S & S Torque CouplingsThe Bicycle Torque Coupling System is designed to allow a traditional, diamond style bicycle frame to separate into two pieces without affecting a bicycle's rigidity or integrity. Through use of the BTC System, a professional quality bicycle can be easily put in a yacht, private plane, back of a car, subway, bus, taxi, train, or even on commercial airlines and cruise lines as a piece of regular luggage. However, unlike some travel bicycles that have a compromised ride, a bicycle with Torque Couplings will ride exactly like a bicycle that does not have couplings installed on it.
In actual torsion, tension, and bending tests, the couplings are stronger than the tube frames themselves. Though a frame can be separated into two pieces when the couplings are loosened, they will hold the frame together in perfect alignment, rigidity and safety as a regular one-piece frame when tightened. NOTE: The Bicycle Torque Coupling System should be installed only by qualified, competent frame builders. Improper installation may result in frame failure during bicycle operation AVAILABLE ON NEW OR RENOVATED FRAMES FOR ONLY £375
Additional couplings are £169.00 each. Please contact us via our contact form or call us on 0113 255 9844 to discuss your exact requirements Please Note: During frame repairs a great deal of paint damage accures and your frame may need a respray. For details of our resprays CLICK HERE

The key to the couplings' ability to maintain a frame's strength is the material they are made of and their design - most specifically their precision, tapered teeth that lock out all movement between the two frame sections when the coupling nuts draw the lugs together and are tightened with a spanner wrench.
