lom zem caij, xyaum ua neej nrog, tab sis ob peb creases xav tau ironing tawm ua ntej no yog lub tsheb kauj vab ci ntsa iab
Carbon thav duab, disc nres, siv tsav tsheb, sab hauv lub hub … yog Carlsberg tau folding tsheb kauj vab ces Austin Atto tej zaum yuav yog lub tsheb kauj vab folding zoo tshaj plaws hauv ntiaj teb.
Raws li nws sawv, Austin Atto thov kom tsawg kawg yog lub ntiaj teb 'zoo tshaj' lub tsheb kauj vab folding, thiab muab nws cov nuj nqis, nws ua qhov rooj plaub. Nws yog tag nrho heap ntawm kev lom zem caij tsheb thiab siv tau los ua neej nyob nrog. Tab sis muaj niggles.
Lub Atto's rap daim ntawv nyeem zoo li cov neeg sib tw saum toj kawg nkaus, los ntawm Fizik Antares eeb thiab cov pa roj carbon bars thiab seatpost mus rau cov pa roj carbon rims thiab 11-ceev Shimano Alfine hub.
Yam khoom kawg no yog qhov tseem ceeb ntawm qhov sib txawv ntawm no, vim nws yog qhov sib ntxiv no uas ua rau Austo Atto sib nrug los ntawm qhov kev tshuaj xyuas no ntawm nws tus kheej-ceev ruaj khov, thiab qhov twg deviates los ntawm Atto's headline billing: 'Folds hauv tsawg dua yim vib nas this. thiab hnyav 7.49 kg'.
Ib txhais tes xyaum tau yeej ib qho kev sib tsoo ib qho Atto hauv ib lub vib nas this, txawm li cas los xij 7.5kg yog kev khaws cia ntawm cov ntawv tshwj xeeb 'Monaco' version, thaum ib leeg-ceev hnyav tau thov 8.3kg. Qhov no Atto Alfine hnyav 10.3kg.
Muab qhov ntawd rau hauv cov ntsiab lus, raws li peb txhua tus paub tias lub tsheb kauj vab WorldTour tsis tuaj yeem hnyav dua 6.8kg, thaum 'Superlight' Brompton hnyav tau thov 11.3kg. Thiab muab tus Atto tawm ntawm txoj kev, 10.3kg txhais mus rau zippy caij.
Ntau qhov zoo ntawm zippy emanates los ntawm lub log, uas yog carbon thiab pom lub teeb pom kev. Lawv kuj tseem muaj 20 txoj kab uas hla, uas kuv xav tias yog qhov chaw qab zib zoo ntawm kev nplij siab, lub zog thiab kev nrawm.
Ntau cov kev sib tw ncaws pob 16 lub log, uas txawm tias nrawm dua nrawm dua, tuaj yeem hnov tsw twitchy nyob rau hauv lem thiab muaj ib tug nyiam mus tsoo ib ncig ntawm ib tug ncaj ncees me ntsis as opposed to lub tais nyob rau hauv uneven av.
Tab sis ceev ib leeg tsis yog lub tsheb kauj vab zippy ua; brakes yog qhov tseem ceeb, thiab ntawm no Shimano Deore disc brakes excel. Raws li hydraulic disc brakes mus lawv muaj pov thawj thiab ntseeg tau, thiab thaum daig rau hauv cov log me me no lawv muab qhov zoo kawg nkaus, muaj tseeb braking.
Qhov no, tom qab ntawd yog Atto lub cev muaj zog tshaj plaws: nws zoo siab heev rau caij. Nws yog nrawm tawm ntawm qhov cim - ntau heev yog li tus phooj ywg nug seb nws puas yog hluav taws xob - thiab nws yuav tig mus rau ntawm 6pence, nws tuav tsuas yog sab xis ntawm nrawm kom muaj zog heev tab sis tsis ruaj khov.
Tom qab ntawd, ua lub teeb thiab tseem muaj 11 lub zog, Atto tau nce thiab dhau txoj kev xav zoo li koj xav kom 'tsheb tuam loj' ua. Nws yeej caij zoo nkauj heev ncig lub nroog.

Easy street
Xyaum tus Atto yooj yim heev nrog nyob. Nws folds mus rau 59cm x 82cm x 36cm (piv rau Brompton uas folds mus rau 65cm x 59cm x 27cm), thiab txawm hais tias nws muaj zog, vim lawv nyob hauv tsis muaj cov khoom nplaum-outie rau bash thiab chim, thiab ib zaug hu rau hauv, hloov. yog du thiab yuav tsum yog tag nrho tab sis hloov kho dawb.
