has the preference among bicycle max
ers. and will continue TO be used. Many
makers OF high-grade bicycles turn out
wheels with grips that are not proper
ly secured TO the handle-bar. The
same fault is also found with tires
that are not securely fastened to the
rims These faults are quite as notice
able among high as low-grade wheels,
and indicate too much haste in turning
out the wheels from the factories.
