<p>BrianK: Reverted edits by Bentley (talk) to last revision by Dustingram</p> <hr /> <div>==Should I contribute? ==<br /> Yes, absolutely! If you are comfortable with adding content to the wiki, then go for it!<br /> <br /> ==How should I get started?==<br /> The first thing you should do is [[Special:Userlogin|Create an Account]]. Although account creation is not required, doing so helps keep track of everyone's contributions.<br /> <br /> Once you've created an account, you should check to see if your Bike Collective or Bicycle Organization has been included in this wiki, and if so, whether it's information is correct and up-to-date.<br /> <br /> ==How do I see if my Bike Collective or Bicycle Organization is included in this wiki?==<br /> You can use the [[Special:Search|Search Page]] to search for the name of your group, or see if it is on the list of [[Community Bicycle Organizations]]. Search is also available as a search box on the left-hand side of every page.<br /> <br /> ==Can I edit any page?==<br /> Yes! Anybody can edit any page. To start editing any page, just click on 'edit' tab at the top. <br /> <br /> ==How do I create a new page?==<br /> You start new pages by looking for them from the [[Special:Search|Search Page]]. When the word or phrase you've searched for is not found, you can begin editing the non-existant page by following the red link in the search results. This works for any [[red link]]!<br /> <br /> ==What information should be on the page for my Bike Collective or Bicycle Organization?==<br /> Generally, this is up to you! Although to make this wiki as useful as possible, pages should generally include your geographical location or address, a link to your website, an email address or phone number, and a mission statement or description about what you do.<br /> <br /> If you're not sure where to start with the formatting, you can copy and paste this template and fill in the blanks:<br /> <br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> [[Image:Your_Logo.jpg|thumb|Your Bicycle Organization]]<br /> <br /> '''Your Bicycle Organization''' is a blah blah blah, with a mission to blah blah blah, etc.<br /> <br /> ==Contact Info==<br /> Your Bicycle Organization<br /> 123 Bicycle Street<br /> Your Town, State, Country<br /> <br /> ==Website==<br /> * http://www.yourwebsite.org/<br /> <br /> [[Category:Community Bicycle Organizations]]<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> See more editing tips [[Help:Editing|here]].<br /> <br /> ==How do I upload files or photos?==<br /> # [[Special:Userlogin|Create an Account]]<br /> # Go to the [[Special:Upload|Upload File]] page.<br /> # Click on the '''Browse...''' button<br /> # Browse and double click your file (ex: Filename.jpg) or hightlight it and click the '''Open''' button.<br /> # Click the '''Upload file''' button. You don't need to include a summary or choose a license if you're unsure.<br /> # Now that it is uploaded you can use '''&lt;nowiki&gt;[[Image:Filename.jpg]]&lt;/nowiki&gt;''' in your wiki pages to display it.<br /> <br /> ==I have some content, but I'm not sure about all this formatting code.==<br /> That's ok! Go ahead and add whatever text you would like. An administrator will see that you've created a new page and fix any issues it may have.<br /> <br /> ==I've added some content, but something doesn't look right!==<br /> That's ok! If you're not too worried about it, just leave it for an administrator to straighten up. If you'd like to DIY, though, you can contact one of the administrators for additional tips (see below).<br /> <br /> ==I've read this guide, but I'm still not comfortable adding content to this wiki!==<br /> If this still doesn't quite make sense, don't worry! Feel free to send anything you have in an email or as an attachment and someone here will happily contribute it for you.<br /> <br /> ==I'd like to speak to an administrator, please!==<br /> To communicate with an administrator on the wiki, go to the [[Special:ListUsers/bureaucrat|List of Administrators]] and click on one to go to their profile page. To send them a message, click on the 'discussion' tab to go to their talk page, and from there click the '+' sign next to the 'edit' tab to add a new discussion topic. ([[User:Jonathan|Jonathan]], [[User:Dustingram|Dustin]], and [[User:Quill|Quill]] are generally available.)</div>

