keeps a record of the seasons mileage
and not for legitimate pleasure of wheel
ing. But since so many married men
have taken to bicycling the cyclometer
has not formed a popular part of their
outfit. 1t is a tell tale. A man takes his
wheel after supper, his better half asks
him where he is going, and he replies that
he will probably take a l0-mile run. Per-
haps he meets a friend and they stop at
the club. Late in the evening he rides
home, informs his wife that he has ridden
about 20 miles and goes to sleep with Il
peaceful mind. But his better half just
looks at the cyclometer. That little insig-
nificant dial betrays its owner. 1t does
not tell a falsehood. Result, the unpopu-
larity of the register in certain quarters.
There are many improvements on the
high grade wheels which do not show to
general inspection. one, for instance, is
found in the spokes. The old way of
making them was to butt-end the wire,
and then cut a thread with the ordinary
die. The best spokes nowadays have a
rolled thread. In other words, the spoke
wire is put through rolls so constructed
that the thread is compressed up. BY
this process the outer portion of the metal
is not cut away, and it is well known that
the nipple will not bind If it is turned be-
yond the thread, for where the thread is
rolled out is larger in diameter than the
wire. 1t is not generally known that the
spoke wire is a better quality of steel than
that used in pianos. 1t is, and costs con-
sideFably more.
