Skirt guard or coatguard: a device fitted over the rear wheel of a bicycle to prevent a long skirt, coat or other trailing clothes or luggage from catching in the wheel, or in the gap between the rim and the brakes; Spindle: an axle around which a pedal rotates; threaded at one end to screw into crank arms; Spoke: connects wheel rim to hub ...
A freewheel clutch is now used in many motorcycles with an electric starter motor. It is used on many combustion-engined mowers. It is used as a replacement for the Starter solenoid (or the older Bendix drive) used on most car starters because it reduces the electrical needs of the starting system and gives reduced complexity.

The Shimano Front Freewheel (FFS) was a proprietary bicycle drivetrain design of the 1970s that placed a freewheel between the pedal cranks and the front chainrings – enabling the rider to shift gears while coasting. [2] FFS rear freewheel is different than a standard freewheel because it's "stiff" with more friction than a normal rear freewheel.
There are a few different variations of flip-flop hubs for BMX bikes that are different from the track style. The most common type of BMX flip flop hub has standard ISO freewheel threads on one side and smaller metric BMX threads (30 mm x 1 mm) on the other side that are designed to work with smaller 14T to 15T BMX freewheels.
The Comstar wheel, sometimes referred to as Com-stars or stylised as ComStar, [1] [2] was a composite motorcycle wheel that Honda fitted to many of its motorcycles from 1977 [3] [4] to the mid 1980s. Its design allowed it the option of being fitted with tubeless tyres and its use on the Honda CX500 was the first time tubeless tyres had been ...
Freehub vs freewheel hub. The freehub concept answers several drawbacks encountered with the freewheel design: Freewheels are threaded onto an axle hub, using conventional right-hand threads. As the bicycle rider pedals, the freewheel is continuously kept tight, as chain torque is in the right-hand direction. This becomes a problem when the ...
China's top diplomat said on Tuesday he hoped the incoming Trump administration would "make the right choice" and work with Beijing, hours after Donald Trump told reporters the COVID-19 pandemic ...
If used with a screw-on freewheel, a special hub with a left hand thread for a special freewheel must be used, which is also threaded left hand and ratchets the opposite direction of a normal freewheel. If the freewheel and hub were threaded with right hand threads, the torque applied by pedaling would loosen and unthread the freewheel from the ...
