Hey Frank. What a cool project! My two cents: I think projects with
really defined questions and applicability are the most compelling.
Also, simple is good, with clearly measured inputs and outputs. Off
the top of my head, I'd say one compelling question for 6th graders
would be: What's the effect
Actually the flat tire thing could be interesting. Similar to the
aerodynamic test, you could try testing at different tire pressures.
Obviously, at super low pressures the tires will roll worse on good
pavement than they will at super high pressures. But say max tire pressure
is 100 psi. What,
How about the effect of tread on traction? He could compare a slick tire to
one with a tread, maybe in wet and dry conditions. There are different
ways you could measure "traction", some methods wouldn't even require
riding a bike. The challenging part would be for him to define what he
meant
Destructive testing in some way could be fun.
A cheaper one would be to test the effect of handlebar height on speed
(aerodynamics). Find a big hill to coast down multiple times with the
handlebar at different heights. Most cycle-computers have a max speed
reading. To be consistent, put the han

I could have used the usual "let it all hang out" routing, but it impinged
a bit on the space of the basket. For some reason I didn't like having all
the cable under the handlebar tape, so thought I would try something
different. It's winter so I have time for that sort of thing. :-)

Yes, it is a 40/28 with an 11-28 cassette. There aren't any long hills
around here, so I won't even really need that many gears. Some of them are
just there for moral support.

Looks great! Interesting cable routing... I never considered that
this would need to be addressed should I ever want to add a basket to

It probably rides in a sprightly manner, playfully beckoning you to
push further. Whereas your Sam Hillborne likely has an assured air
about it, yet retaining a hint of aggressiveness when faced with a

My Quickbeam came with a 113 mm shimano BB UN-54 bottom bracket. This
was not the first run but I can’t see that it would make a difference.
With the Sugino Quickbeam crankset this gave a 48 mm chainline for the
large ring ( i.e. the middle ring of an equivalent Sugino XD. ) I

That's the one. Thanks.

I think mine came with a 107mm. If you're using the QB crank though,
the 32t ring is going to be real close to the chainstay. real close.
Hasn't been a problem for me though.
