Abstract: A crank set for a two-wheeler, the crank set comprising a crank with a crank spider, a chainring and a chain guard ring, the chainring being fastened to the crank spider by fastening elements, and the fastening elements pressing the chainring and the crank spider against one another along a pressing direction. A clamped area of the chain guard ring is clamped in a clamping zone between at least one of the fasteners by which the chainring is secured to the crank spider and the crank spider or chainring and thereby secured to the crank set.

Abstract: A chain comprising an alternating succession of inner chain links and outer chain links, each inner chain link having a pair of inner link plates contacting the lateral faces of two rollers and each outer chain link having a pair of two outer link plates contacting the inner link plates of adjacent inner chain links. A pin connects two outer link plates and two inner link plates and a roller, wherein the inner surfaces of a pair of opposite outer link plates comprise protrusions in the area between the adjacent inner link plates. The circumference and/or diameter of the protrusion is at least 60% and/or maximum 140% the circumference and/or diameter of the eyes of the outer link plate.

Abstract: The present patent application describes a modular crankset for bicycles. The described modular crankset is useful for users, since it solves issues related to the speed of replacement of elements, the easiness of the replacement procedures and lowers the weight of the set without compromising the consistency and rigidity of the set. The current technology is applicable to any bicycle available in the market, including electrical bicycles, and it is especially interesting for competition bicycles, wherein the replacement of the constituent elements of the crankset should be made as quickly as possible.

Abstract: The present application describes a transmission system, including a certain tooth profile of toothed wheel and its use. This transmission system enables an improved guidance of the chain by using a non-normative tooth profile, to avoid that when the vehicle is exposed to extreme situations disengagements of the chain may occur. This transmission system applies to vehicles, preferably bicycles.
