| This information, except for
the column on the far right, was compiled from sales catalogues and correspondences
with. tube manufacturers and importers in the early 80's. It's possible
to special order some tubes in different thicknesses and tapers for almost
every tubeset
listed In this table The tubes listed here are the ones you're most likely
to encounter. |
| Butting configurations are read
as follows: |
|
| plain gauge 0.9 single
butted 0.9/0.6 double butted 0.9/0.6/0.9 triple butted 0.9/0.6/0.8 quadruple
butted 0.9/0.6/0.7/0.8 |
| |
In addition to being single
butted, the steering columns for each of the following tubesets contain
straight or helical reinforcing ribs to better resist torsional (twisting)
stresses: COLUMBUS RECORD, KL, SLX, SL, SP, OR; ISHIWATA 015, 017, 019,
EXO-L, EXOM, MTB; SUPER VITUS 980, VITUS 181; TANGS PRESTIGE, TANGS CHAMPION

| 2. The " TYPE(s) OF CYCLING" and "MAXIMUM
RIDER WEIGHT" columns are intended to be only rough guidelines. Each
of these can vary depending upon frame size, expected frame life, desired
performance characteristics, weight, etc. |