<p>BrianK: /* Preparation */</p> <hr /> <div>'''Despoking wheels''' is a good task for a new volunteer. It also benefits the organization by getting unserviceable wheels converted into several usable parts, and the volunteer benefits by doing a relatively easy and interesting task, getting experience using spoke wrenches and a feel for spoke tension, and learning about the parts of a wheel and about how wheels are constructed.<br /> <br /> == Steps ==<br /> <br /> [[Image:Wheel-ready-to-despoke.jpg|thumb|This is what a ready to despoke wheel looks like.]]<br /> <br /> The primary task of despoking is '''loosening the spokes''' so that you can separate the parts of the wheel.<br /> <br /> === Preparation ===<br /> <br /> # [[Remove the tire]] and tube.<br /> # Remove the [[rim strip]].<br /> # Remove the [[skewer]], if there is one.<br /> # Remove the gears. For rear wheels, '''GEARS MUST BE REMOVED!''' And done *before* the wheel is disassembled!<br /> <br /> [[Image:Parts-removed-from-wheel.jpg|thumb|And these are all things you might take off (but they might already be off).]]<br /> <br /> === Despoking ===<br /> <br /> [[Image:removing-spokes-from-flange.jpg|thumb|Pull spokes through the holes in the hub. ]]<br /> <br /> # If available, put the wheel in a [[truing stand]]. Otherwise just sit in a chair.<br /> # Find the appropriate [[spoke wrench]].<br /> # Loosen all the spokes with the wrench, and then you can turn the nipples with your fingers, or from the outside of the rim with a screwdriver.<br /> # Once you start loosening nipples far enough that they come off of the spokes, put the nipples in a cup and you can work each spoke between the other spokes to pull it through its hole in the hub. If it is a rear wheel separate left and and right side spokes into two different piles.<br /> # Continue this until you are left with a pile of spokes, a cup of nipples, a hub, and a rim. If you have to bend a spoke a bit to get it out, that is fine.<br /> <br /> '''NOTE:''' If you are using the truing stand, as the spokes get very loose the wheel will become hard to handle and it will be easier at some point to remove the wheel from the stand and continue sitting down.<br /> <br /> == Common Problems ==<br /> <br /> One problem that you might have despoking a wheel is frozen spokes or rounded nipples. If you are turning a nipple and the spoke is turning with it, or if the nipple is frozen to the rim and you are unable to turn it at all, you will not be able to remove that spoke normally. If a nipple is rounded, you can try to remove it using a screwdriver from the back, but sometimes the nipple is rounded because it was frozen. In the event that you cannot loosen a nipple, you will have to cut the spoke using wire cutters, and both the spoke and nipple will be scrap. If you have a rounded nipple that you manage to get loose, keep the spoke and scrap the nipple.<br /> <br /> == Sorting ==<br /> <br /> [[Image:spoke-motel.jpg|thumb|Checking the drawer for 266mm spokes in the spoke motel]]<br /> <br /> There are two possible futures for the spokes. If the spokes are in better shape than other spokes of the same length in the spoke motel, they will go there. Otherwise, they will go into the steel scrap bin (the large wire bin under the kitchen table). It is a good idea to measure a [[spoke's length]] early in the process and check the drawer for that length. If you know that you will be scrapping the spokes, you can leave the nipples off and collect them in a pile (you will still save the nipples).<br /> <br /> The hub and rim will go into the appropriate piles to be sorted. If the rim is steel, the appropriate pile is the art parts bin, where the spokes can be used for creative projects.<br /> <br /> == Go Back ==<br /> <br /> * [[Shop Manual]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:How-to]]</div>

