2. Tubular tyre - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tubular_tyre

   Tubular tyres can be less safe with rim brakes on long descents because the heat generated by braking can cause the glue holding the tyre to the rim to fail. [8] Additionally, excessive heat from rim brakes an cause the tyre pressure to increase so much that the tyre can explode, [9] but this problem also applies for clincher tyres used with ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bicycle_parts

   Skirt guard or coatguard: a device fitted over the rear wheel of a bicycle to prevent a long skirt, coat or other trailing clothes or luggage from catching in the wheel, or in the gap between the rim and the brakes; Spindle: an axle around which a pedal rotates; threaded at one end to screw into crank arms; Spoke: connects wheel rim to hub ...

4. Bicycle brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_brake

   Wheel size optionality with disc brakes allows the rider more options, including using a smaller diameter rim-sized wheel (such as 27.5″+) with a higher volume wider tire with the same outer diameter size as a larger rim-sized wheel (such as 29″) – the outer diameter consistency is important as it preserves the geometry of the frame ...

5. Litespeed - Wikipedia

   Litespeed uses 6/4 titanium, [20] which is an alloy of titanium with 6 percent aluminum and 4 percent vanadium, instead of the more-common 3/2.5 titanium. [21] It is more difficult to work with, but has a better strength to weight ratio than other available alloys. [ 20 ]

6. Brake fade - Wikipedia

   Since they are relatively cheap and easy to install, they are popular with racers and track day enthusiasts. Another technique employed to prevent brake fade is the incorporation of fade stop brake coolers. Like titanium heat shields the brake coolers are designed to slide between the brake pad backing plate and the caliper piston.

7. Motorcycle braking systems - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorcycle_braking_systems

   Aprilia Tuono R front brakes have two floating stainless steel discs with sintered pads, and radially mounted, four-piston calipers. Motorcycle braking systems have varied throughout time, as motorcycles evolved from bicycles with an engine attached, to the 220 mph (350 km/h) prototype motorcycles seen racing in MotoGP. Most systems work by ...

9. Michelin PAX System - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelin_PAX_System

   So although comparable PAX tires were heavier than conventional counterparts, they were not that much heavier (Michelin claims four PAX System assemblies are equal to the weight of 4.7 standard tire-wheel assemblies). However, rotating mass and unsprung weight of the wheels and tires on the ground increased, which is a disadvantage.
