    摘要: A bicycle hub with an axle, a shell, a rotor with a rotor body and a freewheel device with, a hub-side toothed disk device coupled to the hub shell, and a rotor-side toothed disk device interacting therewith and coupled to the rotor body, to drivingly couple the rotor to the hub shell in the driving direction and decouple from one another when freewheeling. The toothed disk devices include an end toothing and are biased to an engagement position. A sprocket accommodation is on the rotor body which includes on the hub-side end an inner radial wall to support a hub-side rotor bearing. On an end face at the hub-side end of the rotor, radially between the inner radial wall and an rotor outer wall, a circumferential accommodation accessible from the end face is configured, so the rotor-side toothed disk device is accommodated in a fixed driving manner and axially movable.

    摘要: A bicycle component for an at least partially muscle-powered bicycle, including a seat post device adjustable between two positions, with two support members telescopically movable relative to one another in the axial direction namely, a first support member and a second support member. The bicycle component has an anti-twist protection with a clamping element that non-rotatably couples the support members together, and which is displaceably received in a guiding groove, so that rotational movement of the first support member relative to the second support member can be at least partially blocked. The anti-twist protection includes a spline device with a spline unit that can be pressed against the clamping element in the axial direction. By pressing the clamping element and the spline unit together, the clamping element can be moved relative to the guiding groove transverse to the axial direction.

    摘要: A manufacturing method for a fibrous composite bicycle rim , and a tool having two molding devices and one circular device. The two molding devices each have one flank contact surface. A molding device is selected and a matching auxiliary molding part is connected therewith, forming a mold surface for the rim base. A first fiber composite layer is applied to the molding device and the auxiliary molding part. The other molding device is covered with a first fiber composite layer, forming the layer of the other rim flank. A circular device is formed of annular segments has a circumferential rim well contact surface and is covered by a first fiber layer, which forms the rim well. The circular device and the molding devices are connected. The fibrous composite material is allowed to set, the annular segments and the molding devices are removed, and the rim is taken out.

    摘要: A tool device and its use for manufacturing a bicycle rim, having opposite rim flanks, a rim well and a rim base and rim flanges configured on the radially outwardly ends of the rim flanks, wherein the tool device includes two molding devices and a circular device. The circular device forms the rim well and the axially inwardly oriented surfaces of the rim flanges. The circular device includes an annular unit of a less elastic material and at least one cover of a more elastic material. Alternately, the molding devices each include a molding unit of a less elastic material and at least one cover of a more elastic material, for attachment thereto. The thickness of the cover is between one eighth of the minimum wall thickness of the rim well of the rim manufactured and eight times the minimum wall thickness of the rim well of the rim manufactured.

    摘要: Bicycle hub includes a shell rotatably supported relative to a hub axle, a rotor rotatably supported by two rotor bearings, and a freewheel device having two interacting freewheel components: a hub-side freewheel component and a rotor-side freewheel component. The freewheel components each include axial engagement elements and are axially movable relative to one another between a freewheel position and an engaging, driving torque position. The hub-side freewheel component includes a threaded axial body section and is screwed into the hub shell. The hub-side freewheel component has an axial, annular surface on which the axial engagement elements are configured. The rolling members of a hub bearing show a defined accommodation inside the hub-side freewheel component to support the shell relative to the hub axle. The hub-side freewheel component includes a tool contour which couples to an adapted tool for releasing the screw connection of the hub-side freewheel component with the shell.

    摘要: A bicycle component for an at least partially muscle-powered bicycle with at least one freewheel unit including a freewheel component and a support unit and a spring unit, the freewheel component containing a tubular body section extending around a central axis and configured hollow showing a non-round outer contour for non-rotatable and axially displaceable coupling and a front surface with axial engagement components. The spring unit urges the freewheel component and the support unit apart in an axial direction of the central axis. The freewheel component, the support unit, and the spring unit form an assembly suitable for pre-assembly, and the spring unit is attached to the freewheel component and the support unit.

    摘要: A wheel for a racing bicycle including a rim with a rim body having a rim well and lateral rim flanks provided with rim flanges, the rim flanges showing bulges protruding inwardly, each defining an undercut at the pertaining rim flange. A tire with two circumferential tire beads is accommodated on the rim body between the rim flanges, the tire beads bearing against the inside of the rim flanges and entering the undercut at the bulges of the rim flanges. A tire retaining device is included which is disposed in the internal space between the tire and the rim well. The tire retaining device includes an insert member having a hollow space that extends between the tire beads and contains a radially outwardly peripheral wall and a radially inwardly peripheral wall, wherein at least the radially inwardly peripheral wall extends continuously across an inner axial width of the insert member.