<p>BrianK: /* Guidelines */</p> <hr /> <div>'''Wheels'''<br /> <br /> == Parts of a Wheel ==<br /> <br /> === [[Tire]] ===<br /> <br /> === [[Rim Strip]] ===<br /> <br /> === [[Rim]] ===<br /> <br /> === [[Spoke Nipples]] ===<br /> <br /> === [[Spokes]] ===<br /> <br /> === [[Hubs]] ===<br /> <br /> == Wheel size ==<br /> <br /> The first step of the process is to determine what size the wheel is. You will probably do this either by looking at visual cues or by the obvious size of the wheel, but sometimes if the wheel could be, for example, 700c or 27&quot;, you may need to check with a tire. The reason you need to check is because some wheel sizes are much more in demand than others.<br /> <br /> Tires have two sizes, diameter and width. Diameter is more important, because for the most part tires of different widths will fit on the same rim size. Tires of different diameters never will. The major size categories on this page are diameters, but there is some discussion of width within the sections. The diameter of a tire that matters is how big it is where it fits the wheel - it doesn't matter how big it is where it rolls on the road. The diameter where it fits the wheel is called the bead seat diameter, or BSD. It is measured in millimeters, and will be a number between 200 and 650.<br /> [[need a picture to contrast the two diameters]<br /> <br /> === Why it's not easy ===<br /> <br /> It sounds easy - if tires are measured by diameter and width, you can find one with the right diameter and put it on the wheel. However, years ago people who made tires didn't write the correct diameter on the tire. They wrote some number that was a little like the tire's diameter where it meets the road. But as you know, that diameter is meaningless. It's a little easier with common sizes, since manufacturers usually used the same made-up numbers for most of them. We'll concentrate on those.<br /> <br /> === Guidelines ===<br /> <br /> * 622 - 700C, rarely 28&quot; or 29&quot;. Although far outnumbered by 26&quot; wheel types, these may be in high demand for both building up new fixies/SS frames and by people also try to modify their 27&quot; bike to use 700C because of the much greater choice of new and used parts. These are a good size to start the list with, because you should essentially just make a &quot;fair&quot; evaluation of 700s - you don't need to be overly generous or demanding. A decent amount of rim damage to one of these wheels will usually mean that it will never ride as nicely as it should, but it might still work well enough to be a decent wheel. If you think a flat spot can be fixed well enough for safe braking, save it. All of these wheels will be aluminum and have bead hooks - if you find one that isn't, it is probably not worth saving. If spokes are corroded, up to 2 or 3 rounded/frozen nipples should be ok, at which point the wheel becomes a despoke unless the rim and hub are also completely ruined. It is very unlikely that a 700C wheel will end up in the backyard - they will almost always be repairable or have a useable part - even if it is just the aluminum rim, useable for non-bike fabrication.<br /> <br /> * 630 - 27&quot; wheels are always in demand, both front and rear. Steel rims are great to have around for all the people walking the door that need replacements, aluminum perhaps less so, but if you need a wheel, any will do. We need a lot of these because bike boom bikes had skinny tires and many riders succeeded in denting their rims. Because of this, your standards will be fairly low. Any aluminum 27&quot; wheel without a decently damaged rim will be considered repairable. Steels that aren't more than a few mm out of true can be kept as well. It would be nice to have hook beads, but they usually don't. Aluminum wheels with bead hooks and moderate rim damage (a fixable flat spot or other crash damage) can be consider repairable if the spokes aren't too corroded, because they are very rare, especially if the hub is decent - and it usually will be if the rim has bead hooks..<br /> <br /> * 559 - Modern/Cruiser 26&quot; or &quot;26 decimal&quot;. These wheels are also in demand, but are we have a better supply of them because they are still in production and bikes with this size wheel commonly end up getting scrapped. All steel that isn't absolutely ready to ride goes to the backyard - we may end up using them, but they can wait out there. All the aluminums should have bead hooks, and any without serious rim damage that are less than 2cm or so out of true should be considered repairable, unless there are more than one or two frozen nipples.