NEW VIDEO TAPES PUT CYCLISTS NEW AND OLD IN CONTROL Two videos created by cycling enthusiasts will make bicycle mechanics and maintenance understandable, even to those not mechanically-inclined. The tapes have been released by Rolling Video. Mountain Bike Anatomy and Road Bike Anatomy have been created for both experienced and new cyclists. Road veterans will find the tapes useful as a supplement to technical manuals. New cyclists will find the technical language and mechanical concepts of the manuals greatly clarified after watching a mechanic at work. "New cyclists and many who have been on the road for a while have difficulty translating technical manuals into practical applications," explains Jim Carter, a former bicycle racer and mechanic, as well as vice president of Rolling Video. "Knowing how derailleurs should sound, for example, is an important part of proper adjustment. You can't get that sound from a book." Carter says that kind of bicycle awareness improves not just maintenance and longevity of the bicycle but the safety of the cyclist as well. This basic understanding of bicycle mechanics is equally important to a cyclist who is not inclined to work on his or her bike. These comprehensive video manuals cover the basics -- from assembly of the new bicycle to maintenance to installation of accessories. Working on high-quality bicycles, Carter demonstrates each step in assembly and maintenance, offering tips not found in the manuals. Mountain Bike Anatomy covers assembly of the crankset with clipless pedals, the steering mechanism, cantilever brakes, thumbshifters, and truing and mounting wheels. Maintenance tips cover crankarm removal, chain removal, brake and derailleur adjustment, scheduling maintenance, installing and adjusting cleats, and bike fit. Tips on upgrading include racks, bags, and panniers, water bottle cages, frame pumps, and helmet fit. Road Bike Anatomy covers the assembly of the crankset with clipless pedals, steering mechanism, side pull brakes, down tube index shifters, truing and mounting wheels, and mounting tubular and clincher tires. Maintenance tips include crankarm removal, chain removal, brake and derailleur adjustments, the maintenance schedule, cleat adjustment, and bike fit. Upgrading tips include front and rear racks, bags and panniers, rear pick-up cyclocomputer, clip-on and full aero bars, and helmet fit. "The experienced cyclist knows how proper assembly and good maintenance make cycling, easier, safer, and above all, more fun," says Carter. "These two videos will make the process a little more user-friendly." "Mountain Bike Anatomy" or "Road Bike Anatomy" each retail for $29.95.
