Baramind is the start up of the French bike that climbs going up ....
Created by youngsters who do not want just out of school, hangers Baramind develops anti-vibration shock absorbing. They have patented technology that allows them reduce by more than 50% the vertical forces recorded at the hanger when going over rough terrain. The hangers are designed to use but also road bike through the reduction of musculoskeletal disorders, for comfort.
I met him at the Roc d'Azur and is very sympathetic to me that Tang proposed to test the winter one of the first hanger out of the production chain.
is naturally on my Surly single speed rigid steel all that I can judge the effectiveness of the system.
now I ride with a hanger carbon semi-statements when offering same relative comfort by eliminating the small vibrations.
Baramind For now only has a model plate hanger 31.6 of diameter and 610mm wide, semi-statement released later by 660mm wide. A model of DH 720mm is even in the cartoons.
The arch is composed of a central composite plate at the ends of which are fitted and bonded aluminum handles.
No need to fear about the solidity of the assembly, the hanger has spent all standards and handles withstand 1.4 tonnes of pressure to pull out.
We choose then inserts that are going to function as the cushioning is desired. There are 2 types of inserts, hard with 18mm flex stiffness and favors with 27mm soft flex for maximum absorption.
For this test I'll start by mounting inserts hard up and down (here in blue and white) so you can already assess the benefit of depreciation they offer before proceeding with soft inserts.
The insert is placed on the plate and the tip gets caught in the grip frame.
inserts and the plate are then secured by two pieces of aluminum crossed by two screws.
There are 5 color inserts to customize his hanger;)
Here is mounting over now up to the testing of course I know well and which I'll be able to judge the effectiveness of the system.
Finally a word about the weight is 230 grams on the first series. I do not see this as a handicap to my practice at all rigid single speed.
addicts light should be satisfied with future models whose weight will be around 170 grams.
The hanger is available for purchase directly on the site Baramind to 150 € I believe. It is also being tested in a number of stores in France, see directly with Baramind.
A special mention to the entrepreneurial spirit that drives these young designers, their taste for innovation not only technology but also design and finally a cool attitude and constructive without "is the play." Baramind was awarded two grants to innovation, competition Audi Awards 2008 competition and business business, 2009.
Baramind Alongside the three founders have created their design office Red -Motion specializes in innovative product design taking into account the constraints linked to the human body and movement.