<br /> <br /> * 590 - Old 26&quot; - Three speed or &quot;26 fraction&quot;. Another size to be fair with. These are all going to be steel, and generally won't seem like anything special. Hold wheels with good three speed hubs, namely Sturmey-Archers, to a higher standard: if the rim has a decent dent, these wheels should be despoked so the hub can find a better future. Generally, keep anything around that seems trueable.<br /> * Other sizes. Most other sizes can safely be considered &quot;oddball&quot;. One mildly notable size is the kids mountain bike 24&quot; size (507mm). The rules for these should be the same as 559s. Road tubular wheels are rare, and also easy to evaluate: if there is anything wrong with the wheel that prevents it from being absolutely perfect, it should be despoked; all of its parts are high quality and could be useful. Kids wheels smaller than 24&quot; are either fine or ruined - ruined could mean a big rim dent, a broken spoke, or frozen bearings. Loose bearings, cheap bearings, out of true, and corroded spokes are not a problem. Decent 20&quot; BMX wheels are subject to standards similar to those of 559 wheels.<br /> <br /> * 597 - Old 26&quot; - Similar to the &quot;26 fraction&quot; 590, especially in people confusing it with other 26&quot; sizes. If you have a lot of old Schwinns passing though, you'll find that many of them do indeed use this size, and the 7mm difference vs the 590 makes life fairly difficult if you don't have 597 around. In some locations, even getting a &quot;26 fraction&quot; 597 tire can be difficult and special ordering will be required. If your shop can purchase new parts, you might want to stock this size - if for no other reason than to have some around if the shop needs to refurbish a donated bike. If you find that a mounted 590 tire is generating a &quot;hop&quot; while riding, it could be because the rim is actually sized for 597 - does that 590 actually fit that well onto the rim?<br /> <br /> * 650b - A specialized retrofit item...<br /> <br /> There have been many different sizes of wheels used on bicycles, but only a few of them are common at the co-op. [http://www.bikecult.com/works/wheelsizes.html|Here] is a full list of sizes on another web site. It is a good list for reference purposes, but you can learn almost all of what you need to know on this page.<br /> <br /> == Common tires sizes ==<br /> These four are the most common tire sizes that you will encounter if you are fixing bikes at the co-op. If you have a bike, it probably has one of these tire sizes as well. Farther down the page, there is some information on less common sizes. If you can learn how to spot these, you will know everything you ever really need to know.<br /> <br /> === 559mm ===<br /> Known as: 26&quot;, mountain bike size, cruiser size, &quot;26 decimal&quot;<br /> Common sizes: 26 x 1.5&quot;, 26 x 1.75&quot;, 26 x 1.95&quot;, 26 x 2.15&quot;<br /> <br /> This is probably the most common size made today, since it's on almost all mountain bikes and most &quot;cruiser&quot; bikes. It was also the size of wheels on old American beach cruisers (the big heavy bikes with one speed - ''not'' the English-style bikes with three speeds). These are very easy to recognize - if you look at the list of common sizes, you can see that they are all known as 26 inches, and the width is given as a decimal number, like 1.5&quot; instead of 1 1/2 inches. Any tire listed as 26 x a decimal is a 559mm. If you need to replace one, there are a lot of choices in width and tread, and you can choose one to fit the riding style - ask a key volunteer or staff member if you need advice.<br /> <br /> === 590mm ===<br /> Known as: 26&quot; x 1 3/8&quot;, 3-speed tires<br /> Common size: 26&quot; x 1 3/8&quot;<br /> <br /> These are found mostly on 3-speeds, the old style of city bikes with turned back handlebars, fenders, and 3-speed hubs in the rear. They are also found on similar bikes without the 3-speed hubs (sometimes single speeds, and sometimes with derailleurs). They always say 26&quot; x 1 3/8&quot; on the side, so they are easy to recognize. Bikes are no longer made new with this size, but we have a lot of them at the co-op. If you need to replace one, there is only one type, so the choice is easy.