    Cassette: a group of stacked sprockets on the rear wheel of a bicycle with a rear derailleur; Coaster brake or backpedal brake; Chain: a system of interlinking pins, plates and rollers that transmits power from the front sprocket(s) to the rear sprocket(s)

  4. Bicycle chain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_chain

    Bicycle chains Roller chain and sprocket. A bicycle chain is a roller chain that transfers power from the pedals to the drive-wheel of a bicycle, thus propelling it.Most bicycle chains are made from plain carbon or alloy steel, but some are nickel-plated to prevent rust, or simply for aesthetics.

    It consists of one or more sprockets, also called chainrings [1] [2] [3] or chainwheels [3] attached to the cranks, arms, [4] or crankarms [5] to which the pedals attach. It is connected to the rider by the pedals , to the bicycle frame by the bottom bracket , and to the rear sprocket, cassette or freewheel via the chain.

    A step of 7% corresponds to a 1-tooth change from a 14-tooth sprocket to a 15-tooth sprocket, while a step of 15% corresponds to a 2-tooth change from a 13-tooth sprocket to a 15-tooth sprocket. By contrast, car engines deliver power over a much larger range of speeds than cyclists' legs do, so relative differences of 30% or more are common for ...

    Ixion engine on a Komet motorised bicycle, ca. 1902. This system is used, for example, to drive the spools in some tape recorders.In a typical configuration, one of the cylinders is the axle of an electric motor, say 1 mm in diameter, while the other is a disk with a hard rubber rim, say 50 mm in diameter, yielding a 1:50 mechanical advantage.
