All about bicycles, electric-assisted bikes, technology and safety in the press

The most common safety risks that we come across in our daily work around bicycle safety, technology and operating instructions are also published by us in articles in the leading German special-interest magazines TOUR (Europe's road bike magazine no. 1), BIKE (Europe's mountain bike magazine no. 1), MYBIKE and EMTB in order to make this information, which is important for the industry, available to a wider public.

For many years now, the Eurobike Show Daily, trade fair magazine of the annual Eurobike Show, has also given us the opportunity to publish our view of major developments in the cycle industry in full-page articles.

We also speak regularly in independent expert presentations about all areas of bicycle technology and the bicycle market. In addition, we are quoted by further special-interest magazines of the industry and the trade as well as increasingly by radio and television in their media reports, which shows us that we are spot on with our advice. The section "News" informs you about the latest news from our specialist areas. The reports and publications of this section are listed chronologically or according to areas of interest.

Verzögerungstaktik

Fast wäre die Scheibenbremse am Rennrad an Sicherheitsbedenken gescheitert. Dabei kann sie den Straßenradsport sicherer machen als je zuvor. Wenn die Reifen breit genug sind.

(...)

"Scheibenbremsen und breite Reifen sind ein Segen, besonders für Hobbyfahrer und bei schlechten Bedingungen. 25 Millimeter breite Reifen empfehle ich jedem, sogar 28 Millimeter Breite sind für manche vertretbar. Sie können mit weniger Druck gefahren werden und haften gut. Nur mit schmalen Felgen leidet die Aerodynamik, aber es gibt immer mehr breite Felgen. Scheibenbremsen sind kraftvoll und gut zu dosieren, zusammen mit breiteren Reifen kommt die Bremskraft besser auf die Straße.“
