How do the couplers work?
The couplers are the most ingenious piece of engineering on the bike. You simply use the provided wrench to loosen the couplers like unscrewing a nut. Any or all of the middle 3 sections can be removed by simply unscrewing the 6 couplers on either side and reattaching the sections you want. Rumor has it the couplers are stronger at the joint than the bike tubing would be alone. Not an engineer – can’t verify that. Contact S&S Machining for info. The cables are connected using little barrel nuts that also hold the end of the cables – they work flawlessly, and only minor adjustments to the rear deraillieur are needed if the configuration is changed.
