Before epicyclic gears were used in bicycle hubs, they were used on tricycles. Patents for epicyclic hubs date from the mid-1880s. [5] [6] The first patent for a compact epicyclic hub gear was granted in 1895 to the American machinist Seward Thomas Johnson of Noblesville, Indiana, U.S.A. [7] This was a 2-speed but was not commercially successful.
Belt-driven bicycles and their repair or replacement parts are scarcer at shops than bicycles with conventional chain. Front and rear pulleys or sprockets must be well aligned to avoid excessive friction and wear. A chain is more flexible in this respect. [8] Compared to a chain, belts are typically run at a much higher tension.
Hub gear: a gearbox mounted inside the hub, 3-speed is common, 5, 7 are available ("Sturmey-Archer"), Enviolo makes a CVT, and Rohloff makes a 14-speed hub. Cable operated by one or two cables; Indicator: a turn signal; Inner tube: a bladder that contains air to inflate a tire. Has a Schrader, "Woods"/"Dunlop" or Presta valve for inflation and ...
The Rohloff Speedhub is an epicyclic internal hub gear for bicycles, developed and patented by Rohloff AG. It has been manufactured and marketed by that company since 1998. [ 1 ] The Speedhub 500/14 has 14 equally spaced, sequential, non-overlapping gear ratios operated by a single twistgrip .
All Sturmey-Archer gear hubs use epicyclic (planetary) geartrains of varying complexity. The AW is the simplest, using one set of planetary gears with four planets. The AM uses three compound planets with differently sized cogs machined from a common shaft to engage the gear ring and sun gear separately, while the close-ratio three-speeds, and hubs with four or more speeds, use multiple ...
Manufacturers have a team of technical engineers, writers and illustrators who compile information for these service manuals. Some companies create aftermarket repair manuals for the general public to purchase such as Clymer Haynes [1] and Triple M FZCO. [2] These manuals are also generally available as online auto repair manuals.
Troubleshooting is a form of problem solving, often applied to repair failed products or processes on a machine or a system. It is a logical, systematic search for the source of a problem in order to solve it, and make the product or process operational again. Troubleshooting is needed to identify the symptoms.