<br /> <br /> === 630mm ===<br /> Known as: 27&quot;, old road bike tires<br /> Common sizes: 27&quot; x 1 1/8&quot;, 27&quot; x 1 1/4&quot;, 27&quot; x 1 3/8&quot;<br /> <br /> This size was used on road bikes in the United States for many decades, and there are still a lot of these bikes around. Anything with road ((handlebars)) at the co-op that is older than about 20 years will have these wheels. They will always have be labeled as one of the three common sizes, and will not be hard to recognize. Bikes are no longer made with this wheel size, but it is almost the same size as the modern road wheel size (see below), so be sure you check the tire rather than assuming any large wheel is one size or the other. If you need to replace a tire on one, you should typically use a 27 x 1 1/4&quot; tire, although if the bike is very cheap you may wish to use a 27&quot; x 1 3/8&quot; for extra comfort, since people who buy the cheapest 27&quot; bikes (e.g. $50 bikes) are not usually buying them to ride fast.<br /> <br /> === 622mm ===<br /> Known as: 700c, modern road wheels, hybrid, 29&quot;<br /> Common sizes: 700 x 25mm, 700 x 38mm<br /> <br /> This size is not found too often at the co-op, but it is very common on new bikes. It is the size on all modern road bikes, and many &quot;comfort bikes&quot; and &quot;hybrids&quot;, as well as some recent mountain bikes, known as 29ers (the wheels are referred to as 29 inches when they have mountain tires). It should be very easy to recognize these wheels if they have tires on them, as almost all of them will actually say 622 on the side, and most will say 700c as well. There are a wide variety of tires available for this size, and replacements should be chosen to fit the riding requirements. Ask a key volunteer or staff member.<br /> <br /> == Evaluating ==<br /> <br /> This is an advanced job that requires a lot of knowledge about wheels and wheel repair. However, this makes it a great opportunity for someone who doesn't have this knowledge to learn by working with someone who does. If you are going to be evaluating wheels by yourself, you should be familiar with all of these aspects of wheel repair:<br /> <br /> * Flat spots or other impact damage and how to find them<br /> * How to spot a bead hook on a rim<br /> * How to quickly tell how out of true a wheel is, and see hops<br /> * How corroded is too corroded for spokes<br /> * Finding rounded and/or frozen nipples<br /> * Telling the difference between wheel sizes on wheels without tires attached<br /> * A basic knowledge of wheel sizes and what they're used for<br /> <br /> Having these skills also implies a knowledge of basic truing. Although this process doesn't require much actual truing, it would be difficult to have a good eye for how out of true a wheel is without having trued before. There are steps of the process that anyone can do, so even if you don't have all of these skills, read on.<br /> <br /> === Basic Categories ===<br /> <br /> The main goal of wheel sorting is to determine whether a wheel should be despoked, repaired, or just put out in the backyard. Despoke wheels typically have one or more good parts, but a fatal flaw as a wheel. A good example would be a wheel with good spokes and a good hub, but a rim that was ruined in a collision with a pothole. Wheels to be repaired are the ones with no fatal flaws. Backyard wheels are ones that are either a complete loss, such as a wheel where the rim, spokes, and hub are all ruined, or cheap steel wheels which aren't in great shape but could be used as is, since the standards for steel wheels are fairly low. These wheels are free for members to take, if they need them; an individual who needs a wheel and can't find anything better may find it worthwhile to repair them although the co-op does not.