2. Bicycle brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_brake

   Squeezing the brake lever tightens the cable against the channel to produce braking friction. [49] A return spring slackens the cable when the brake lever is released, no adjustment is required, and the brake becomes more forceful when wet. Husted said his inspiration was the band brake used on industrial machinery. [50]

3. Bicycle drivetrain systems - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_drivetrain_systems

   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. Most also include some type of a mechanism to convert speed and torque via gear ratios .

4. List of bicycle parts - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bicycle_parts

   Brake: devices used to stop or slow down a bicycle. Rim brakes and disc brakes are operated by brake levers, which are mounted on the handlebars. Band brake is an alternative to rim brakes but can only be installed at the rear wheel. Coaster brakes are operated by pedaling backward; Brake lever: a lever for actuating a bicycle brake

5. Shimano Total Integration - Wikipedia

   Shimano STI Dual Control shifter and brake lever: 1. Main lever 2. Release lever A. Pulling the main lever towards the rider applies the brake B. Pushing the main lever towards the center of the bike downshifts one, two or three gears depending on how far the lever is pushed (right hand shifter) or changes from a small chainring to a larger chainring (left hand shifter)

6. Shifter (bicycle part) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shifter_(bicycle_part)

   A bicycle shifter or gear control or gear levers is a component used to control the gearing mechanisms and select the desired gear ratio. Typically, they operate either a derailleur mechanism or an internal hub gear mechanism. In either case, the control is operated by moving a cable that connects the shifter to the gear mechanism.

7. Electronic gear-shifting system - Wikipedia

   The electronic system's controlled motion overcomes these problems. The Di2 can also trim the front derailleur to eliminate chain rub and calibrate itself to adjust for wear and tear. [16] Finally, the entire 7970 groupset weighs approximately 113 grams (4.0 oz) less than the 7800 it replaces but 68 grams (2.4 oz) more than the new 7900. [17]

8. Bicycle handlebar - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_handlebar

   For this reason, certain handlebars are now available in multiple sizes related to the shifter or brake lever clamp diameter. Standard road drop handlebars (including track, cyclocross and touring bars) use a 23.8 mm (15 ⁄ 16 in) grip/lever diameter, which is matched only to road bike type shifters or brake levers. This diameter is usually ...

9. Bicycle gearing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_gearing

   Bicycle rear wheel showing front and rear derailleurs, and rear cogset. External gearing is so called because all the sprockets involved are readily visible. There may be up to 4 chainrings [10] attached to the crankset and pedals, and typically between 5 and 12 sprockets making up the cogset attached to the rear wheel.
