Ron Sutphin and Wayne Martin also provided much needed encouragement and feedback. I was fortunate to be able to use the beautifully equipped shop at United Bicycle Institute to research the indexing and spoke length sections. His commitment to making this book accurate and complete is greatly appreciated. Len also contributed the headset and brake sections and helped with the indexing sections and many other parts of the book. (The fourth edition had 243.) I implemented many of his suggestions for improving this section. Leonard Rubin redesigned the tools and measurement procedures, and measured nearly all the 650-plus rims in this edition. We have revised and updated this section from top to bottom to make it more thorough and easier to use. The spoke length section has always been an important part of this handbook. The many details that are important to making indexing work are listed here. Slight adjustments to the derailleurs that used to be made by the rider while riding now often need to be made in a work stand. This edition contains many changes that reflect the changes in the bicycle industry. Much of this data is available nowhere else. The information contained in this handbook was gathered from many sources and involved considerable travel, measuring and study to track down the details that make it valuable. It is a resource for people who work in the bicycle industry and for enthusiasts as well.
