I closed shop over at homebrewedbikes.blogspot - and while it was a fun outlet for a few years, it wasn't interesting enough to me to warrant further postings.
Over the past few months, I started a journey into internally geared hubs. These hubs have been a source of intrigue throughout my mechanical cycling career. I've come across quite a few small parts for these hubs, and it turns out that I may be the sole source for many of them. You can check some out here: eBay - PlanetaryPedalWorks. I am working to grow my inventory to become a more reliable source for some of the hard to get parts, and I hope to make some beer money from the venture.
However, what I'm more interested in doing here, is appreciating all cool internal/dynamo/coaster hubs and "non-traditional drive" bicycles. These hubs and bikes may not be ideal in the sport of cycling, but for the general bicycle rider, they can make terrific choices. These hubs satisfy my boy-like curiosity and renew my excitement in uncovering past beauties and ingenuity.
Welcome to Planetary Pedal Works,
where you'll learn that something old can still be revolutionary.
Hey, I just picked up some of your 10.5mm pi SRAM axle nuts - and let me thank you very sincerely for importing these to the U.S.! SRAM has left users of its hubs adrift on this continent when it come to support for their hubs.
ReplyDeleteWow, thanks for realizing this! Actually, I didn't import anything. I've worked hard finding these things and want to get them out there to other enthusiasts like you! If you are working on any special projects, please let me know. I'd entertain some guest entries on this blog.
