The magazine reminds readers that the Établissements Driot are also specialized in making plastic handlebar tape (ruban plastique), handlebar plugs (bouchons de guidon), lighting wire (fil d’éclairage), housing for brake and derailleur cables (gaine pour câbles de frein et de dérailleur) and the complete transmission (transmission complète). They supply most of the great marques of bicycles, cyclomoteurs, vélomoteurs and motorcycles.]
