rim notation
Today I saw a rear wheel rim with the
Torpedo 1SP hub. On the rim are the digits 20-635 18/8 * 20 can be the inner rim width in mm * 635 is most likely the rim diameter and familiar ISO/ETRTO tire designation, also in mm * 18 could be the number of spokes, as the rim has 36 spokes (360 degree wheel) and 18*2=36 - but, the sprocket is 18T, so maybe that is it? * 8 - the sprocket diameter in cm? If so, the "18T theory" is more likely. -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 |

I didn't now that in Germany you measure the dick in chromium and nickel percentages... 18-8 is a general designation for stainless steel having approximately (not exactly) 18% chromium and 8% nickel. The term is very none exact and can be used for almost any of the 300 series, 302, 302HQ, 303, 304, 305, 316, etc., which do have different properties. -- Cheers, John B. |

I also found 18 Z 1/2" on the sprocket. I suppose 18 is the number of teeth, and 1/2" is the diameter of the wheel axle hole . On the hub shell, it says 36 which again I suppose is the number of spokes (indeed 18*2=36), but it also says 2.8...? Spokes are 2mm or 2.2mm at the elbow so perhaps it is the spoke hole diameter in mm on the hub flanges? -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 |

18 Z 1/2"
The Torpedo sprockets come in different flavors. The 3SP (Triplex/Dreigang) I have are 19T, the Duomatic is 20T. The letter "Z" is the German "Zahn" for "tooth", plain and simple. The Duomatic has a sprocket, or a Zahnkranz 1/2 x 1/8" aufsteckbar "aufsteckbar" is "attachable" so the inches probably refers to something that has to do with that. It also says (s. Liste Nr. 196.6/8) anyone has that one lying around? -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 |
