    Abstract: The invention relates to a tightening and adjusting assembly for a steering system of a bicycle. The steering system generally includes a head tube, a steering tube rotatably mounted within the head tube by means of upper and lower headsets, and a handlebar stem tube mounted around the steering tube. The tightening and adjusting assembly has a preload member, an anchoring member and a tightening and adjusting set. The preload member is engaged with a top end of the handlebar stem tube. The anchoring member is abutted against a bottom end of the steering tube. The tightening and adjusting set is disposed in the interior of the steering tube and between the preload member and the anchoring member to draw the preload and anchoring members together and thus preload the upper and lower headsets of the steering system.

    Abstract: A driving mechanism of a bicycle free-coaster hub includes a driving assembly, a clutch assembly, an epicyclic gear assembly, a resisting member, and forward drag and reverse drag members. The clutch assembly includes an output clutch unit disposed inner the hub and an input clutch unit disposed with the driving assembly to form a clutching or engaging state with the output clutch unit. The epicyclic gear assembly includes a sun gear coupled with the input clutch unit, a ring gear mounted on the hub, a planet gear carrier having a plurality of planet gears engaged with the ring gear and the gear portion of the sun gear. The resisting member is disposed between the sun gear and the hub axle. The forward drag member is disposed between the ring gear and the sun gear. The reverse drag member is disposed between the planet gear carrier and the hub axel.

    Abstract: A valve assembly is configured to secure on a hole of a rim on which a tire having at least two air chambers is mounted. The valve assembly includes a main body, a securing means, at least two valve bodies and at least two valves. The main body includes at least two transfer air passage respectively connected to each of the air chambers. The securing means is configured to secure the main body and also the at least two valve bodies on the rim. The at least two valve bodies are respectively disposed on the main body and each of the at least two valve bodies has an inlet air passage connected to one of the transfer air passages of the main body. The at least two valves are respectively attached to each of the at least two valve bodies.

    Abstract: A bicycle freecoaster hub includes a clutch to provide a clutching effect during riding. The clutch has a clutch member, and first and second resistance members. The first resistance member is located inside the clutch member and includes a cylinder and flanges at each end. The second resistance member includes a ring sleeve part located inside the clutch member and mounted on the cylinder of the first resistance member and abutted against the first flange of the first resistance member. An elastic member is sleeved onto the cylinder of the first resistance member and abutted between the outer flange of the first resistance member and the second resistance member, so as to provide sufficient resistance for the clutch member. The hub bearings are arranged in such a way that the drive mechanism is isolated from axial loads.
