   Both included the built-in adjusters that allowed riders to adjust brake clearance while riding. MAFAC also supplied rubber lever arm covers as an option. City bike levers were supplied with plastic lever arms. MAFAC produced side-pull brakes in the late 1970s and early 1980s, concurrently with their cantilever and center-pull offerings.

   Shimano STI Dual Control shifter and brake lever: 1. Main lever 2. Release lever A. Pulling the main lever towards the rider applies the brake B. Pushing the main lever towards the center of the bike downshifts one, two or three gears depending on how far the lever is pushed (right hand shifter) or changes from a small chainring to a larger chainring (left hand shifter)

5. Bicycle brake - Wikipedia

   The rod-actuated brake, or simply rod brake (roller lever brake in Raleigh terminology), uses a series of rods and pivots, rather than Bowden cables, to transmit force applied to a hand lever to pull friction pads upwards against the inner surface, which faces the hub, of the wheel rim. They were often called "stirrup brakes" due to their shape.

   In an electromagnetic brake, the north and south pole is created by a coil shell and a wound coil. In a brake, the armature is being pulled against the brake field. (A-3) The frictional contact, which is being controlled by the strength of the magnetic field, is what causes the rotational motion to stop.

9. Derailleur - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derailleur

   To shift gears, the rider first moves the lever enough for the chain to jump to the next sprocket, and then adjusts the lever a slight amount to center the chain on that sprocket. An indexed shifter has a detent or ratchet mechanism which stops the gear lever, and hence the cable and the derailleur, after moving a specific distance with each ...
