If a bike ought to be equipped with a drive belt, it must have a frame with a stiff tail providing a high strength. Aluminum is, as material for component design of stiff bicycle frames, ideally suited due to achieving big cross sections at low weight. That’s why Schindelhauer Bikes has carefully chosen this non-ferrous-metal. 6061 aluminum of high quality is used to manufacture all frames. A maximum stiffness is achieved by T6-hot-age hardening every single frame. The Aero-tube set is triple butted and a fine compromise between lightweight design and durability. After welding the tubes by using the TIG welding process, every single weld is polished. The so-called “smooth-welding” does not only make a good visual impression, but also alleviates the stress concentration and improves the fatigue strength of the frame.
A Schindelhauer Bike will give you pleasure for a long time- that’s our main objective.
The appearance is flawlessly due to the installed cable pulleys, the integrated headset and seat clamp all within the frame. The cable pulleys are installed in small tubes which are welded in the frame. As a result the installation of the pulleys is made simple and there will be no chatter. The forged dropout connects the patent pending SBP- Schindelhauer-Belt-Port as well as the Crocodile clamping system. Now the frame is ready to be fitted with the Gates™- Drive Belt.
