Caution! Sharp! Schlumpf chamfering tool
What do Swiss bike gearing systems and American solar-lit bongs have in common?
In Chico, CA, it seems to all make sense, as, after a good 16 years chamfering bottom-brackets for Schlumpf installations, our old chamfering tool just wasn't cutting the metal like it used to. After searching high and low in Sacramento (unsuccesfully) to find someone with the tooling to set a new keen edge on the cutting tool, we finally found the right guy in Chico.
Clearly, searching low was not the right approach, but Tom took a break from marketing his latest (patented) invention in order to rejuvenate the Schlumpf tool.
Thanks, Tom, and good luck marketing your invention.

Azub will be at AlphaBENT on Wednesday, October 23 to show the latest Czech recumbent technology. Come to for test-rides, and bent-talk.
Catrike has made wider hubs with through-axles standard equipment on all large-wheel models. This change affects the following recumbent trike models: Expedition, 559, Dumont, and 700. The change promotes laterally stronger wheels and prevents movement within the dropouts under load at the expense of compatibility with equipment such as electric hub moters that are designed to the older 135mm dropout widths.
