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.
Also called the GM small corporate pattern and the S10 pattern. This pattern has a distinctive odd-sided hexagonal shape. Rear wheel drive applications have the starter mounted on the right side of the block (when viewed from the flywheel) and on the opposite side of the block compared to front wheel drive installations.
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).

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 ...
Standard unicycles don't have a chain, which limits the seat height based on how long the rider's legs are, because there the crank is attached directly to the wheel axle. Giraffe unicycles can range in heights from 3 feet (0.91 meters) to over 10 feet (3.0 meters) high.
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 ...
Note: this is commonly called the Ford Small-block V8 pattern, though it is used in some "big block"-sized V8's as well as some V6's and I6's. 200 I6 1978-1983 only, partial (4 of 6 bolts) pattern. 250 I6 (except Australian 250/4.1) 255 V8; 289 V8 - (made after August 3, 1964) - had 6 bolts holding bellhousing to block; 302 Cleveland (Australia)
