== Wheel size ==

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", 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.

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.
[[need a picture to contrast the two diameters]

=== Why it's not easy ===

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.

=== Guidelines ===

* 622 - 700C, rarely 28" or 29". Although far outnumbered by 26" 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" 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 "fair" 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.

* 630 - 27" 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" 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..

* 559 - Modern/Cruiser 26" or "26 decimal". 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.

* 590 - Old 26" - Three speed or "26 fraction". 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.
* Other sizes. Most other sizes can safely be considered "oddball". One mildly notable size is the kids mountain bike 24" 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" 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" BMX wheels are subject to standards similar to those of 559 wheels.

* 597 - Old 26" - Similar to the "26 fraction" 590, especially in people confusing it with other 26" 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 "26 fraction" 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 "hop" while riding, it could be because the rim is actually sized for 597 - does that 590 actually fit that well onto the rim?

* 650b - A specialized retrofit item...

There have been many different sizes of wheels used on bicycles, but only a few of them are common at the co-op. [[Rim|Here]] is a full list of sizes. It is a good list for reference purposes, but you can learn almost all of what you need to know on this page.

== Common tires sizes ==
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.

=== 559mm ===
Known as: 26", mountain bike size, cruiser size, "26 decimal"
Common sizes: 26 x 1.5", 26 x 1.75", 26 x 1.95", 26 x 2.15"

This is probably the most common size made today, since it's on almost all mountain bikes and most "cruiser" 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" 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.

=== 590mm ===
Known as: 26" x 1 3/8", 3-speed tires
Common size: 26" x 1 3/8"

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" x 1 3/8" 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.

=== 630mm ===
Known as: 27", old road bike tires
Common sizes: 27" x 1 1/8", 27" x 1 1/4", 27" x 1 3/8"

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" tire, although if the bike is very cheap you may wish to use a 27" x 1 3/8" for extra comfort, since people who buy the cheapest 27" bikes (e.g. $50 bikes) are not usually buying them to ride fast.

=== 622mm ===
Known as: 700c, modern road wheels, hybrid, 29"
Common sizes: 700 x 25mm, 700 x 38mm

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 "comfort bikes" and "hybrids", 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.

== Evaluating ==

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:

* Flat spots or other impact damage and how to find them
* How to spot a bead hook on a rim
* How to quickly tell how out of true a wheel is, and see hops
* How corroded is too corroded for spokes
* Finding rounded and/or frozen nipples
* Telling the difference between wheel sizes on wheels without tires attached
* A basic knowledge of wheel sizes and what they're used for

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.

=== Basic Categories ===

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.

=== Tasks for apprentices ===

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.

Quill: rim & tire sizes chart

The '''rim''' is the part of the [[wheel]] that in most cases is what the [[tire]] attaches to.

==Tire and Rim Sizes==

Chart shows most tires and rims, from large to small, fat to narrow.© 2001-2005 bikecult.com

Countless kinds of tires and rims have been made for bicycles. Before tire and rim standards were set by the European Tire and Rim Technical Organization (ETRTO) and adopted c.1970 by the International Standards Organization (ISO), manufacturers in different countries produced their own tire and rim sizes. Most tire and rim sizes are nominal, not always the true measure, just close designations.

'''Bead Seat Circumference (BSC)''', or '''Bead Seat Diameter (BSD)''', where the tire bead seats in the rim, is the most accurate measure.

'''French Metric''' tires are measured by diameter in millimeters, and by width in letters (A is narrow 20mm, D is wide 50mm).

An exception came with narrow 700-size clincher tires designated as C.

'''Fractional Inches''' tire sizes usually fit wheels with European straight-bead rims and British wired-on rims.

'''Decimal Inches''' tire sizes usually fit America hook-bead rims.
*Narrow width tires (18cm to 25cm or 1-1/4" to 7/8") usually fit hook-bead rims. 
*Yellow rows indicate rim, tire and tube sizes commonly found, particularly in the United States.

