Freestyle fixed gear is stunt riding on a fixie. It is an extreme sport where the stunts share elements from BMX , artistic cycling , dirt jumping , and trials . The flat ground style of tricks, similar to artistic cycling , is called Trick-Track or Tarck.
A track bicycle or track bike is a form of fixed-gear bicycle optimized for racing at a velodrome or at an outdoor track. Some road racing and club cyclists use a fixed-gear bicycle for training during the winter months, generally using a relatively low gear ratio, believed to help develop a good pedalling style. [5]
I'm all for the fixed-gear article speaking of all things with a fixed-gear-ratio.--radiokillplay 14:06, 5 June 2006 (UTC) I'm against a merge, a fixed bike is just a bike without a freewheel, it can be any type of bike, whereas a track is a very specific type of bike, it just happens to have a fixed wheel/gear.
A great "on road" gear ratio, for the 26″ wheel, is 42:17, approximately a 2.5:1 ratio and 64.2 gear inches for versatile tour riding. Many British enthusiasts used to tour on 27–inch–wheeled lightweights on a single fixed–gear of 69 inches before multi–speed gearing became universally popular, though this certainly made for tough ...
There are several different types of flip flop hubs available for different applications. Their main purpose is to allow changing between two (and only two) different gear ratios on one rear wheel without the added complications of a multi-gear derailleur or internal hub gear, or between fixed and freewheel options. By removing the rear wheel ...
A transmission (also called a gearbox) is a mechanical device which uses a gear set—two or more gears working together—to change the speed, direction of rotation, or torque multiplication/reduction in a machine. [1] [2] Transmissions can have a single fixed-gear ratio, multiple distinct gear ratios, or continuously variable ratios. Variable ...
Crown gear. A crown gear (also known as a face gear or a contrate gear) is a gear which has teeth that project at right angles to the face of the wheel. In particular, a crown gear is a type of bevel gear where the pitch cone angle is 90 degrees. [1] [2] A pitch cone of any other angle is simply called a bevel gear. [3]
For the wide-ratio transmission, the first gear ratio is 4:1 or 4, and in second gear it is 2:1 or 2, so the progression is equal to 4 / 2 = 2 (or 200%). For the close-ratio transmission, first gear has a 4:1 ratio or 4, and second gear has a ratio of 3:1 or 3, so the progression between gears is 4 / 3 , or 133%. Since 133% is ...
