Emanuel, with all due respect, have you
considered buying a book?

These are the ones I have acquired or borrowed
from the public library. The road bike books
obviously don't cover the Torpedo rear hub, and
the Swedish books are mechanically at a lower
level than that, the Dutch one maybe covers it
but I don't read the language - it has some
good illos tho so I wouldn't rule it out.
"Effective cycling" I gave up on as it was so
boring to read with very few illustrations and
a tiresome focus on policy/traffic issues which
I can't influence anyway.

You might consider a review of basic principles and prior art besides
consumer 'how to' books:

The book _Bicycles & Tricycles, An Elementary Treatise_ is probably
interesting only to those who love the history of engineering. It was
written well over 100 years ago. I enjoyed finding out what they knew
back then - which was quite a lot - but it's not useful for fixing a bike.

You are not wrong.Â* John Forester is an asshole


Forester's book is also not the best for learning to work on a bike. But
the book was absolutely ground breaking, and those of us who actually
ride on public streets and roads owe Forester a great debt. He's devoted
his life to preserving cyclists' rights to the road and teaching
cyclists how to handle traffic.

His online personality is prickly indeed; but he's a brilliant thinker,
and most attacks against him come from the "bicycle facility complex."
That's the idealists who imagine we can and should build a segregated
network for bikes, parallel to our existing network of streets, and the
designers who make their money by deluding the idealists and selling
their services to cities.

When people point out that's not possible, or that the yearned-for
designs create difficult problems, those folks get nasty.
