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:

You are not wrong. John Forester is an asshole

He may well be, but he's right about many things too.
Who among us is right all the time? Not me anyway.

c.f. Sen Joe McCarthy, a consummate asshole by anyone's
measure, who was largely proven right by The Venona Papers
in 1993.
