Among the many changes that will bs
made in the construction of 81 bicycles
will be the Introduction of chainless ma
chine by of the largest bicycle manu-
facturers. 1t is claimed that the chainless
wheel, which was introduced two years ago
has been improved. Recent trials on this
new style of wheel in New England have
proved successful, il is said. and II seems
likely that in the not very far future. cy-
clsts will be able to discard the present
style of gear Riders have been looking
forward to a perfected chainless wheel for
years, and in the event of such one be-
ing placed on the market it is bound to CO.
Any good mechanic knows that a chain
and sprocket gear is far from being the
most desirable form of mechanism for the
transmission of power. and most riders OF
experience. though not versed in mechan-
les. have had enough trouble with their
chains to have reached the same conclu-
sion-that the chain is the part that gives
the most trouble on bicycle. Many
patents have been applied for and obtained.
experiments of all sorts have been made
with a chainless arrangement. Two sys-
TENS only have appeared susceptible OF
eventual perfection. These are the lever
and clutch and the bevei gear devices The
latter is the most promising.