Lub Alfine drivetrain yog nyob ib puag ncig ntawm Gates siv txoj siv tsav, ostensibly ib kiv cua txoj siv-saib yam tsis siv cov saw. Nws hnyav dua li kev teeb tsa ib txwm muaj, tab sis tsis zoo li lub saw tsav nws yuav tsum tsis muaj lubrication thiab yog li muaj txiaj ntsig tiag tiag rau lub ris lossis tiab hnav ris tsho.
Tsis tas li ntawd, nws yuav luag ntsiag to rau kev txhim kho purr uas suab zoo kawg nkaus futuristic thaum pab Atto tuav qee cov kab zoo nkauj heev.
Lwm qhov kov zoo suav nrog Wellgo pedals, uas quav ib yam nkaus, thiab cov pa roj carbon fiber mudguards, uas ua kom yuam kev, saib qhov thiab qhov tseem ceeb tsis txhob rattle. Ergon grips muab cov ntsiab lus zoo, yog li Fizik eeb.
Tuav khoom ua ke thaum folded yog qee cov hlau nplaum loj heev, ob qho tib si zoo huv si thiab zoo, thiab cov clamps rau lub pob khawm muaj qhov txaus siab nyem thiab clunk thiab zoo li muaj zog. Muaj ntau yam nyiam 'xav' ntawm no, ob qho tib si caij thiab folding. Txawm li cas los xij, tsuas muaj ib lossis ob yam uas txhawj xeeb kuv.
kev txhawj xeeb
Ua ntej, lub tsheb kauj vab muaj kev nyiam ua rau creak, thiab qhov laj thawj tseem ceeb yog lub rooj zaum. Cov kab hauv qab, qhov kam rau nruab nrab ntawm txoj kab uas hla ntawm lub rooj zaum thiab lub tog raj txoj kab uas hla yog qhov zoo nkauj lax, ua tau raws li qhov tsis sib haum ntawm tus ncej txav ib ncig ntawm ib qho ncaj ncees me ntsis hauv lub rooj zaum raj, yog li tsim lub suab nrov nrov.
Tsis tas li ntawd, vim qhov no lub rooj zaum dab tshos tau coj tus nqi loj, thiab kuv yuav txhawj xeeb ntawm lub peev xwm ntawm lub rooj zaum lub raj clamping cheeb tsam los tiv thaiv lub sijhawm ntev, tshwj xeeb tshaj yog nyob rau hauv cov neeg caij hnyav - uas ntawm 80kg kuv yog.
Thiab tom qab ntawd dhau qhov no, tus tshaj tawm tsim tawm ntau qhov flex. Hauv kev txiav txim siab nws yuav tsum: nws yog carbon yog li nws tuaj yeem ua tau thiab yuav tsum khoov rau kev nplij siab, tab sis txawm yog li ntawd nws yog qhov khoov me ntsis ntawm cov pa roj carbon monoxide, thiab ntev npaum li cov flex ntws mus rau hauv bob raws li tus ncej tau thauj khoom ces rov qab.
Feem ntau cov bob yog qhov tsis txaus ntseeg thiab tau pab ua kom Atto xis nyob hauv qee lub sijhawm, tab sis ntawm txoj kev rutted tiag tiag lossis cobbles tag nrho cov khoom xav tias me ntsis pogo-ish.

Tseem lom zem - nws muaj tus cwj pwm - tab sis sib npaug tsis yog qee yam kuv yog tus kiv cua ntawm tag nrho. Nws zoo li nkim zog, thiab qee zaum zoo li lub tsheb kauj vab muaj lub tiaj.
Lwm gripe kuv muaj yog nrog rab rawg duab. Nws muaj ib tug pronounced ntug khiav mus rau sab nraud ntawm ob txhais ceg, uas nws tig tawm yog zoo kawg nkaus muab tso rau whacked thiab chipped thaum ib tug tsis nco qab lub caij nplooj ntoos hlav hastily undoes tus steerer kem clamp, whereupon cov tuav viav vias thiab mus rau hauv rab rawg nrog ib tug crunch.
Kuv thov txim heev uas kuv hais tias kuv yog tus neeg caij tsheb nrawm, thiab thaum kawg nws yog tus neeg siv yuam kev, kuv yuav tawm tsam txhua tus tswv kom tsis txhob ua qhov no los ntawm kev sib tsoo ntawm qee lub sijhawm, thiab yog li kuv xav tias nws yog qee yam Austin yuav tsum them nyiaj rau.
Folding bikes yog, los ntawm qhov xwm txheej, tsim los siv txhua hnub, thiab cov pa roj carbon tsis yog tsim los kom muaj kev cuam tshuam. Roj hmab bumper nce rab diav rawg ceg yuav ua nws.
