Harm Jansen, former professional bike rider and bicycle accident reconstructionist at Collision and Injury Dynamics, was chosen as the test rider to conduct these tests.
Marketing Claims – tests were done to see if the SURESTOP brake system would not lock up the front wheel in both wet and dry braking, and to see the stopping distance of the SURESTOP system vs traditionary two lever systems. The SURESTOP did not show any signs of failure during this test. Durability testing – tests were run for 1000 miles and 5000+ brake actuations, which historic labratory testing has shown to represent the average quality life span of a comfort bicycle. In 2013, ACT Lab began testing SURESTOP for a few bicycle brands looking to use the technology on their bikes. Despite being intrigued by the solution, John and his team were eager to test all the claims of our technology. In 2010, John co-authored a paper called “Analysis of Bicycle Pitch-Over in a Controlled Environment”, helping him understand the physics of head-over-handlebar accidents. Upon seeing SURESTOP for the first time, John was impressed with the solution to a common problem he in an expert in – bicycle pitch over. The linear-pull brake has since become the most common type of bicycle brake used on bikes today and is the system SURESTOP integrates with. Their impressive client list includes: Trek Bicycles, SRAM, Bell Helmets, REI, Giant Bicycles, Diamondback Bicycles, and many more.ĪCT Lab President, John Bogler, was working as an engineer at Shimano when the company introduced the linear-pull brake (AKA v-brake) to the market in the early 90s.
