   Both included the built-in adjusters that allowed riders to adjust brake clearance while riding. MAFAC also supplied rubber lever arm covers as an option. City bike levers were supplied with plastic lever arms. MAFAC produced side-pull brakes in the late 1970s and early 1980s, concurrently with their cantilever and center-pull offerings.

3. Bicycle drivetrain systems - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_drivetrain_systems

   Major changes in bicycle form have often been initiated or accompanied by advances in drivetrain systems. Several early drivetrains used straight-cut gears that meshed directly with each other outside of the hub. [1] [2] Some bicycles have used a double-sided rear wheel, with different-sized sprockets on each side. To change gears, the rider ...

   The rod-actuated brake, or simply rod brake (roller lever brake in Raleigh terminology), uses a series of rods and pivots, rather than Bowden cables, to transmit force applied to a hand lever to pull friction pads upwards against the inner surface, which faces the hub, of the wheel rim. They were often called "stirrup brakes" due to their shape.

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. Dia-Compe - Wikipedia

   In the 1960s the Swiss manufacturer Weinmann supplied Dia-Compe with brake parts. Dia-Compe invented the brake-lever extension in roughly 1969. This was at once widely appreciated by manufacturers including Schwinn, which dropped the use of Weinmann brake sets and adopted Dia Compe brake sets on all models except the Schwinn Paramount.
