Several years ago, SP hubs were made by a company named KT. I don't know
when that business relationship ended but since it ended, SP hubs have been
made elsewhere. As far as I know, there is no SP factory as such. They are
all being made under contract with some hub manufacturer.

FYI the “braking assistance” as they refer to it in the app can be adjusted for

The learning curve for cranks and bottom brackets can be quite steep and
expensive. Especially back in my day when Google was a book or magazine page
you tracked down and hoped you understood the grainy pics. Good times!

Thanks for the heads-up Roberta. I bought a used one not long ago and it does
not have this handy feature. But, it’s so useful and fits just right under my
Brooks saddle. I hang my reflective triangle on it and ease on down the road.

Yes, you can. I didn't figure out torque specs from some kid at the LBS telling

Great news Leah! Okay I said I wanted a Cheviot. But lately I’ve been looking

I'll need new tires for my 622 All Rounder soon and will likely go with one of the Rene Herse offerings. The Antelope Hill looks nice and everything I've heard about them has been good. My AR doesn't get a ton of miles so longevity of the tires isn't a huge concern for
