[edit] Efficiency

Shaft drive is 5% less efficient - but is this under optimal or real-world conditions? My chain bike ends up not being oiled often enough and probably looses efficiency quite quickly. Is there any data on real-world comparison of efficiency? Actual links to measurements would be fantastic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Roboconnell (talk • contribs) 21:50, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Manufacturers

Just curious but what is wrong with posting manufacturer links? It seems stupid not erase them. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.3.84.36 (talk • contribs) .

Please see WP:EL for external links guidelines and WP:NOT a web directory. --GraemeL ^(talk) 00:30, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Both of those guidelines, as well as other articles, imply that having manufacturer links is okay. Wikipedia is not a web directory, but when there are maybe 2 major chainless bicycle manufacturers, and a tiny number of smaller ones, omitting them seems like a major omission. --151.203.253.181 00:00, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

I agree. I just ordered a Dynamic bicycle and had to search through the old edits to find the URL. So I re-inserted it. I think it is a service to provide this link. Jeff dean 00:07, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Small minds resort to profanity to make a point.
