Sheldon Brown was a name i heard many times in my years as a bicycle mechanic. His web site http://sheldonbrown.com is a constants source of reference for almost every bike shop. I learned a lot from is extensive wisdom.
Sheldon Brown (July 14, 1944 - February 3, 2008) was an American bicycle mechanic from Boston, Massachusetts. His trademark beard and plastic helmet-mounted eagle, named Igor, were his trade marks.
I was in contact with Sheldon a few weeks ago going over my spoke calculator and working on the new release with him witch he was going to host as a tool on his website.
Sheldon was actually some of the inspiration behind my spoke calculator, I’m glad he got to see it and liked what he saw.
