2. Bicycle chain - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_chain

   The chain in use on modern bicycles has a 1 ⁄ 2 inch (12.7 mm) pitch, which is the distance from one pin center to another, ANSI standard #40, where the 4 in "#40" indicates the pitch of the chain in eighths of an inch; and ISO standard 606 (metric) #8, where the 8 indicates the pitch in sixteenths of an inch.

3. Gear inches - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gear_inches

   When "safeties" replaced "ordinaries", chains and sprockets allowed small wheels to be turned faster than the pedal cranks. As result, a 28-inch wheel could be made to move a bicycle at the same speed as a 60-inch wheel. Such a bicycle was then said to be geared at 60 gear inches and pedalled similar to an ordinary with a 60-inch wheel.

7. Crankset - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankset

   Chainrings (also called "chain rings", [11] "chainwheels" or "sprockets", although sprocket is used this way mostly in the BMX community [3]) engage the chain to transfer power to the (usually rear) wheel. They usually have teeth spaced to engage every link of the chain as it passes over; however, in the past, some designs (called skip-tooth or ...

8. Bicycle gearing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_gearing

   In the case of road bikes, this is usually around 670 mm. A 700c "standard" wheel has a 622 mm rim diameter. The final wheel diameter depends on the specific tire but will be approximately 622 mm plus twice the tire width. Front/rear measurement only considers the sizes of a chainring and a rear sprocket. Gear inches and metres of development ...

   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.