SLCBC BikeEd Marketing Proposal

2012-08-06T16:16:40Z

Quill: rv spam

Here are the objectives, specific demographics, and marketing mediums:

== Objective ==

The purpose of defining these demographics is '''not''' to label every type of cyclist. It is to label types of cyclists that would take advantage of BikeEd if they knew about it. It is also to determine the best use of a finite advertising budget by picking mediums that appeal most to our desired demographics.

== Demographic 1: Children (via Parents) ==

This is going to be our biggest demographic. There are more 'families' in Utah than any other demographic. Also the parents will cross over into the other categories we have. As such we probably want to focus our budget on this group.

=== Message ===

Safety. Safe parents have safe kids.

=== Mediums ===

Commercial Radio Ads, Billboard Ads, TV Ads, Tabling [http://www.utahsafekids.org/ Safe Kids], Speaking at PTA Meetings, Speaking at Boy / Girl Scout Meetings, School Newsletters

== Demographic 2: Bicycle Commuters ==

We aren't talking about the bike messenger wanna-be, as they are unlikely to take the course no matter what we do. These commuters are the slightly older, mostly male (although we hope to change that), demographic with enough income to afford decent lights, clothing, and bicycles. They don't drive, so they don't see too many billboards or listen to the commercial radio.

=== Message ===

Camaraderie. Meet your fellow die hards, share war stories, and get involved in the bigger Salt Lake cycling picture.

=== Mediums ===

Public radio, UTA Advertisements on TRAX and buses, Flyers and posters at shops.

== Demographic 3: Recreational / Fitness Riders ==

They only ride on the Jordan River Trail or in spin class. Their goal is to keep in shape and/or shed a few pounds.

=== Message ===

Learn how to lose a few pounds the fun way. Learn how to be safe and feel comfortable riding on the road with traffic.

=== Mediums ===

Flyers, Gym Bulletin Boards, Commercial Radio Ads

== Demographic 4: Sport Riders (Roadies) ==

These are the competive cyclists that don't think they have anything to learn from a bicycle safety class. This group remains dependent on the car to transport their body, but owns top dollar road bikes and can compete in Lotoja.

=== Message ===

A Challenge. Think you can Group Ride? We shall see.

=== Mediums ===

Race/Event promoter websites and informational packets, Flyers and posters at shops.

== Demographic 5: No Other Option ==

This is the person riding in the snow, not because they are hardcore, but because they have no other option. Either it be income level or a D.U.I. They will most likely be riding a cheaper bike. Generally speaking they are overlooked and broad population which makes them hard to market to.

=== Message ===

Yes! You ARE a cyclist. Here are some resources and free stuff to make the ride easier.

=== Mediums ===

Court mandated, steeper fines for riding on the wrong side of the road with the condition of dropping the fine if they take the course. Posters at pawn shops, department stores, thrift stores and public service locations.

== Demographic 6: People who don't ride ==

They know how, but they haven't done it since they were a kid.

=== Message ===

Re-discover the fountain of your youth!

=== Mediums ===

Mass media.

== Advertising Mediums ==

Contribute to this Wiki

2012-08-04T22:30:57Z

Quill: Category:Main

==Should I contribute? ==
Yes, absolutely! If you are comfortable with adding content to the wiki, then go for it!

==How should I get started?==
The first thing you should do is [[Special:Userlogin|Create an Account]].

Once you've created an account, you should use the search bar or visit the list of [[Community Bicycle Organizations]] 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.

If you want to help out and need some direction, a good place to start would be to look at the [[Special:WantedPages|most wanted pages]]. Start creating these pages if you know anything about the subject, or if you feel that the content should be linked elsewhere (such as [http://www.wikipedia.org/ Wikipedia] or [http://www.sheldonbrown.com/ Sheldon Brown]) you can edit the original article to remove it from the list.

==How do I see if my Bike Collective or Bicycle Organization is included in this wiki?==
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.

==Can I edit any page?==
Yes! Anybody can edit (nearly) any page. To start editing any page, just click on 'edit' tab at the top.

==How do I create a new page?==
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]]!

