Update: A front-derailleur clamp for braze-on front derailleurs, like the BBB ShiftFix, might be an even better option than the seat clamp. I especially like that an FD clamp hinges open; this eliminates the risk of marring the finish of the handlebars when sliding the clamp over the thicker part. Another big plus is the lack of an inner lip that has to be filed off. I’ll definitely try one on a future project and report back.| Tegowerk

For those looking to inject a dose of rebellion into their cycling wardrobe, I have the answer: it’s called Cycle Punks.

These bikes are inspired by classic models from the past but use modern engineering to offer a blend of style, comfort, and power. With new models available in 2025, riders can find options that combine vintage looks with today’s technology and performance.

No, I’m not that aero yet, I’m talking about chain wax. I’ve been meaning to ditch chain oil for a while now, because I’m really fed up with cleaning my drivetrain and un-gunking the jockey wheels all the time. Wax also doesn’t turn into abrasive paste when it meets road dust, which means the drivetrain should also last longer, so double win, yay. Here are a couple of before photos.| Tegowerk
Have you ever tried taking your hands off the handlebars while riding your bike? Scary, innit? The bars start wobbling all over the place, and images of the front wheel suddenly becoming perpendicular to the rest of the bike–followed immediately by you making like the payload of a catapult–start flashing through your mind in great big neon lights. A couple of years ago I resolved to learn this skill for myself.| Tegowerk
When I was a child, growing up in post-communist Romania, very few people owned cars1, and those that did usually had some real clunkers2. Every single weekend some neighbor would be outside from dawn to dusk, banging and fixing on his car for the umpteenth time, trying to get it road-worthy for the week ahead. This bike and I have developed a similar relationship, only instead of fixing it, I keep making changes to it.| Tegowerk
I briefly mentioned this bike before, when I talked about how I got into bike repair. The bike was “analog” back then, but my wife has meanwhile developed some problems with the tendons on one of her feet, which have impeded her ability to climb hills on the bike. So I’ve built her an e-bike! Whenever the decision to get an e-bike comes up, one of the first questions to answer is do I buy a dedicated e-bike, or do I convert my existing bike?| Tegowerk
What is it exactly that’s so great about riding a singlespeed? What draws people to it, and what makes them abuse their own knees like that? I’ve built and ridden a couple of singlespeeds recently, and I’ve been thinking about what makes them so much fun. Part of it has to be nostalgia, of course. Most of us have fond memories of a particular bike from our childhood, and chances are pretty good it was a singlespeed (if not a fixed gear).| Tegowerk
I had the pleasure of taking apart and servicing this cool piece of cycling history for one of my builds recently, so I decided to take a couple of pictures and write a few words about it. The SRAM Automatix was1 a truly automatic internally-geared hub. Unlike a regular kickback hub, where you have to pedal backwards to engage the gears, the Automatix shifts automatically based on your speed. Here’s the gist of how it works: a couple of pawls inside the hub are being pushed inwards (towards...| Tegowerk
It was the 28th of June, 2020; the perfect summer day. I remember it distinctly because of two important events that took place on that day. The first was the unfortunate discovery that I am highly sensitive to the venomous hairs of the Oak processionary caterpillar. If you’ve never wished you could use a cheese grater to remove the skin off your arms and legs just to be rid of the itching, then you can’t really understand how I felt for two whole weeks that summer.| Tegowerk
Earlier this week a park I like to walk through was suddenly fenced off and preparing for a thing. The fences had “Electrify Expo” signage on them, as did some banners over the street.
