New Penta hub

Wed, 13 Mar 2013 09:48:30 +0000

Penta is a rear hub for use in Race Cross Country and Marathon. It features five bearings for maximum reliability and increased resistance to torsion. Penta was designed in collaboration with professional racers according to “competition” category requirements. The result is a highly reliable and rigid hub for maximum power distribution. The addition of an extra bearing compared to traditional hubs makes Penta truly unique and innovative.

The main frame is created in numerically controlled 7075 T6 aluminium. The central frame is made of 18K IM UD carbon fibre with a unidirectional external weave for maximum rigidity and an internal unidirectional cross weave for increased resistance to torsion. In order to increase absorption of impact stress, Penta was manufactured using a high pressure mould with IMPACT-PROOF resin containing plastic polymers.

Alchemist presents Magneto

Thu, 27 Sep 2012 10:46:27 +0000

For the first time Alchemist prented the hub with Magneto technology (patent pending) at ExpoBici.

MAGNETO is a technology, covered by two Alchemist patents, thanks to which the hub offers continuous performance, the coupling is fast and the hub becomes indestructible. The heart of MAGNETO/’s innovation is the ratchet handling, which given its magnetic strength is no more than that of spring mechanics. Springs constituted the weak point of the hub as it was natural for them to be subject to wear, and over time to lose elasticity, slowing down the coupling and compromising the workings of the hub itself, sometimes causing the ratchets to break and consequently necessitating replacement. Having to access the springs constituted the second weak point of the hub as the seals do not render it completely impermeable to water and dust. In a hub equipped with the MAGNETO system the physical strength generated by the magnets to move the ratchets is practically unlimited over time and offers continuous performance even during coupling. Not having to access the hub cavity for maintenance purposes, it was possible to completely seal it thus rendering it completely indestructible.

Innovation Award 2012

Wed, 12 Sep 2012 12:05:34 +0000

Alchemist distinguished itself during the official contest "Innovation Award" of ExpoBici 2012 thanks to its "level of innovation" in the category Components and accessories with 29'' FRONT WHEEL LEFTY FOR TUBULAR.

The jury, composed of leading experts, selected the winning products in each category starting from a shortlist of more than 60 products in the competition all characterized from high technological and scientific value. The verdict of the jury is available at this link.

The jury surely appreciated and wanted to enhance the handcrafted production system high-tech of Alchemist's Wheel which involves the use a high pressure mould with IMPACT-PROOF resin, which contains plastic polymers that increase the absorption of impact stress.
MTB and Cross Country's experts had noticed that Professionals with the Alchemist wheel can count on important innovations that will help their ventures. The wheel in fact has a nipless area that is strengthened by increasing resistance. The holes are tilted by ± 5° to avoid the spokes bending and to increase torsion rigidity. Holes are tilted in respect to the wheel axis to compensate wheel camber differences due to disc brakes. Only due caution: Should it have a rear mounting, wheel camber compensation should be assembled on the side of the disc brake to compensate the free wheel.

Regarding the response of the official competition of ExpoBici, Sandro Marcorin, creator and founder of Alchemist, pointed out that "The recognition honors us and for a reality that faces the market is even more significant. Our mission is to innovate and be emerged thanks to this feature is a confirmation that we got off on the right foot and at the same time encourages us to continue with the search. In this regard during the fair we will present a new component which I still can not talk about because we are filing the patent. So I invite you to visit our stand. "

Alchemist awaits you in Padova Fiera from 22 to 24 September 2012 in stand H302 hall 5.
