Cranks can be shortened for medical reasons using shorteners such as Ortho Pedal. Unicycle cranks vary in length to accommodate different unicycle wheel sizes, and different unicycling disciplines. As almost all unicycles are ungeared, crank length is a major factor in determining how much force is transmitted to the wheel.
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 ...

With a one-piece (also called Ashtabula) crank and bottom bracket, the spindle and crank arms are a single piece. The bottom bracket shell is large to accommodate removal of this S-shaped crank. Bearing cups are pressed into the bottom bracket shell. The crank holds the cones, facing in; adjustment is made via the left-threaded non-drive side cone.
Chainring: (one of the) front gear(s), attached to a crank; Chainset: see Crankset; Chainstay: a pair of tubes on a bicycle frame that runs from the bottom bracket to the rear fork ends; Chain tensioner: a device to maintain proper chain tension; Chaintug: a device to aid in setting the proper chain tension
Wheelbase is a function of rear frame length, steering axis angle, and fork offset. It is similar to the term wheelbase used for automobiles and trains. Wheelbase has a major influence on the longitudinal stability of a bike, [clarification needed] along with the height of the center of mass of the combined bike and rider.
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. In contrast to gear ratio which is a relative measure of bicycle gearing giving an indication of the mechanical advantage of different gears, which combined with the wheel ...
Typically, the forward crankset is connected by a left-side timing chain to the rear crankset, which in turn is connected by a right-side chain to the rear wheel. This configuration is called crossover rear drive, and requires both of the rear cranks to have chainrings. To work reliably, both of the left-side cranks must be tandem- or left ...
