Smoothly and quietly riding down the street- only listening to the sweet sound of the wind and the noise on the road. Only the advantages of the drive belt system can make it come true and the experience of riding it is in a class of its own. The idea of using a drive belt for force transmission by bikes is almost as old as the drive belt itself. The level of efficiency using conventional drive belts consisting of steel, aramid and fiberglass wasn’t very sufficient and satisfying. Only by applying the revolutionary carbon drive technology made and developed by the company Gates™ enables the drive belt to out play the chain. The superior technological advantages from low noises via freedom from maintenance right to the incredible durability of the Gates Carbon Drive™ are to die for.
Every single bike made by Schindelhauer is equipped with a highly specialized drive belt system. The Crocodile-clamping system specially developed and patented pending by Schindelhauer Bikes makes to re-stress your drive belt unnecessary. Apart from the optimal functionality we focus just as much on a balanced aesthetic. That’s why all Schindelhauer Bikes are equipped with the also patented pending SBP-Technology - the so called Schindelhauer Belt Port. Not only is changing your drive belt done easily, but is additionally visually hidden right in the back dropout. The advantages of the drive belt system are the following:
Durability & Strength
Extensive testing of the drive belt has shown no evidence of stretching which forces you to replace drive components and is commonly observed by using standard chains. Consequently the drive belt lasts nearly 3 times longer than even the most durable standard chain and has an expected running performance of approximately 22.000 km or 13.670 Miles. The patented m&d Ports™ shed even the worst types of debris and keep the drive belt optimal functional. Efficiency
External test have shown that the drive belt is as efficient as a chain. Besides, in the longer term he gives proof of his superior technology to shed all types of debris and wear, whereas chains are reduced in their level of efficiency. Lightweight
Standard chain weights vary around 300 to 400 grams. The Gates Carbon Drive™ weights a measly 70 grams. Maintenance
It is the only drive system that is completely lubricant-free. Additionally, it offers you a maintenance-free product by using the drive belt system. Clean
Enjoy the freedom of riding your bike without any chain guard or ever having to roll up one’s trousers again. Smooth & Quiet
No clatter, chatter or the slightest noise- Listen to the sound of Revolution! If you have had the chance to ride one, you know exactly what we are talking about- pure riding pleasure stays with you for a lifetime. You find more information about the belt drive system in our frequently asked questions (FAQ) and on the webpages of Gates Carbon Drive.

Why is the belt more durable than the standard chain?
A chain consists of multiple links which all sooner or later wear out. In the course of time the chain suffers from stretching. As a result the level of efficiency is markedly reduced and after about 4000 to 5000 km (2485 to 3107 Miles) you must replace your chain. The belt consists of a composite material compromising polyurethane and carbon fiber. Unlike the standard chain, the Carbon Drive™ Poly Chain® belt does not see “stretch” over the course of its life-cycle (about 22.000 km or 13.670 Miles) and retains consistent efficiency over time. Does the drive belt system surpass, in its efficiency, a well lubricated standard chain?
First of all, both drive systems have to be compared by terms of an equal affliction. Friction loss develops between the individual chain link joints. If those joints move relatively to one another under load, it results in friction at the hinge. To draw the conclusion that the level of efficiency is reduced under load. Besides, the crank is put into motion real easily with a bike standing. By contrast friction loss develops using the Poly Chain® belt exclusively of inner friction by the polyurethane basic material. According to this the level of efficiency under load or without remains the same. In comparison with a well lubricated standard chain the drive belt is during operation approximately 1% less efficient. Nevertheless, has to be mentioned that the level of efficiency of the chain is rapidly reduced in no time at all. Lack of care and maintenance makes things even worse. Whereas, the drive belt retains consistent efficiency without any maintenance. How is the drive belt reacting towards debris?
The pulleys at front and back are both equipped with so called m&d Ports™. The debris is pressed out through those openings. As a result the m&d Ports™ shed even the worst types of debris and guarantee an accurate functionality of your drive. It has to be said that Schindelhauer Bikes are exclusively designed and intended for road use only. Can every bike be fitted with Gates Carbon Drive™?
The answer is clearly no. The bicycle frame must be adapted in order to make use of a continuous belt. That means that the back frame triangle has to be opened for mounting the belt on the drive end. Usually that’s taking place either on the seat stay or dropout. Schindelhauer Bikes has developed his own distinctive system- the Schindelhauer-Belt-Port. How elastic is the drive belt?
Whilst accelerating the belt, the belt will remain stiff yet agile. If you are waiting for the rubber band effect take effect as with old belt systems, you will be disappointed. The carbon fiber gives the belt a high level of rigidity. The power transmission is therefore performed more directly. When has the belt to be replaced?
The company Gates™ provides the end-user with a gage to make checks of pulleys and belt. Typically the wear begins taking its toll at the much smaller back pulley, because it’s used much more and rotating more quickly. The life-cycle of a belt is approximately 22.000 km or 13.670 Miles. What material is used for manufacturing the belt?
As basic material serves polyurethane in which the carbon-tensile fibers are embedded. Aircraft aluminum is used to manufacture the pulleys. Additionally, a wear protective coat, a so called “metal spray”, is applied. Does the belt see “stretch“ over the course of its life-cycle?
The belt does experience a minimal stretching due to the carbon-tensile fibers settling during the embed process in the early stage of its application, but afterwards it does not see an additional “stretch”. We already take stretching while mounting into account, meaning re-stressing has become redundant. Can the belt possibly slide down?
That is not going to happen, because the belt pulleys have against each other offset stop rims. They are mounted inlying at the front and externally at the back pulley. Due to the high level of cornering stiffness of the belt, both stop rims keep him in track properly.

Cool. Very sleek looking

I bet must be very expensive too.

S$2000-S$2500 for cheapest model.
In the photo with mountain in the background, you can see the m&d guard, schindelhauer made the best looking m&d guard ever, very thin, very shiny, very sleek. the leather handpedals looks sexy.

click the handpedals, best looking one i ever seen on bicycle. I want one too.

Very nice.

Must really feel very good to own something so well-designed and well-made

Storck Fascenario 0.6

An ultimate bike with a price tag to match. The Storck Fascenario 0.6 boasts integrated brakes and weighs just 6,003g fully built with Campagnolo Super Record EPS

Storck’s New 12lb Fascenario, Revised Absolutist and Entry Level Scenero Carbon Road Bikes


Storck Bicycles has some interesting things going on, and not just with their bikes. Sometime between now and next April, they’ll be announce their own U.S. distribution company called Storck Bicycles USA and parting ways with Hawley…and Chris Sugai from Niner is part of the new set up (it’ll be run entirely separate from Niner, so, no, they’re not starting to make road bikes). Dealers can order from the new company already.

Now, about those new bikes. The all-new Fascenario 0.6 above is the highlight for 2011. They claim it’s the lightest bicycle fuselage at about 1,700g for frame, fork, brakes, cranks and headset. MSRP is $9,000 just for the fuselage, and about $15,000 as shown.
