2. Cogset - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cogset

   The width of early Shimano 6- and 7-speed cassettes was 36 mm, and early 8-speed 40 mm wide. Shimano then changed again and standardised 8-11 speed cassettes on 41.5 mm and second generation 7-speed to 38 mm. The widening of the sprocket carrier on the cassette hubs to 41.5 mm resulted in a decrease in the distance between the hub flanges.

3. Freehub - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freehub

   A freehub is a type of bicycle hub that incorporates a ratcheting mechanism. A set of sprockets (called a "cassette") is mounted onto a splined shaft of the freehub to engage the chain. The ratcheting mechanism is a part of the hub, in contrast to a freewheel, an older technology, which contains both the sprockets and a ratcheting mechanism in ...

4. Hub gear - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hub_gear

   The 14-speed Rohloff Speedhub hub gear, introduced in 1998, has a range exceeding 5 to 1, and is thus comparable in range to 24, 27 and 30-speed derailleur systems (with 3×8, 3×9 and 3×10 cogs front and rear), since the latter have three overlapping ranges often with only about 14 distinct gears. As there is no overlap with the Speedhub, the ...

5. Bicycle gearing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_gearing

   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 ...

6. Three-speed bicycle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-speed_bicycle

   Three-speed bicycle. The three-speed bicycle is a bicycle that uses internal hub gears at the rear wheel hub to provide three gear ratios. Three-speed hubs have been in use since the early 1900s. Though they are heavier than comparable derailleur systems, internal-gear hub systems generally last longer and require less maintenance.

7. Bicycle drivetrain systems - Wikipedia

   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.
