Bike geometry parameters: wheelbase, steering axis angle, fork offset, and trail. Bicycle and motorcycle geometry is the collection of key measurements (lengths and angles) that define a particular bike configuration. Primary among these are wheelbase, steering axis angle, fork offset, and trail.
Bike steering axis angle, fork offset, and trail. A factor that influences how easy or difficult a bike will be to ride is trail, the distance by which the front wheel ground contact point trails behind the steering axis ground contact point. The steering axis is the axis about which the entire steering mechanism (fork, handlebars, front wheel ...
The term fork is sometimes also used to describe the part of a bicycle that holds the rear wheel, [1] which on 19th century ordinary or penny-farthing bicycles was also a bladed fork. On most modern bicycle designs the rear wheel is now attached to a rear triangle comprising the seat tube , a pair of seat stays , and a pair of chain stays ...
A caster is a wheel mounted to a fork, with an optional, additional offset steering joint. An omnidirectional wheel (Mecanum wheel, Omni wheel, or Swedish wheel) is made of a large central hub with many additional smaller wheels mounted along the perimeter such that their axes are perpendicular to the central wheel. The central wheel can rotate ...
The basic definition is also known as WAULT to expiry to make the distinction clear. Depending on the market conditions, one might desire a high or low WAULT. For instance, if the rental market is strong and rents are rising, a low WAULT is desirable as that indicates that the current leases are going to expire or renegotiate in the short term ...
Offset is said to be "left" or "right" relative to someone standing on the chainage line who is looking in the direction of increasing chainage. Plans would often show plan views (viewed from above), profile views (a "transparent" section view collapsing all section views of the road parallel to the chainage ) or cross-section views (a "true ...
Lateral and subjacent support, in the law of property, describes the right a landowner has to have that land physically supported in its natural state by both adjoining land and underground structures.
An exaction is a concept in US real property law where a condition for development is imposed on a parcel of land that requires the developer to mitigate anticipated negative impacts of the development. [1] The rationale for imposing the exaction is to offset the costs, defined broadly in economic terms, of the development to the municipality. [2]
