Description

The Platform for Your Ideas.

RAL Exposure is the simplest, rule-free single-speed bike.

As for specs, it features durable, hard-to-break chromoly tubing and track ends. All this bike needs is your willingness to pedal and your boundless imagination. Ride through the city and onto the trails.From asphalt to dirt trails. The RAL Exposure is a trail commuter powered solely by your legs and your imagination. (Plus, it comes with a little something extra.)

Back to Analog. Capture the Moment.

Take a step back from the digitized world of efficiency and optimization—there are sights to be seen when you embrace simplicity. Analog has its limitations, its noise, and its quirks that don’t always go as planned. But it is precisely within that imperfection that you’ll find a unique kind of freedom. Just like film or vinyl, every moment is one-of-a-kind.Exposure is a vehicle designed to etch “this very moment” into your memory.

RAW: Ride Alternative Way

Things optimized for high efficiency are fine, but when it comes to hobbies and personal enjoyment, I don’t want them to be made too convenient or simple. Precisely because the world is becoming increasingly complex, we need simple choices. Simple functions, simple standards. Nothing superfluous. You decide what to add and how to ride. That’s where true freedom lies.

TTL: Time To Low-tech

Since our lives are surrounded by digital technology, low-tech things can feel refreshing. Even things considered outdated have their own charm. We know this. Using your own body and wits is far more fun than you might think.

ASA: Almost Satisfied Analog

The fact that you can fix it yourself with a little effort. The fact that there are little tricks to it. The fact that trial and error becomes a source of joy. It’s good because it’s a hassle. It’s fun because it takes time. I believe that is the essential joy of the analog bicycle as a mode of transportation.

RAL Exposureは、あなた自身の「好き」を描くためのカンバスのようなフレームです。
いくつか制限はありますが、基本的にはさまざまな時代のパーツを組み合わせられるよう設計されています。シンプルなデザインとポピュラーな規格を採用しているため、多少の知識とやる気、そして工具があればご自身で組み立てることもできるでしょう。ここでは、完成車をカスタマイズしたり、フレームから組み立てたりする際に役立つTipsを補足します。

▶クロモリフレームの取り扱い

クロモリフレームの天敵は水分です。組み立て前にフレーム内側へ防錆スプレーやグリスをしっかり塗布し、長く使うためのサビ対策を事前に行いましょう。

▶キックスタンドの取り付け

タイヤやクランクと干渉しないスペースが確保できれば、キックスタンドを取り付けられます。取り付けボルトを強く締めすぎるとフレームが変形・破損する可能性があるため、注意して作業してください。
キックスタンドとフレームの間にコットンバーテープやゴムチューブを挟んでぐらつきを防止したり、ボルトに緩み止め剤を塗布することも有効です。ただし最も重要なのは、ボルトの緩みやスタンドのズレがないかを定期的に点検することです。

▶フェンダーの取り付け

豪雨や雨上がりでも快適に走るためにはフェンダーがオススメです。取り付けにはタイヤとフェンダーのクリアランスだけでなく、フレーム側のスペースも必要になります。特にフォーククラウン・シートステーブリッジ・チェーンステーブリッジの3箇所で、取り付けるフェンダーに対して適切なクリアランスが確保されているかがポイントです。

▶フレームとクランクの組み合わせ

左クランクアーム内側から右クランクアーム内側までのクリアランスが約150mm以上のクランクの装着を想定しています。走行中の力でクランクやチェーンステーがしなっても接触しないよう、チェーンステーとクランクアーム内側のクリアランスは約5mmを確保してください。
チェーンリングは最大36Tを想定しています。

▶シングルスピードとリアギアードに対応

付属の「ちょっとしたおまけ」のディレイラーハンガー付きリプレイスエンドを使用すると、リアをギアード仕様にできます。
ただし、フレームはシングルスピードを想定したシンプルなデザインのため、シフトケーブル用アウター受けは備わっていません。後付けタイプのケーブルストッパーなどを使用して工夫してください。

▶チェーンリングのチェーンライン

フレームのチェーンラインは使用するリアハブによって変化します。SURLY Ultra New Hubは53.5 mm、PAUL Word Hubは51.6mm、ギアード用ハブは49mmなど、仕様を確認してください。リアハブのチェーンラインに合わせてチェーンリングの位置を調整してください。
