## Articles & Blog Posts

- [The end of proprietary?
 – November Bicycles](/content/blogs/blog/the-end-of-proprietary/index.html): We've been asked a bunch recently if the rims we use in our carbon disc builds are proprietary. They aren't, which we tried to make absolutely clear in announcing them, but which doesn't need to be plastered all over their product pages.  The reason you would do a proprietary rim is to bring a unique element or benefit (1,065 words)

- [One bike, two sets of wheels
 – November Bicycles](/content/blogs/blog/one-bike-two-sets-of-wheels/index.html): Spring has sprung a leak. We in New England briefly saw the sun on Sunday (I was in Maine, it was still cold), and that's been about it since forever. The poor people riding Rasputitsa on Saturday got slaughtered with cold, rain, and snow. Enough with the hard-o stuff, us softies need some warmth and sun, please.  Thou (1,580 words)
- [The Rail Prototype Wind Tunnel Data and Calculations
 – November Bicycles](/content/blog/2013/1/21/the-rail-prototype-wind-tunnel-data-and-calculations-html.html): Our primary objective in sending 9 wheels to the wind tunnel was to see where the prototype of the Rail stacked up against our existing wheel offerings as well as the Zipp 404 Firecrest clincher. The challenge when you are sifting through the pretty substantial amount of data generated at the tunnel is how to present i (1,100 words)
- [Some good news on availability, lead times and customization
 – November Bicycles](/content/blogs/blog/some-good-news-on-availability-lead-times-and-customization.html): Welcome back to the site. If Google Analytics is telling the truth, most of you haven't been here in a bit. That's on us - we haven't been doing much here on the blog to bring you back. But we haven't been entirely idle. We've got some changes and updates that I'll take you through. The biggest update is on availabilit (829 words)
- [6 Bolt Disc Rotor Shim
 – November Bicycles](/content/products/6-bolt-disc-rotor-shim/index.html): Our center lock disc rotor shims are awesome, but what if you're trying to shim out a 6 bolt rotor? Use these. Made by Syntace, they have the same .25mm thickness as our center lock shims. Sold in a pack of 8. (147 words)
- [Wheels now ship in 3 weeks.*
 – November Bicycles](/content/blogs/blog/wheels-now-ship-in-3-weeks/index.html): That's it. That's the blog. *In most cases. We're fully stocked on rims but our forecasting needs more recent data. It's highly likely that the rims we think we will sell the most of in the next few months will languish, and some sleeper hit we never expected will emerge. If that happens we'll update lead times on the  (319 words)

- [Tubeless Valves
 – November Bicycles](/content/products/tubelessvalves/index.html): Tubeless valves by Stan's. With a tapered gasket for reliable first time sealing and a removable valve core for easy inflation and sealant top-ups, the originals are still the best. Black are aluminum (slightly lighter), silver are brass (won't ever break). GOAT, Hotfoot, GX24 and alloy rims use 44mm length RCG and All (186 words)

- [Tubeless tape
 – November Bicycles](/content/products/rim-tape-for-tubeless-and-clincher-tires/index.html): The tape we use on every tubeless or clincher rim we sell, it's like Colt 45 - works every time. You can buy the private labeled stuff for 10 times as much, but it's the same tape from the same place.  Thinner than conventional rim tapes, tubeless tape makes installing any tires easier on any rim - not just for tubeles (219 words)

- [Rail 55-18i
 – November Bicycles](/content/products/rail-55-18i/index.html): A long time favorite for people who like to go fast on pavement, the Rail is our wind cheating rim brake wheel. It's 55mm deep, 18mm internal/25mm external wide, tubeless ready, and has a grooved brake track for better braking. Still phenomenally manageable in cross winds. Ideally paired with a true 25mm tire (GP5000 2 (471 words)

 – November Bicycles](/content/pages/our-wheelbuilding-process/index.html): There are many ways to build a wheel, but we believe that our patented* 11 step process is the best.

- [In support of a Tires-First approach
 – November Bicycles](/content/blogs/blog/in-support-of-a-tires-first-approach/index.html): I mentioned last time that a lot of the value we add is not actually in providing wheels to customers, but helping them decide which wheels will most make them happy. That's deliberate language - "make them happy," consciously different from "perform best" or "last longest" or "go fastest"' or "look most awesome on the (1,017 words)
- [Personal identity and hub color
 – November Bicycles](/content/blogs/blog/personal-identity-and-hub-color/index.html): I've noticed that cyclists (along with runners) are unique in the way they talk about their participation in their sports. More often than not, we actually call ourselves "cyclists" (or "mountain bikers"), instead of saying that we like to ride bikes. I know a lot of people who play golf and tennis and soccer and hocke (763 words)

- [November in the wind tunnel: "semi-aero"
 – November Bicycles](/content/blogs/blog/november-in-the-wind-tunnel-semi-aero/index.html): Tunnel testing alloys was actually more exciting for us than it should have been.  While a lot of people choose to buy builds from us with the rims on test, this essentially amounts to a "public good" test, simply because these rims are so widely available.  The excitement mostly came from the fact that the internet wa (882 words)
- [Wind Tunnel Test of Discs v Rim Brakes, pt 1
 – November Bicycles](/content/blogs/blog/wind-tunnel-test-of-discs-v-rim-brakes-pt-1/index.html): On June 24th, we had a good idea. We had a trip to test a bunch of stuff at A2 planned out, the results of much of which we've published previously. Since we'd seen a rise in road disc wheel activity, we thought the time was right to include Rails with discs. It's such a small step from ignorant guessing to knowing, al (1,632 words)
- [Aerodynamic Drag of Lasers vs CX-Rays
 – November Bicycles](/content/blogs/blog/aerodynamic-drag-of-lasers-vs-cx-rays/index.html): One of the things we've learned is that offering choices invites questions. One we get all the time is the difference between Sapim Lasers and CX-Rays, which we offer in all our wheels. Or rather, the question really is whether CX-Rays are worth the extra money. The answer we've always provided is that the spokes are t (921 words)
- [A game of millimeters
 – November Bicycles](/content/blogs/blog/a-game-of-millimeters/index.html): I'm using the analogy in the title ironically. Which is to say I'm using it wrong. Vince Lombardi famously referred to football as "a game of inches" which he then qualified with "and inches make the champion." The cycling industry LOVES that concept because it gives them license to create, market and sell rims that a  (854 words)

 – November Bicycles](/content/products/cafe-racer-46-22i/index.html): Life's more than just going fast, you want to look the best doing it. The Café Racer is most at home on the road (actually it's most at home up the road) thanks to the 46mm depth, but it's more than happy to pretty up your cross and gravel adventures, too.  Thanks to its light weight (less than many carbon rim brake cl (624 words)
