Have you ever pulled up a favorite website and found your name in an article? It is an odd feeling, but when it is about a cool patent application, I will take it.
Well, it is winter again, and with winter in Colorado comes snow. Amazing, beautiful, slippery snow. So great for skiing, of course, but skiing is not what you want to do on the highway! We need traction, and as much as we can get.
A few years ago, there was a terrible accident involving a single motorcycle traveling on the freeway. The cause listed in the police report: Engine & rear wheel lock-up. Terrifying incident!
Beginning as a startup in the Bicycle Industry, Synthesis helped this customer grow to World Cup Winning performance, Tour de France debuts, and many patents. This is a story of Full Service Engineering.
Startup Week is a fantastic event that happens each year in many cities - including here in Colorado Springs. This year (2016) Synthesis presented. So, if you missed it, we have now posted the -shortened - content as an article.
For the past 10 years Synthesis has served as the Engineering Department (and more) for WickWerks (Bicycling Components). Now, after a great adventure, we say "So Long, and Thanks!"
WickWërks Chainrings, by Synthesis. The photo shows a collection of 42 tooth bicycle chainrings (aka sprockets or gears) designed specifically for Mountain Bikes, Road Bikes & Cyclocross.
A flag - Well, a banner - No, a Course Feature. A landmark? OK, we're not sure sure what it is, but it was created by Synthesis for WickWerks as a promotional piece to be used at Bicycle Races like the US Open of Cyclocross and CrossVegas (during Interbike).
When we think of safety on the ski slopes, it is not usually tractors or bright, warm summer days that come to mind. Yet, that is the topic of this cool Engineering Case Study.
