Races

What does "Six days of New York (with Piet van Kempen)" mean, it has no context. Was Piet van Kempen on his team, or was he a competitor? --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 01:07, 4 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Six days races are run in teams so it would have been with him. Severo^TC 05:19, 4 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Back-pedaling?

The article says "Shifting gears required back-pedaling", but this is what Egg's Supoer Champion did not require, as the fork mas placed on the lower run, i.e. before the chain came to the rear sprocket (just as on today's bikes). It is true that the first models had it on the upper run, thus making back-pedaling necessary, but not from 1934 and onwards. The text as it is written in the article is confusing (as the image clearly shows that the fork is placed on the lower run and thus back-paedaling would not be of any help to shift the gear). Need a reference? Perhaps here. Episcophagus (talk) 08:48, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
