-Bicycle Frames- What Material Suits You The Best+====== HD(CP)² Supersite Quicklooks ======
  
-Shopping for a road bike is not as simple as finding the one which looks great on the rack or the one in your preferred colors. There are different components to look at. Each and every component may even have its very own characteristics that you have to take into considerationThe major part to the bicycle is its framework which binds just about all the components togetherThe quality of bicycle frames would depend on its material and construction. If you want a brand new frame for your fixie bike or even your road bike, you have to know the differences in bicycle frame materials.+Welcome! This site provides near-real-time quicklooks of and general information on the atmospheric profiling stations (supersites) within the BMBF (German ministry for education and research) research initiative [[http://hdcp2.zmaw.de/|HD(CP)²]] (High Definition Clouds and Precipitation for Climate Prediction).
  
-The selection of a good bike usually depends upon your understanding and experience When talking about selecting framestake into account the terrain you would normally be using your road bike for. The body weight as well as style of riding will also be notable factors which affect the selection of the bike frame The bits of the bike frame which you choose should support to vigorous usage and also should support your weight effectivelyA cyclist needs to ensure the structure of the bicycle is suitable because its firmness, if not chosen correctly could test your comfort levels. And just [[http://bicycletutor.comhow]] much exhaustion you can endureAmong other elements one must check for are a frame’s plain-gauge tubing, butting, and welding+Within the largest German experiment to capture the 3D sturcture of clouds and precipitation (the HD(CP)² Observational Prototype Experiment ([[http://hdcp2.zmaw.de/index.php?id=2306&L=9|HOPE]])), the mobile supersites from Leipzig (LACROS) and Karlsruhe (KITcube) will be deployed in the direct vicinity of the Jülich Observatory for Cloud Evolution ([[http://www.geomet.uni-koeln.de/joyce|JOYCE]]) from April-May 2013. The supersites will be complemented with instruments from University of Hohenheim (UHOH), MPI for Meteorology and University of HamburgYou can find a map of the HOPE area with all important measurement sites [[https://maps.google.de/maps/ms?msid=209169813198050019781.0004d365fe3f98dbf1ba0&msa=0|here]].
  
-Steel is a good and often used material for creating various bicycle support frames. Bicycle frames are made of steel as it could be easily bent at the time of fabrication. The chances of easy restoration are more when frames are constructed with steel. In addition, generally they are genuinely comfortable to ride in nearly all conditions.+==== Overview and quicklooks of the HOPE supersites ====
  
-Titanium alloy is normally used for high class bicycle framesA road bike with a titanium body is lighter and is much more shock resistantThe type of material employed in this frame is a lot tougher and but definitely not as compliant as other types of steel alloys. It also gives a high durability to weight ratio. These support frames are hard to bend out of shape and are resistant against corrosion. For many factors, this type of alloy is more pricey than other substances.+  * [[:joyce|JOYCE]]

-Carbon Fiber Frames are the expensive optionThis type body can be readily shaped to the preferred look and feelThis substance can also be customized to endure particular pedaling strainsAt the same period of timethis framework allows flexibleness in other parts for comfortTop end speeds can be achieved because of aerodynamic contour shaped into the carbon fiberThe shortcoming is that carbon fiber support frames could be damaged if mishandledand if they go down the road in a vehicle accident.+==== Other observations ====

-Light weight aluminum frames are being used ever since the 1980’s and were once criticized for having oversized tubes and being bulky. At present, it has now turned out to be one among the most used frames in bicycles. The strength of aluminum attracts cyclists who engage in a whole lot of hill-climbing as well as riding through bumpy terrains. The most favorable material for road bikes is aluminum as it is light in weight, tough and also strong. The downside of lower quality aluminum frames is that it often cannot be restored when it is cracked.
