  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. Gear inches - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gear_inches

    Both "gear inches" and "metres of development" are concerned with the distance travelled per turn of the pedals, and are ultimately ways of indicating the mechanical advantage of the drivetrain, but neither of them take into account the length of the crankarm, which can vary from bike to bike. The crankarm is a lever arm.

  4. 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.

  5. 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 ...

  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. Derailleur - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derailleur

    Cage length, when combined with the pulley size, determines the capacity of a derailleur to take up chain slack. Cage length determines the total capacity of the derailleur, that is the size difference between the largest and smallest chainrings, and the size difference between the largest and smallest sprockets on the cogset added together. A ...

  8. Bicycle gearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_gearing

    A Rohloff Speedhub hub gear A Shimano XT rear derailleur on a mountain bike A bicycle gearbox with chain tensioner. Bicycle gearing is the aspect of a bicycle drivetrain that determines the relation between the cadence, the rate at which the rider pedals, and the rate at which the drive wheel turns.

  9. 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]
