Modolo Drop Handlebar
MODOLO X-TENOS 6 BENDMade in Italy, the X-Tenos 6 bend bar adds a bend on each side of the traditional drop bar in the downward curve. This added bend creates a short, straight section that is more comfortable to the palm and knuckle line than the traditional round bend. The 6 bend is made from 7075-T6 aluminum alloy tubing. At the ends, its outer diameter is 23.7mm and its wall thickness is 1.69mm. The wall thickness will vary because of bends and the center bulge throughout the handlebar. A 100mm long center section is bulged to a 26.0mm outer diameter to fit the industry standard 26.0mm I.D. road stem. The straight area of the top section is 260mm long. Both the front and the rear of the top section and the first half of the forward curve have a groove pressed into them. The front groove is to recess the brake and shift cables if Aero styled brake or brake/shift levers are used. The rear groove makes a flat styled surface for the palms to push against when riding on the top of the bar. The 6 bend has center to center drop of 168mm. The flat section at the absolute bottom of the bar is 3.5" (90mm) long, the short straight reaching the downward bend is 2.5" (65mm) long. The Modolo X-Tenos 6 bend is anodized in Silver or Black. The Silver model is available in 40 cm, 41 cm, 42cm, or 44cm widths. The Black version has three widths, 40 cm, 42 cm, or 44cm. The X-Tenos 6 bend in Silver with a 44 cm width weighs 322.5 grams. The bulged center and added bends make this bar somewhat more pricey. Width-40-41-42-44 Silver$ Price in Catalog Width-40-42-44 Black $ Price in Catalog |

In-depth Information About Metals Aluminum Aluminum is extracted electrolytically from bauxite ore. It is made by the electrolysis of aluminum oxide which is found in larger concentrations within bauxite ore. Bauxite is a mixture of the hydroxides of aluminum, together with other impurities such as oxides of iron, titanium, and silicon. Bauxite is produced by the weathering and change of aluminum silicate rocks usually found in tropical and semitropical regions where climate has produced an accelerated weathering process. Bauxite is not a rare ore and is widely available in the US, the Caribbean, and Europe. Approximately 4 pounds of read the full article... Beryllium Beryllium is a specialty metal that is steel-grey metal in color, with an extremely low density, making it very light weight. At 1.85 grams to the cubic centimeter, its density compares to that of magnesium. It is also a high strength metal, making it possible to design light weight, thin membered parts with ahigh stiffness. A column made of beryllium to support a load placed directly downward on top of it, will have a greater load carrying capacity, and be lower in weight than any other metal of equal size. Until the 1950's beryllium was used read the full article... Titanium The element titanium was discovered in 1763 by an English cleric, William Gregor who was an amateur chemist with an inquiring mind. It was in the black sands of Cornwall that he discovered the new element that had up to that time, attracted little scientific interest. A few years later, an Austrian, Klaproth, extracted the same element from an ore widely known as "rutile", which is a mineral consisting of titanium dioxide (one titanium atom, two oxygen atoms), that is a reddish-brown substance with a slight metallic luster. While rutile is the highest grade read the full article... Metallurgic Hardness Testing There are three types of tests used with accuracy by the metals industry,they are the Brinell hardness test, the Rockwell hardness test, and the Vickers hardness test. Hardness is the property of a metal which gives it the ability to resist being permanently deformed (bent, broken, or have its shape changed), when a load is applied. The greater the hardness of the metal, the greater resistance it has to deformation. Since the definitions of metallurgic ultimate strength and hardness are rather similar, it can generally be assumed read the full article... |
