   A rigid 2002 Trek 800 Sport mountain bike An elastomer suspension stem. Bicycle suspension is the system, or systems, used to suspend the rider and bicycle in order to insulate them from the roughness of the terrain. Bicycle suspension is used primarily on mountain bikes, but is also common on hybrid bicycles.

3. Coupling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupling

   An improvised flexible coupling made of car tyre pieces connects the drive shafts of an engine and a water pump. This one is used to cancel out misalignment and dampen vibrations. Rotating coupling. A coupling is a device used to connect two shafts together at their ends for the purpose of transmitting power. The primary purpose of couplings is ...

4. Stem (bicycle part) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stem_(bicycle_part)

   Threadless stems allow for the lighter carbon fiber or aluminum alloy steerer tubes, and hence a lighter overall bicycle. Threadless stems can be changed with a single allen wrench. (Some quill stems also use a single allen wrench.) The threadless stem's centering can be adjusted without disturbing the handlebar height.

5. Disc coupling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_coupling

   Single disc style couplings are composed of two hubs (the ends of the coupling, which are typically made from aluminum, but stainless steel is used as well) and a single, flat, stainless steel disc spring. Double disc style couplings are also composed of two hubs, but has an additional center spacer sandwiching two disc springs. The center ...

6. Universal joint - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_joint

   A universal joint (also called a universal coupling or U-joint) is a joint or coupling connecting rigid shafts whose axes are inclined to each other. It is commonly used in shafts that transmit rotary motion. It consists of a pair of hinges located close together, oriented at 90° to each other, connected by a cross shaft.

7. Kinematic coupling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematic_coupling

   example of a Maxwell kinematic coupling. The principles of this coupling system were originally published by James Clerk Maxwell in 1871. [2] The Maxwell Kinematic system consists of three V-shaped grooves that are oriented to the center of the part, while the mating part has three curved surfaces that sit down into the three grooves.
