Last weekend I upgraded our #cargobike with a new fork.
Originally it was equipped with a #Suntour #Mobie, which was pretty much the only available option for a long time. Unfortunately the Mobie is a very simple construction (steel springs w/ friction dampers) and not built to last.
However, small German manufacturer #BikeTechnology (yes, that's their company name) now entered the market with a high quality upside-down cargo fork.

A couple of days passed before I remembered exactly where I'd carefully stored the old freewheel that I wanted to install on my new wheel.
The old freewheel is a Suntour which I rode around with briefly over 20 years ago before I replaced it with something else for some reason that I can no longer remember. I didn't throw this nice part away - it emigrated with us.
The name now belongs to a Taiwanese company, but the original Suntour was Japanese. They were very innovative and made high quality parts for reasonable prices. My freewheel is from the early 1990s. It's a quality part with replaceable sprockets (I remember bike shops having a choice of sprockets back in the day) and it has a quiet clutch mechanism. Nice. No tick tick tick when free-wheeling.
Suntour had their own indexed gearing system and in principle this isn't supposed to be compatible with Shimano's SIS, but with a bit of careful adjustment it's working more or correctly.
Of course I'm still going to take apart the freehub from the other wheel and see if I can fix that as well. It's nice to have a spare.

Not that anyone REALLY cares, but Suntour axles of this era require M10x1.0mm nuts, which are not easy to find... except for some reason, at Home Depot (tomorrow's task). They are $7 for 2 at bicycle stores, $2.50 each from McMaster-Carr or 20 for $12, $$$ from eBay, but $1.25 each at Home Depot, if they have them. So off to Home Depot I go, after I repack the bearings (when I have light to work outside). All the parts were soaked in degreaser for a few hours to remove how many ever decades of hardened grease. (scavenging a used wheel would be cheaper, yes -- standard 26 inch MTB wheel - Suntour 7x3, would need to match the 7 speed). #bikerepair #suntour #vintage

#Lastenrad-Bubble aufgepasst:
Der Ingenieur Christoph Kern (u.a. Geschäftsführer Technik und Produktion bei #Magura) ist mit seinem Unternehmen #BikeTechnology gerade mit eigenen Federgabeln in die Serienfertigung gestartet. Darunter ist auch eine #CargoBike-Federgabel in vier unterschiedlichen Ausführungen. Endlich gibt's eine hochwertige Alternative zur in mehrfacher Hinsicht billigen #Suntour #Mobie! 😻
