(Namensgeber ist Pedro JERONIMO) hat mich gebeten, noch ein paar Informationen zur Firma und zu dem neuen Modell JERONIMO "Chabardo Ti 120 AVP - JRF" (siehe oben in nuts´ Bildergalerie und im JERONIMO Cycles
) hier einzustellen. Ich denke, dass ich diese gleich ohne Ãbersetzung in Englisch bringen kann.
JERONIMO Cycles is a small bike manufacturer located in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands (Spain) that exclusively designs custom titanium frames. Someone could say that our custom hard tails are similar to other brands, and thatâs probably true, but our full suspension models are really special because the systemâs kinematics are custom tailored, too. Thatâs something that you donât see everyday, and the main reason why we use titanium. You canât do that grade of customization with carbon fiber.
The C120 model that you can see in the pictures uses a virtual pivot system that can easily be tuned. The lower link configuration gives us a lot of freedom, so we can play with it and adjust the amount of anti-squat needed in each case. Tall riders need around 25% more anti-squat than smaller riders, and you have to take all the gearing possibilities as well as the fitness level of each customer into account. Sometimes the difference between two riders is huge and that's why you can't make everyone happy only with one standard configuration.
The leverage ratio is a very important parameter, too. We take into account the customer´s riding style, the body weight, and the type of shock that we are going to use.
This special C120 model shown in the picture gallery for example was designed to fit a tall rider, not very aggressive on DH, who wanted to use a 2x10 gearing...
But anything else is possible, itâs a 100% custom design!

Das beschriebene Ausmaà des Customizing - mit maÃgeschneiderter Hinterbaukinematik durch Feintuning der Hebelage (hier: unterer Hebelarm des Systems mit virtuellem Drehpunkt) zur Anpassung des Anti-Squat - ist mir von keinem anderen Hersteller bekannt.
Eine Kommunikation mit Antonio und Pedro von JERONIMO Cycles ist hier im Forum in Englisch, Französisch und â natürlich â Spanisch möglich.
Es gibt sie noch, die unbekannten Bike-Schmieden. Jeronimo Cycles? - "Nie gehört!" dachte ich bis vorgestern. Einen verständnislosen Blick auf die nur spanische, aber zum Glück reich bebilderte Homepage später denke ich: Jeronimo Cycles? "Hoch interessant!"
