Tech/Engineering - Sport/Fitness/Erholung / cycling | | Französisch Begriff oder Satz: architecture dégagée aux passages de roues | Calling all you bike gurus again! :-)
This is from the description of the frame of a cyclo-cross bike:
Cadre en aluminium léger, architecture bien dégagée aux passages de roues pour les circuits dans la boue.
Is this simply refering to the amount of space between the wheels and the frame? ( i.e. there is more space to make it easier when the wheels get caked with mud)
Your ideas are more than welcome!
Thanks in advance,

| | generous wheel arches | Erklärung:
or some such thing - in other words as you said - if you look at such bikes, you'll see that the metal arch over the wheel is both shorter and higher than normal.
Since the bikes are used often on muddy paths, this gives greater clearance and reduces the likelihood of the whole thing getting clogged up. |
