Changes Previous Year (2016) / Current Model (2017)
The Siegfried pictured here still has Brooks bar ends (see pictures below), which have proven to be not durable enough for our liking. Since 2017 we are using screwed, silver polished aluminium bar ends.
From 2017 onwards Siegfried, Siegfried Road, Ludwig and Lotte are equipped with anodized rims and stainless steel brake levers, which are protected against corrosion. This 2016 model has silver polished rims and brake levers.

Center Track - belt drive systemCenter Track - belt drive system
Smoothly and quietly riding down the street- only listening to the sweet sound of the noise on the road. Alone the advantages of the belt drive system can make this experience come true. By applying the revolutionary Carbon Drive Technology made and developed by Gates™, carbon fibres are embedded in a polyurethane material, thus enabling the belt drive to outplay the chain. The belt’s superior technological advantages - low noise and zero maintenance - are truly irresistible. Extensive testing of the belt drive has shown that due to the applied high-strength carbon fibre, there is not even the slightest evidence of stretching, which forces you to replace drive components and is commonly observed when using standard chains. Consequently, the belt drive lasts much longer than standard chains and has an expected running performance of approximately 20,000 km (13,670 Miles). All rear-pulleys are exclusively manufactured from hardened steel to guarantee an extensive durability. The patented Mud Ports™ shed even the worst types of debris and keep the state of the art belt drive system in ideal function. Additional testing has revealed that the belt drive is as efficient as a chain. Particularly in the longer term it gives proof of its superior technology advantages to shed all types of debris and wear and to require low maintenance, whereas chains are reduced in their level of efficiency. It is the only drive system that is completely lubricant and maintenance-free. On top of this you can enjoy the freedom of riding your bike without any chain guard or ever having to roll up your trousers again. For putting the belt under tension, the Crocodile-Clamping-System has been developed and patented by Schindelhauer. Apart from ideal functionality, we focus just as much on balanced looks. That’s why all frames are equipped with the also patented Schindelhauer Belt-Port-Technology. This feature does not affect the stiffness of the rear triangle in any way and integrates all technical components smoothly into the design of the bike. Watch out!

Schindelhauer - aluminum frameSchindelhauer - aluminum frame
When fitting a drive belt on a bike, you need an ultra-strong frame and stiff rear triangle. Parts and components made from aluminium are both strong and lightweight, making it the ideal material to use when designing stiff bikes. For this reason, at Schindelhauer Bikes we manufacture all our frames with high-quality 6061 aluminium. For maximum stiffness, each frame is T6 heat treated and for the perfect balance between lightweight design and durability, we use triple-butted aero tubing. What’s more, after we weld the tubes using the TIG welding process, we polish every single joint weld. Known as ‘smooth-welding’, polishing joint welds not only looks clean and neat, but also alleviates stress concentration and improves the fatigue strength of the frame, making cycling even more of a joy. As well as offering top performance and comfort, Schindelhauer loves beautiful, minimal designs, so you’ll always find the headset and seat clamp integrated into the frame design. The forged dropout connects the crocodile-belt-tensioning-system and our in-house developed SBP (Schindelhauer Belt Port). The bike frame is now ready to be fitted with the Gates Drive Belt. We guarantee every frame for five years.

Schindelhauer - crocodile-belt-clamping-systemSchindelhauer - crocodile-belt-clamping-system
The Gates™ belt has to be kept under tension. A task that Schindelhauer’s patented Crocodile clamping system can easily fulfill. The axis is steplessly adjustable by simply twisting the tooth lock washer resulting in an exact adjustment of the belt prestressing. Our primary objective was to develop a system that is easy to handle. By using a 17 open-jaw wrench the conical spring washer is twisted clockwise. The gearing releases the axis backwards, resulting in the prestressing of the belt. The axis is fixed by using an Allen wrench. Singlespeed and Fixed-Gear bikes made by Schindelhauer are equipped with a Crocodile clamping system on both sides of the back wheel. All components used consist of nitro steel and ensure a protection against corrosion. Riding your bike for a hell of a long time in that manner would still see it operating flawlessly.

