Staying active is crucial for seniors' health and well-being, but traditional forms of exercise can become challenging with age. Outdoor cycling, for instance, might lose its appeal due to ...
A Rohloff Speedhub hub gear A Shimano XT rear derailleur on a mountain bike A bicycle gearbox with chain tensioner. Bicycle gearing is the aspect of a bicycle drivetrain that determines the relation between the cadence, the rate at which the rider pedals, and the rate at which the drive wheel turns.
The cable housing attaches to a fixed cable stop attached to the frame, and the inner cable bolts to a sliding piece (called a "braking delta", "braking triangle", or "yoke") or a small pulley, over which runs a straddle cable connecting the two brake arms. Tension on the cable is evenly distributed to the two arms, preventing the brake from ...
Basket: it is an optional attachment on a bike and is used for carrying things; Bearing: a device that facilitates rotation by reducing friction; Bell: an audible device for warning pedestrians and other cyclists; Belt-drive: alternative to chain-drive; Bicycle brake cable: see Cable; Bottle cage: a holder for a water bottle
Bottom pull: Commonly used on road and touring bikes, this type of derailleur is actuated by a cable pulling downwards. The cable is often routed across the top or along the bottom of the bottom bracket shell on a cable guide, which redirects the cable up the lower edge of the frame's down tube. Full-suspension mountain bikes often have bottom ...
A chain drive and rear derailleur gear change, the most popular system in use today A shaft-drive with crankset and rear gear hub. Bicycle drivetrain systems are used to transmit power on bicycles, tricycles, quadracycles, unicycles, or other human-powered vehicles from the riders to the drive wheels.
A highsider is a type of bike motion which is caused by a rear wheel gaining traction when it is not facing in the direction of travel, usually after slipping sideways in a curve. [9] This can occur under heavy braking, acceleration, a varying road surface, or suspension activation, especially due to interaction with the drive train. [ 71 ]
Klein held a patent (US 5433465 ) for an improved method of routing cables through the frame of a bicycle, that reduced aerodynamic drag and stress on the frame. [ 2 ] [ note 1 ] The front and rear derailleur cables were routed through the down tube, and the rear brake cable through the top tube, although some models changed in 2002 to top tube ...