<br /> <br /> === Tasks for apprentices ===<br /> <br /> While an experienced volunteer can do the entire job, there are certain aspects which can provide a good learning experience for someone who is newer. One of these is lubricating nipples. After a quick initial inspection by an experienced volunteer looking for fatal flaws (mostly rim damage, but give the axle a spin as well), an apprentice can get the wheel in the truing stand and lube all of the nipples, then pick the correct [[spoke wrench]] and make sure they're all turning. The lube is necessary to check if the nipples will turn, and if they do, it will save some time for the person who trues the wheel later on. This can help educate the volunteer in the processes involved in wheel truing. If there is some confusion regarding the size of a wheel, a new volunteer can check the wheel using tires to determine its size. New volunteers can also be the ones to tag a wheel when it's finished, which will involve them in the evaluation process and show them what problems are common, both fixable and fatal.<br /> <br /> == See Also ==<br /> <br /> * [[Shop Manual]]<br /> * [[Wheel Truing]]<br /> * [[Wheel Care]]<br /> * [[Wheel Building]]<br /> * [[Despoking Wheels]]<br /> <br /> == Spanish ==<br /> <br /> ''Ruedas'' (f)<br /> <br /> <br /> {{Parts}}<br /> [[Category:Bicycle Parts]]</div>

There are a wide variety of tires available for this size, and replacements should be chosen to fit the riding requirements. Ask a key volunteer or staff member.<br /> <br /> == Evaluating ==<br /> <br /> This is an advanced job that requires a lot of knowledge about wheels and wheel repair. However, this makes it a great opportunity for someone who doesn't have this knowledge to learn by working with someone who does. If you are going to be evaluating wheels by yourself, you should be familiar with all of these aspects of wheel repair:<br /> <br /> * Flat spots or other impact damage and how to find them<br /> * How to spot a bead hook on a rim<br /> * How to quickly tell how out of true a wheel is, and see hops<br /> * How corroded is too corroded for spokes<br /> * Finding rounded and/or frozen nipples<br /> * Telling the difference between wheel sizes on wheels without tires attached<br /> * A basic knowledge of wheel sizes and what they're used for<br /> <br /> Having these skills also implies a knowledge of basic truing. Although this process doesn't require much actual truing, it would be difficult to have a good eye for how out of true a wheel is without having trued before. There are steps of the process that anyone can do, so even if you don't have all of these skills, read on.<br /> <br /> === Basic Categories ===<br /> <br /> The main goal of wheel sorting is to determine whether a wheel should be despoked, repaired, or just put out in the backyard. Despoke wheels typically have one or more good parts, but a fatal flaw as a wheel. A good example would be a wheel with good spokes and a good hub, but a rim that was ruined in a collision with a pothole. Wheels to be repaired are the ones with no fatal flaws. Backyard wheels are ones that are either a complete loss, such as a wheel where the rim, spokes, and hub are all ruined, or cheap steel wheels which aren't in great shape but could be used as is, since the standards for steel wheels are fairly low. These wheels are free for members to take, if they need them; an individual who needs a wheel and can't find anything better may find it worthwhile to repair them although the co-op does not.<br /> <br /> === Tasks for apprentices ===<br /> <br /> While an experienced volunteer can do the entire job, there are certain aspects which can provide a good learning experience for someone who is newer. One of these is lubricating nipples. After a quick initial inspection by an experienced volunteer looking for fatal flaws (mostly rim damage, but give the axle a spin as well), an apprentice can get the wheel in the truing stand and lube all of the nipples, then pick the correct [[spoke wrench]] and make sure they're all turning. The lube is necessary to check if the nipples will turn, and if they do, it will save some time for the person who trues the wheel later on. This can help educate the volunteer in the processes involved in wheel truing. If there is some confusion regarding the size of a wheel, a new volunteer can check the wheel using tires to determine its size. New volunteers can also be the ones to tag a wheel when it's finished, which will involve them in the evaluation process and show them what problems are common, both fixable and fatal.<br /> <br /> == See Also ==<br /> <br /> * [[Shop Manual]]<br /> * [[Wheel Truing]]<br /> * [[Wheel Care]]<br /> * [[Wheel Building]]<br /> * [[Despoking Wheels]]<br /> <br /> == Spanish ==<br /> <br /> ''Ruedas'' (f)<br /> <br /> <br /> {{Parts}}<br /> [[Category:Bicycle Parts]]</div>

