtrack reaches a 9,000 rpm crescendo Speed builds rapidly into illegal territory Managing the tall gears and lack of low-end torque takes finesse. But skilled drivers will be rewarded with incredible straight line speed once the motor hits its stride. The soundtrack piped into the cabin is a large part of the thrill. Handling and Steering Dancing through twisty canyon roads or racetrack corners reveals the GT3 RS's sublime balance and grip: Ultra-sharp turn-in response with lots of feedback High cornering forces possible thanks to downforce Adjustable suspension firms up to minimize body roll Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires offer tenacious grip Rear-engine layout feels poised on corner exit Locking rear differential puts power down cleanly There are few vehicles that change direction as eagerly or supply this level of cornering grip. Even at high speeds, the chassis remains composed and adjustable at the limit. The GT3 RS outclasses rivals costing multiples more in the handling department. Braking Performance The carbon ceramic brakes provide incredible stopping power. They're remarkably fade-free even after repeated heavy use: Extremely powerful and consistent pedal feel Repeated hard stops from 150+ mph show no fade ABS provides stable modulation in slippery conditions Carbon construction reduces unsprung weight Huge 16.1” front rotors with racing-sized pads Calipers lifted from the GT2 RS street car Drivers can brake later and with more confidence compared to steel brakes. This pays dividends on track and provides reassuring stopping power on public roads too. Daily Driving and Livability Despite its hardcore capabilities, the GT3 RS remains surprisingly livable in day-to-day driving: Comfortable enough for long highway drives Suspension firms up but still compliant over bumps PDK transmission makes stop-and-go traffic bearable Clear forward sight lines and rearview camera aid parking Reasonably spacious cabin and cargo area Infotainment system with navigation and Apple CarPlay Automatic climate control Respectable fuel economy for its performance This makes the GT3 RS flexible enough for weekend getaways and the occasional commute in addition to back road blasts.
