Camber stiffness is a parameter used to describe the camber thrust generated by a tire, and it is influenced by inflation pressure and normal load. [3] The net camber thrust is usually in front of the center of the wheel and so generates a camber torque, twisting torque, or twisting moment. [3]
The cam can be seen as a device that converts rotational motion to reciprocating (or sometimes oscillating) motion. [clarification needed] [3] A common example is the camshaft of an automobile, which takes the rotary motion of the engine and converts it into the reciprocating motion necessary to operate the intake and exhaust valves of the cylinders.
A camshaft operating two valves. A camshaft is a shaft that contains a row of pointed cams in order to convert rotational motion to reciprocating motion. Camshafts are used in piston engines (to operate the intake and exhaust valves), [1] [2] mechanically controlled ignition systems and early electric motor speed controllers.
The Comstar wheel (Properly ComStar - a portmanteau of Composite Star shaped wheel), sometimes referred to as Com-stars and 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.

Single-sided swingarm - a suspension lying along only one side of the rear wheel, allowing it to be mounted to a hub like a car wheel. Also found on scooters , where a robust chain case doubles as the swingarm linking the engine and rear wheel, single-sided swingarms need to be much stiffer and more heavily built than double-sided, to ...
