Agreed, I can see that it isn't perfect but I really never had any issues.
Must have rode 1k miles on that fixie in NYC, felt great. I was poor back
then and had the cranks sitting around.

Thank goodness it only took me a couple of minutes to prove that biopace
cannot result in constant tension. Sheldon agrees with me:
"There is a slight variation in tension resulting from the varying angle
between the two straight runs of chain as the axis of the chainring
rotates, but this has
Found it! AASHTA!

Dangit. Now I'm not going to be able to focus on anything else for a few
hours figuring that out. Thanks for nothing! ;-)

You would think so but it maintains a constant tension. I don't know enough
about physics to tell why though but I think there is a Sheldon article out
there somewhere.

Biopace on a ss or a fixie? How does that work? Doesn't the chain go

I had biopace for years on a fixie, it performed well. I doubt if if was
leaps and bounds better than my normal old Sugino crank but it felt nice.

Hey, several pro riders have stuck with the Q-Ring (and other similar
non-round chainrings). I have friends who ride with Q-Rings on their SS
mountain bikes.
But the REAL treasures are the "imitation Biopace" cranks that
you occasionally bump into... I think Suntour and Sugino had em... Jus
Nice snag, Jake! I saw that it had been sold, and was hoping someone from
the group grabbed it. Email me offline - montclairbob...@gmail.com ... not
a lot out there about this, other than from those who own them...
Peace,

MBB, you are turning into a reverse Retro Grouch! You are championing the
old stuff that the retro grouches hated! I love it. I'm in!

My '88 Schwinn KOM-10 has the same lugged uni-crown fork. Also made in
Greenville, MS. Another Schwinn classic.

Funny thing about the Biopace crank, David... I REALLY wanted to hate this
(I liked it for all of 5 minutes when it was first released in the mid-80s,
but quickly dismissed it as more useless industry-created novelty). When
it resurfaced in my life (years later on my Cimarron), I instantly decl
I really like the extra gusset around the unicrown fork. Seems like a
thoughtful measure. And the Biopace stickers are a really nice addition as
well.
Cheers,

This bike has an interesting fork. I have never seen a lugged u-fork or
uni-fork...I forgot what it is called. It also has the biopace crank. I
like it, but not my size.
