Crank length is measured from the center of the pedal spindle to the center of the bottom bracket spindle or axle. The larger bicycle component manufacturers typically offer crank lengths for adult riders from 165 to 180 mm (6.5 to 7.1 in) long in 2.5 mm (0.098 in) increments, with 170 mm (6.7 in) cranks being the most common size.
The first unicycle speed hub for mass production was prototyped in 2004. [8] The first unicyclists were able to test it in 2005. [ 9 ] This hub is equipped with 2 gears: a normal gear (1 wheel revolution for 1 pedal revolution) and a geared gear with a ratio of 17/11 (i.e. approximately 1.55 wheel revolutions per pedal revolution).
A crosshead as part of a reciprocating piston and slider-crank linkage mechanism. Cylindrical trunk guide Hudswell Clarke Nunlow; crosshead and two slide bars. In mechanical engineering, a crosshead [1] is a mechanical joint used as part of the slider-crank linkages of long stroke reciprocating engines (either internal combustion or steam) and reciprocating compressors [2] to eliminate ...

Slider-crank chain inversion arises when the connecting rod, or coupler, of a slider-crank linkage becomes the ground link, so the slider is connected directly to the crank. This inverted slider-crank is the form of a slider-crank linkage that is often used to actuate a hinged joint in construction equipment like a crane or backhoe, as well as ...
In this episode of Bicycling’s Bike Shop, Deputy Editor Tara Seplavy and Test Editor Dan Chabanov discuss “Why Pros Are Ditching Long Crank Arms.” We explore who needs shorter cranks, the ...
Geared unicycle, or GUni, a unicycle whose wheel rotates faster than the pedal cadence. They are used for distance riding and racing. [6] Multi-wheeled unicycle, a unicycle with more than one wheel, stacked on top of each other so that only one wheel touches the ground (nicknamed stacks).
Trial unicycle (), with a white tire to allow indoor riding Nimbus trial unicycleA trials unicycle is a unicycle designed for unicycle trials. Trials unicycles are stronger than standard unicycles in order to withstand the stresses caused by jumping, dropping, and supporting the weight of the unicycle and rider on components such as the pedals and cranks.
