  2. Q factor (bicycles) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q_factor_(bicycles)

    Q factor is a function of both the bottom bracket width (axle length) and the cranks. Bottom brackets axles vary in length from 102mm to 127mm. Mountain bike cranks are typically about 20mm wider than road cranks. [6] A larger Q factor (wider tread) will mean less cornering clearance (while pedaling) for the same bottom bracket height and crank ...

  3. Gear inches - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gear_inches

    A commonly used metric alternative is known as metres of development or rollout distance, which specifies how many metres a bicycle travels per revolution of the crank. Typical gear ratios on bicycles range from very low or light gearing around 20 gear inches (1.6 metres per revolution), via medium gearing around 70 gear inches (5.6 m), to very ...

  4. Crankset - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankset

    Compact chainrings have been the dominant standard for mountain bike cranks since the mid nineties. In the context of road cycling , compact drivetrain typically refers to double cranksets with a smaller (usually 110 mm (4.3 in)) bolt circle diameter than the standard 130 mm (5.1 in) or Campagnolo's 135 mm (5.3 in).

    A Rohloff Speedhub hub gear A Shimano XT rear derailleur on a mountain bike A bicycle gearbox with chain tensioner. Bicycle gearing is the aspect of a bicycle drivetrain that determines the relation between the cadence, the rate at which the rider pedals, and the rate at which the drive wheel turns.

  7. Bottom bracket - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bottom_bracket

    Combined with the length of the cranks, it determines the bicycle's ground clearance. A higher bottom bracket is useful for mountain bikes. In a fixed-gear bicycle, the bottom bracket should be high enough to prevent the pedals from coming in contact with the ground while cornering but is not always achieved.
