Transfil is situated in the heart of France, at the base of the volcanoes where nature thrives in splendour. This region is also a genuine ground for innovation and know-how. Diversity of pleasures, diversity of uses, diversity of needs. A cable is composed of an inner core and an outer core. The inner core is composed of one steel thread surrounded by 6 threads making one strand. At this point, a simple strand or multi-strand cable can be produced. The composition of a single strand cable is (1+6) + 12 = 19 threads, and a multi-strand is (1+6) x 7 = 49 threads. Lasers have been set in place to increase production as well as to control the diameter on a permanent basis and in case of any anomalies stop the machine. Each laser sends out the information acquired to a central computer unit where statistics and analysis can be retrieved.
Transfil's bike cable technology benefits from the same research and innovation that has been developed when producing control cables for the French car industry. These specific cables are tailored to provide optimised performance and longevity when used with a tandem bike that's equipped with Shimano drop bar brakes. A total of 19 individual wire strands make up these cables. They are compacted, smoothed and galvanised steel wires to ensure outstanding and consistent performance.

This provides a significant step up in stiffness while maintaining comfort for all-day riding. Laces offer multiple ways to adjust tension across the foot. Perforated holes on the top of the shoe increase breathability. The perforated tongue also helps increase airflow, and shapes over the foot for added comfort. The upper is robust, protecting against contact with the terrain or bike, and the toebox can accommodate a slightly wider forefoot, or a thicker pair of socks for cooler weather rides. Fitting notes dhb shoes fit true to size. This means they often come up smaller than other cycling or triathlon shoes. We recommend you buy these shoes one size smaller than your usual cycling shoe size.
