2. Q factor (bicycles) - Wikipedia

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

   The Q factor is an important factor affecting how close the pedals are laterally, and therefore the affects the spread of the riders legs. The Q factor or quack factor [1] [2] of a bicycle is the distance between the pedal attachment points on the crank arms, when measured parallel to the bottom bracket axle. [3]

3. Cadence (cycling) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadence_(cycling)

   Cadence can be measured via various types of sensors, for example a simple reed switch and a magnet which detects one revolution each time the crank arm passes a point on the frame, or more advanced sensors based on a force sensor (e.g. pedals), torque sensor (e.g. crank arms) or other types of cycling power sensors.

   The measurement is considered positive if the front wheel ground contact point is behind (towards the rear of the bike) the steering axis intersection with the ground. Most bikes have positive trail, though a few, such as the two-mass-skate bicycle and the Python Lowracer, have negative trail.

   VAM is a parameter used in cycling as a measure of fitness and speed; it is useful for relatively objective comparisons of performances and estimating a rider's power output per kilogram of body mass, which is one of the most important qualities of a cyclist who competes in stage races and other mountainous [citation needed] events.

7. Bicycle gearing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_gearing

   In the case of road bikes, this is usually around 670 mm. A 700c "standard" wheel has a 622 mm rim diameter. The final wheel diameter depends on the specific tire but will be approximately 622 mm plus twice the tire width. Front/rear measurement only considers the sizes of a chainring and a rear sprocket.