Schindelhauer - belt portSchindelhauer - belt port
We like the idea of the drive belt blending in with the back frame tri-angle. Unfortunately, the laws of physics prevent that option. Due to Schindelhauer’s patented SBP-System the opening is well hidden and changing your drive belt is an easy task. A fixed connection between seat and chain stay is achieved by applying Schindelhauer’s positively spool piece in wave form, which reflects the design of the drive belt. It can easily be removed and reinstalled. By applying a continuous screw connecting all components, the original stiff state is restored and it looks as if nothing has ever been changed. No more annoying combinations of transmissions or screw connections affecting your eyesight- only the pure aesthetics of the invisible remain. If it involves a Schindelhauer Bike, this application goes visibly unnoticed. We are very proud of that.

Brooks Swift - leather saddleBrooks Swift - leather saddle
It doesn’t get any more classy than this. For decades, bike-connaisseurs have been appreciating this core leather saddle made in England. Once broken in, you can count on this saddle for a lifetime, even if you took it to the end of the world and back. The swift model is of athletic and light appearance and shines due to his chromed seat stays. The hand-crafted copper rivets and cut by hand relief that is embossed in the saddle cover proof the professional devotion of Brooks.

Brooks - bartapeBrooks - bartape
The perforated Brooks handlebar wrapping is made of breathable and long-lasting leather, which is of lightweight and lies perfectly in the hand. Besides, it stands for the quintessence of purism. Therefore, we have chosen the classic way of handlebar wire wrapping over the disdainful handles of modern bicycles. That’s were Siegfried got his personal touch from.

Schindelhauer - urban pedalSchindelhauer - urban pedal
Pedal in style – On our quest for the perfect pedal, we developed the Urban-Pedal. With its flat outline and slip-proof 3M-SafetyWalk tread, a safe stand and ideal force transmission is provided at all times. The light, CNC-shaped pedal is high-end equipped with a CrMo Axle, a sealed bearing and an IGUS plain bearing. Furthermore, it can be combined with our pedal hook set and our pedal straps.

Continental Grand Prix - tiresContinental Grand Prix - tires
A classic tire, custom-made for the traditionalist. The Grand Prix tire by Continental is made from a new compound called “Black-Chili“. This rubber compound emphasizes its quality and has shown and proven its outstanding grip performance on wet or dry surfaces time and time again. Manufactured in Korbach (Germany) the Grand Prix tire has convinced us that it is the perfect tire for a tough Singlespeed-Racer like Siegfried, due to its low rolling friction and light weight.

Tange - integrated headsetTange - integrated headset
The main thrust of all Schindelhauer Bikes is reduction by means of system integration. Even the headset won’t be spared. The cartridge chamber made by Tange is fully integrated and shines due to the waist shaped head tube. The entire bike seems to be flawless due to the smooth transition of bicycle fork and stem. Besides, the bearings are ideally protected against dust and debris.

Tektro - brake systemsTektro - brake systems
The ultra-light dual-pivot road bike brakes with side-pull go perfectly with the classic design of our bikes. Forged aluminum is used to manufacture the brake arms. Optimal delay in dry and wet conditions is achieved by applying angle adjusted brake pads. The easy to handle quick release makes disassembling your set of wheels a piece of cake.

Schindelhauer - flip - flop hubSchindelhauer - flip - flop hub
To make your decision between Fixed-Gear and Singlespeed bike easier, we equipped Viktor and Siegfried with a Flip-Flop-hub. Due to the second pulley you can switch between freewheeling and engaging a gear anytime. Our aim was to develop a stiff wheel which can stand up to tough every day use. First of all, we used a mounting width of 135 mm instead of the standard 120 mm for the Fixed-Gear-Bikes. In this way the spoke flanges moved slightly apart, resulting in a greater spoke support. Another step to achieve a stiff wheel was to apply a freehub body which precisely fits a pulley- after all, that’s all we need. The wheel can be spoked symmetrically. Besides, we apply high-quality industrial bearings, the light aluminum made insert freewheel and high-strength Allen screws to locate the hub to make this hub a technical treat!

Shimano Alfine - hollowtech cranksetShimano Alfine - hollowtech crankset
The Shimano Alfine crankset is excellently suited for applying the drive belt system. For this purpose both the hollow axis and external inner bearings make their contribution towards achieving the essential stiffness that the belt demands. A fixed stop collar enforces a precise belt line, thus ensuring a high durability of the belt. But looks were not neglected here, as the crank sticks out as a visual highlight and further distinguishes the style of the bike.
