Talk:Velocipede

message: Just for the record, the 1992 computer game The Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Serrated Scalpel, which is set in 1888 and depicts the Victorian age quite impressively, notes that a bicycle manufactured at James Starley's works with Dunlop pneumatic tyres threatens to make other types of velocipedes obsolete. Not that this fills the criteria of a reliable source. --Kizor 21:10, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  yes--boneshaker merge 

message: The text for the Boneshaker section of this article is almost identical to that of the Athelstan Museum's page on Boneshakers.
That makes me think that the section has been plagiarised from their page, although it's possible that it's the other way around! Either way, might be worth looking into to avoid copyright problems. 
E.g.
"There are very few original boneshakers still in existence today, most having been melted for scrap metal during the first World War, and those which do surface from time to time command high prices." - Athelstan Museum
"Few original boneshakers exist today, most having been melted for scrap metal during World War I. Those that do surface from time to time command high prices, typically up to about $5,000 US." - Wikipedia

message: The Presta valve is thinner and is typically only found on road bikes and more expensive bicycles because they can take more pressure. They are also known as "Peugeot" valves, because Peugeot bicycles used to be sold with this sort of valve.

thread_title:  Presta 

message: I have seen (too much, when I was a schoolboy, with bicycle wheel punctures) plenty old-type tires with inner tubes where the valve was attached not to the wheel but to the inner tube, and protruded inwards radially through a hole in the wheel rim. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:51, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Could be any of the types listed - Schrader, Presta, or Dunlop/Woods - all are used as bicycle inner tube valves. If it can be inflated in exactly the same manner as with a car, with a garage forecourt airline (intended for cars) without the need for an adapter, that's a Schrader. If the tip of the valve has to be turned anti-clockwise (undone) to permit inflation, and then turned clockwise (tightened) to seal, that's a Presta. If the stem has separate upper and lower halves, held together by a knurled collar, that's a Dunlop/Woods. 58.8.211.187 (talk) 14:31, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

message: The valves discussed here (at least all of the common types) are poppet valves. It seems uncontroversial that when describing poppet valves, the thin rod attached to the plug is called the valve stem. So, is there another name, less ambiguous, for the piece of equipment being discussed in this article? (Even reversing the words and calling it a "stem valve" might be sensible, but that doesn't mean anyone calls it that.) Or are we just satisfied to talk about a valve stem that has a valve stem inside it? TooManyFingers (talk) 21:30, 13 August 2023 (UTC)

I cannot find a decent reference, but I'm of the impression that sometimes, if not always, these were held as separate championships.

message: I added several article templates, for notability, copy editing, BLP sources and neutrality. I did this because this article is missing any citations and makes some claims about notability that do not appear supported, possibly due to lack of citations. Why is it notable that this person is the only professional BMX biker living in Greenville who is actually from there? While this may be a key fact, it is not clear from the article why this may be so, if in fact this is important to know. Who outside of this article, from a reliable source, can support this as notable?  Without these citations, I whether the article is notable or if so, if the tone could be more neutral.
Just hoping to spur some updates to a biography of a living person or encourage review and revision where needed, so that both the article, and Wikipedia can be accurate and up-to-date. Kind regards,

message: I checked this article to see if it is always the case that having the kickstand down on a bicycle prevents the pedals from moving too far.  This seems like a bit of a design flaw, or perhaps there's a reason for it?  For me, it makes it more difficult to fix chain problems with the bike parked right-side up; with the kickstand up, you have to use a hand or two to hold up the bike.  -- Beland (talk) 06:12, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: That is the case for every side stand mounted near the bottom bracket I have seen. I doubt that it is an intended feature of the design.
