Abstract:
A wheel suspension system having under powered acceleration a squat response that begins in the realm of anti squat and passes through a point of lessened anti squat at a further point in the travel.
Abstract:
The present invention according to certain embodiments relates to chain guides with captive fasteners. A chain guide of the current invention in certain embodiments is designed to preserve resources through use of stamped parts. A chain guide of the current invention in certain embodiments is designed to preserve resources by facilitating its assembly onto a bicycle in a less labor-intensive manner.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a bicycle pedal which comprises a body, a platform, and a pin, where the pin comprises a traction spike, a thread, a shoulder and a head. The platform is removable, and the platform is constrained in relation to the body by the pin, where the shoulder and head are used to locate the platform away from the body during tightening.
Abstract:
The invention relates to suspension systems comprising, in certain embodiments, a pivoting means concentric to a wheel rotation axis so that braking forces can be controlled by placement of an instant force center, and so that acceleration forces can be controlled by a swinging wheel link.

Abstract:
The current invention relates to impact protector mountings and methods of using such mountings for parts or structures that are susceptible to impact or the forces of an impact. Protectors of the invention are useful to protect any parts or structures in vehicles, including bicycles, motorcycles, cars, trucks, off-road vehicles, utility vehicles, and other vehicles. Impact protector mountings of the invention can be used to protect any parts and structures, including sprockets, disc brake rotors, engine parts, bottom brackets, drivetrain components, and other components susceptible to impact damage.
Abstract:
A sequential adjacent drive assembly for a single pivot rear suspension cycle includes a cycle frame and a suspension assembly operably attached to the cycle frame. The suspension assembly includes a wheel carrier and a wheel carrier fixed pivot. A primary drive assembly includes a primary drive sprocket having a primary drive sprocket rotation axis, a primary driven sprocket, and a primary drive chain operably connecting the primary drive sprocket and the primary driven sprocket. A secondary drive assembly is operably connected to the primary drive assembly. The secondary drive assembly includes a secondary drive sprocket having a secondary drive sprocket rotation axis, a secondary driven sprocket, and a secondary drive chain operably connecting the secondary drive sprocket and the secondary driven sprocket. A wheel is operably attached to the cycle frame and the secondary driven sprocket is operably connected to the wheel.
