  • Patent number: 8398107
    Abstract: The bicycle angle adjustment device according to the invention is suitable for rotationally adjusting a first bicycle part in relation to a second bicycle part. The first bicycle part is provided with a hole with an internal toothing. Also, an intermediate ring is provided with an external and internal toothing, wherein the intermediate ring's external toothing, when 5 mounted, meshes into the internal toothing of the first bicycle part. In this way, a first set of meshing toothings is formed. The second bicycle part is provided with an external toothing which, when mounted, meshes into the internal toothing of the intermediate ring, in such a way that a second set of meshing toothings is formed. The first set of toothings has a first minimum angular rotation and the second set of toothings has a second minimum angular 0 rotation. The first minimum angular rotation of the first set of toothings differs from the second minimum angular rotation of the second set of toothings.

  • Publication number: 20130062927
    Abstract: A bicycle wheel rim 1 includes a wall with two opposite radially outwardly extending annular sidewall parts 2a, b in which a plurality of slit shaped spoke mounting apertures are provided. Spokes 10 are provided which include a shaft 11 with a thickened head 12. Each slit extends both in a sideward and radial outward direction and includes a first slit part 15 and a second slit part 16, where the first slit part has cross sectional dimensions lying between the cross sectional dimensions of the shaft and the head, and the second slit part has cross sectional dimensions larger than the cross sectional dimensions of the head. The second slit part lies further radially outward than the first slit part, and the slit parts are both open in the direction of the central axis of the rim and in the direction of at least one of the sidewall parts of the rim.

  • Publication number: 20110126666
    Abstract: A crank set for a bicycle includes a crankshaft having a drive side shaft end part (3) and a non-drive side shaft end part (4), bearings (1, 2) for mounting the crankshaft rotatable in a bottom bracket shell of a frame of the bicycle, a drive side pedal crank (16), a non-drive side pedal crank (20), and at least one chain ring (14, 15) provided on the drive side shaft end part (3). The drive-side shaft end part (3) is provided with an integrally formed radially outwardly extending mounting body (7) upon which the drive side pedal crank (16) and the chain rings (14, 15) are mounted. The non-drive-side shaft part (4) may also be provided with an integrally formed radially outwardly extending mounting body (10) upon which the non-drive side pedal crank (20) is mounted.