<p>BrianK: /* Stay Open */</p> <hr /> <div>How a '''shop is organized''' can help make it more accessible to new visitors and volunteers. A well organized shop also takes less effort to maintain, and helps reduce the amount of time spent searching for appropriate parts.<br /> <br /> This page is an attempt at documenting the ideas, devices, and systems used by different bike projects to keep their shops organized and accessible.<br /> <br /> == Design Recommendations ==<br /> <br /> === Pre-Plan ===<br /> <br /> Set your priorities with the 3-B's:<br /> <br /> * Blue prints<br /> * Budgets<br /> * Builders<br /> <br /> === Contractors ===<br /> <br /> Do what you do best - hire the rest. If you can't hire anyone, chances are you have a skilled volunteer you should get to know better.<br /> <br /> === Take Your Time ===<br /> <br /> We can't always afford to do everything at once. Creata a '''timeline''' and '''break the project into smaller pieces''' and do that as you have time and as you can afford to do them. Saw dust also shows customers and donors that there is constant change and growth.<br /> <br /> === Stay Open ===<br /> <br /> It is important to maintain your customer service through the everything. Have a BBQ, bring your tools to a local park, provide construction photos on Facebook. All this ensures that the public sees that things are moving along, racing along, rather than being stagnant.<br /> <br /> === Basic Design ===<br /> <br /> * '''Traffic Flow''': retail stores intentionally arrange things to make the customer walk by more things and spend more time in the store. You don't have to be evil about it, but you should still do this to avoid having people walking by expensive tools and also have them funnel past more information about your organization.<br /> * '''Fixtures''': These are what you hang things you are selling or giving away on. Try to get old ones donated from [[Local Bike Shops]]. Consider them an investment not an expense.<br /> * '''Merchandising''':<br /> * '''Color''': Paint the place with color tones that represent how you want the place to feel. Murals are great too, there is probably a graffiti artist in your area that needs to fullfill some community service hours.<br /> <br /> =Ideas to help keep things organized=<br /> <br /> == Shop Layout ==<br /> For ideas on the general layout of of your workspace, see [[Shop Layout]]<br /> <br /> == Storage ==<br /> <br /> * [[Tool storage]]<br /> * [[Part Storage]]<br /> <br /> == Wheel Sorter ==<br /> [[Free Ride]] and the [[Davis Bike Collective]] use a wheel sorter to help new [[volunteers]] figure out the sizes of different [[rim]]s. Two 2x4's are mounted to a rigid backing to form a V shape. Smaller [[wheels]] can rest lower in the V than larger wheels. The sorter is calibrated by placing various [[wheels]] of known size in the V and marking where the [[axle]]s touch the backing. When a [[wheel]] of unknown size is placed in the sorter its axel should lie very close to one of these marks.<br /> <br /> &lt;gallery&gt;<br /> Image:FR_Wheel_Sorter_Empty.jpg|FreeRide's Wheel Sorter]]<br /> Image:FR_Wheel_Sorter_Small_Wheel.jpg|Sorter with a 20&quot; wheel]]<br /> Image:FR_Wheel_Sorter_Big_Wheel.jpg|Sorter with a 27&quot; wheel]]<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> == Color Coded Bike ==<br /> <br /> [[Free Ride]] has a bike mounted near the ceiling of the shop. The major systems of the bike are spray painted different bright colors. Cabinets, drawers, tool drawers, and just about anything else we could think of are marked with matching colors. This makes it easy for [[volunteers]] to figure out what drawer to look in for the part they need.<br /> <br /> &lt;gallery&gt;<br /> Image:FR_Color_Coded_Bike.jpg|The color coded bike<br /> Image:FR_Brake_Drawers.jpg|Color coded brake drawers<br /> Image:FR_Medium_Parts_Drawers.jpg|Color coded medium parts bins<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> <br /> * [http://www.retaildesignassociates.com/ Retail Design Associates]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Shop organization]]</div>
