  2. Sheldon Brown (bicycle mechanic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheldon_Brown_(bicycle...

    Brown maintained Sheldon Brown's Bicycle Technical Info, a web site highlighting a broad range of cycling subjects ranging from how to fix a bicycle flat tire to details on Raleigh and English three-speed bicycles, [9] Sturmey-Archer hubs, [10] tandems, [11] and fixed-gear bicycles. [12] He repaired cameras and was an amateur photographer.

  3. Q factor (bicycles) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q_factor_(bicycles)

    Q factor is a function of both the bottom bracket width (axle length) and the cranks. Bottom brackets axles vary in length from 102mm to 127mm. Mountain bike cranks are typically about 20mm wider than road cranks. [6] A larger Q factor (wider tread) will mean less cornering clearance (while pedaling) for the same bottom bracket height and crank ...

  4. Gear inches - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gear_inches

    Such a bicycle was then said to be geared at 60 gear inches and pedalled similar to an ordinary with a 60-inch wheel. Thus on a bicycle geared at 72 gear inches one revolution of the pedals advances the bicycle the distance that a 72-inch wheel would in one revolution.

  5. Bicycle chain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_chain

    Bicycle chains Roller chain and sprocket. A bicycle chain is a roller chain that transfers power from the pedals to the drive-wheel of a bicycle, thus propelling it.Most bicycle chains are made from plain carbon or alloy steel, but some are nickel-plated to prevent rust, or simply for aesthetics.

  6. Crankset - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankset

    Crank length is measured from the center of the pedal spindle to the center of the bottom bracket spindle or axle. The larger bicycle component manufacturers typically offer crank lengths for adult riders from 165 to 180 mm (6.5 to 7.1 in) long in 2.5 mm (0.098 in) increments, with 170 mm (6.7 in) cranks being the most common size.

  7. Chainline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chainline

    Chainline on a fixed-gear bicycle. The chainline is the angle of a bicycle chain relative to the centerline of the bicycle frame. [1] A bicycle is said to have a perfect chainline if the chain is parallel to the centerline of the frame, which means that the rear sprocket is directly behind the front chainring. [1]

  8. Bottom bracket - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bottom_bracket

    The plug is machined to accept a typical bottom bracket, but offset from the center of the plug, so that by rotating the plug, the location of the bottom bracket (and hence the chain tension) may be adjusted (fore and aft to tension the chain, the upper or lower eccentric position for a given chain length can be chosen to fine tune bottom ...

  9. Bicycle gearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_gearing

    The third method, gain ratio, also takes the length of the crankarm into account, which can vary from bike to bike. The fourth method uses two numbers and is only useful in comparing bicycles with the same drive wheel diameter. In the case of road bikes, this is usually around 670 mm. A 700c "standard" wheel has a 622 mm rim diameter.