If you want to link to a word that is not necessarily bike related, but deserves a definition. Try to see if it's on [http://www.wikipedia.org wikipedia] first. You can link to it using the external link.

==What information should be on the page for my Bike Collective or Bicycle Organization?==
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.

If you're not sure where to start with the formatting, you can copy and paste this template and fill in the blanks:

<pre>
[[Image:Your_Logo.jpg|thumb|Your Bicycle Organization]]

'''Your Bicycle Organization''' is a blah blah blah, with a mission to blah blah blah, etc.

==Mission Statement==

==Services Offered==

==Contact Info==
Your Bicycle Organization
123 Bicycle Street
Your Town, State, Country

==Website==
* http://www.yourwebsite.org/

[[Category:Community Bicycle Organizations]]
</pre>

See more editing tips [[Help:Editing|here]].

==What information should NOT be on the page for my Bike Collective or Bicycle Organization?==
Again, anything goes, but it's best to avoid including details that will likely be out of date soon. Things like hours of operation, board members, and costs to the user should be easy to find on your website, including them here will only cause you to have to update the page more often. However, including that your shop is generally open 50 hours a week or the names of founders or long term executives would be fine.

== When should I use those square brackets? ==
Using square brackets around a term will create a link to a page about that topic. If the page doesn't exist yet, you or anyone else can create it at any time.

The best time to use these on your collective's page is when you mention a service. For example:
<pre>
We have been providing an [[Earn-a-bike program]] since Nov. 2008.
</pre>

No need to go into too much detail here, the user can find out more by clicking on the link. If your program is different than most however, please add your information to the linked page so that a user can see all of the possibilities without having to search through all collective pages.

==How do I upload files or photos?==
# [[Special:Userlogin|Create an Account]]
# Go to the [[Special:Upload|Upload File]] page.
# Click on the '''Browse...''' button
# Browse and double click your file (ex: Filename.jpg) or hightlight it and click the '''Open''' button.
# Click the '''Upload file''' button. You don't need to include a summary or choose a license if you're unsure.
# Now that it is uploaded you can use '''<nowiki>[[Image:Filename.jpg]]</nowiki>''' in your wiki pages to display it.

==I have some content, but I'm not sure about all this formatting code.==
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.

==I've added some content, but something doesn't look right!==
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).

==I've read this guide, but I'm still not comfortable adding content to this wiki!==
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.

==I'd like to speak to an administrator, please!==
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]], [[User:Quill|Quill]] , and [[User:Godwin|Godwin]] are generally available.)

Quill: UK Bike Gathering

'''Bike!Bike!''' is an annual international conference of nonprofit bike collectives and other bicycle projects. It began in 2004 in New Orleans and has been hosted by a different city each year since.

== Location ==
The location changes from year to year with a different shop or collective hosting.
In addition to New Orleans, Bike!Bike! has been held in San Francisco, Pittsburg, Minneapolis, Toronto, San Marcos, and Vancouver.

With [[Bike!Bike! 2013]], New Orleans will be the first city to host a second time.

== Date ==
Generally Bike!Bike! is held at some point during the summer months, starting on a Thursday and ending the following Sunday.

== Funding ==
Most of the funding required to host Bike!Bike! comes directly from registration fees collected from participants from the previous year. The fee is a suggested donation, usually between $25 and $45.

== Responsibilities of the Host Project ==
A host can generally run Bike!Bike! in whatever way they may please but over the years some key features have become expected by many from the host project.

*Providing food
*Organizing workshops
*Providing accommodations (organizing billeting)
*Providing bikes for those who can't bring their own
*Providing directions to the venues, and around town
*Organizing group rides
*Throwing a dance party

Recycled Tube Chair

== Bring a Chair Back to Life With Old Inner Tubes ==

[[Image:Inner_Tubes_to_Weave_Chair.jpg|right|thumb|UBP brought this chair back to life with old inner tubes]]

A good way to recycle old inner tubes. Weave them back and forth and tie off on each end to create a comfy seat for a broken chair. Some of the tubes will split eventually (see picture) but these will be easy to replace.
