DEAR SIR OR MADAM,— RE RALEIGH AND OTHER FREE WHEELS. HAVING in view the fact that all plain bearings in. cycles were abolished years ago, we did not rest contest until it was demonstrated at the Crystal Palace during the National Show, and admitted by all the principal and independent experts that we possessed THE i BEST ADJUSTABLE BALL-BEARING EEICTIONLESS FREE WHEEL on the market. Plain bearing free wheel gears do not; of course, allow cycles to run as fast as | those with ball bearings, or fixed, gears, ■and they are not adjustable. In time the |. type of plain bearing free wheel gear will also become free both ways, and therefore useless. As this freedom generally happens when the rider-is putting pressure upon bis pedals, he is liable Ito be thrown! Plain bearing free wheel gears have only one advantage, and that j is to the manufacture, who can get them j mad® by cheap labour at less than half the ; cost, and in one-quarter of the . time that lit takes to make ours with ball bearings ! containing 124, perfectly gauged steel balls. It is therefore on account of cheap and quick construction that nearly all : cycle manufacturers, and principal 'makers of cycle parts, are pushing the sale of plain bearing free most of which, not being really free, are bringing free wheeling‘into disrepute. ■ For further information apply INGLIS BROS., WILLIS STREET. 1 , : i'^ r HITCOMBE AND fJtOMBS, LTD. j LATEST I.IST - DP BOOKS. j Napoleon; the Last Phase, by Lord Rosej bery, Bvo, 7s 6d, 'Earl of Rosebery.
