They can be used individually, as an external derailleur or an internal hub gear, or in combinations such as the SRAM Dual Drive, which uses a standard 8 or 9-speed cassette mounted on a three-speed internally geared hub, offering a similar gear range as a bicycle with a cassette and triple chainrings. Derailleur gears. Cogset; Crankset; Hub gear
In such cases the transfer of forces from the deck to the seat is achieved through one or more linkage members. The suspension module may be of custom design or adapted from the shock-absorbing isolators used in off-road vehicles, trucks, or mountain bikes. Weight restrictions, space limitations, and rider sight-line requirements determine the ...
The suspension rails are connected to the saddle clamp on the seat post and the extra saddle clamp on the rails is connected to the seat raising the seat up an extra 1.5-3 inches taller. The stiffness of the suspension rails are set by placement of the clamps to the fold in the rails. the motion of the suspension is down and back in an arc with ...
A bicycle seat, unlike a bicycle saddle, is designed to support the rider's buttocks and back, usually in a semi-reclined position. Arthur Garford is credited with inventing the padded bicycle seat in 1892, and they are now usually found on recumbent bicycles. [1] Bicycle seats come in three main styles: mesh, hardshell and combination.
Mountain bicycle gearing is often very wide-ranging, from very low ratios to mid ratios, typically with 9 to 28 gears, although some riders prefer the mechanical simplicity and ease of maintenance of single-speed mountain bikes. 29ers are mountain bikes that are built to use 700C or ISO 622 mm wheels.
One standard option for the Brompton folding bicycle is to use a 3-speed hub gear (roughly a 30% difference between gear ratios) in combination with a 2-speed derailleur gear (roughly a 15% difference) to give 6 distinct gear ratios; this is an example of half-step gearing. Some Brompton suppliers offer a 2-speed chainring 'Mountain Drive' as ...
A standard's relationship between footpegs, handlebars and seat gives the rider a comfortable and natural posture. [2] [6] [3] [4] [9] The comfort, ease of control, and safety of standard bikes means that beginner motorcyclists inevitably learn on standard motorcycles; and many experienced riders choose to continue riding this motorcycle type.

A standard cycle may be used, but often a custom cycle is used with special fittings to mount the body; the use of special fittings tends to improve fit and durability, and can also reduce weight. Body-on-frame construction allows flexible configuration: the body may be of any construction, as it does not need to be self-supporting, and various ...
