Bearing Materials
Other polymers are used in special bearing designs where specific performance requirements such as high speed or low torque or low noise are identified Cages made from phenolic (phenol-formaldehyde) materials are most common in high speed ball bearings used in machine tool equipment spindles

Standard Mount vs Direct Mount Derailleur Hangers
Jul 10 2019By moving the entire derailleur further away from the hub and frame dropout this gave manufacturers more room for design improvements In 2017 Shimano started making road rear derailleurs with the direct mount system and most likely will become the norm for all their rear derailleurs

Ball bearings are the most common type of bearing used but you'll also find cartridge and needle varieties used Cartridge means that each set of bearings are housed in a single sealed assembly they are generally better sealed and last longer Needle bearings replace the balls with a ring of small rods

Bicycle
The safety bicycle As the ordinary was developing numerous designs offered safer alternatives including tricycles gearing to allow smaller front wheels and treadle drives to lower the pedals and the rider These were called safety bicycles Chain-driven rear wheels were used on tricycles and prototype bicycles during the 1870s Hans Renold invented the bush roller chain in Manchester

Bmx Bottom Bracket Sizes
An adult of about my size (183cm tall) can easily climb in the back with less awkwardness than in say a three-door hatchback There are two main types of bottom bracket design one with a threaded shell which the bearings screw into or a press-fit design which the bearings press into the shell
Headset (bicycle part)
Bearing types Bicycle headset bearings are usually ball bearings either loose balls caged balls or presealed in a cartridge needle bearings are also available It is important to distinguish different standards of cartridge bearings in Integrated 1⅛ headsets There are three integrated standards which are not compatible with each other

What Are the Different Types of Axle Design? (with pictures)
Sep 22 2020Axle design can vary significantly depending on what type of vehicle the axle is on Car axles will be different from truck axles which will be different from motorcycle and bicycle axles Bicycles often have the simplest axle design the spindle is often steel or aluminum and it is mounted between sets of bearings
Bearing (mechanical)
The first patent for a radial style ball bearing was awarded to Jules Suriray a Parisian bicycle mechanic on 3 August 1869 The bearings were then fitted to the winning bicycle ridden by James Moore in the world's first bicycle road race Paris-Rouen in November 1869 In 1883 Friedrich Fischer founder of QIBR developed an approach for milling and grinding balls of equal size and exact
Servicing Bicycle Headsets
New bicycle designs and the increasing popularity of cartridge bearings have led to several new headset dimensional standards The Standardized Headset Identification System (SHIS) has been developed by manufacturers to identify each of the dimensions that affect the fit of a headset to the bicycle frame and fork using a compact code
How Bicycles Work
Bicycles use ball bearings to reduce friction You can find ball bearings in: The front and rear hubs for the wheels The bottom bracket where an axle connects the two pedal cranks together The fork tube where the handlebars are allowed to turn The pedals The freewheel where they do double-duty (In the freewheel they also help provide the one-directional feature )

Designs may vary between manufacturers but the basic principal remains amongst many others Some information provided here applies to ALL bicycle hub-bearings in general so this is worth a once-over by those interested in DIY bicycle maintenance
2 Mounting
Bearing mounting methods depend on the bearing type and type of fit As bearings are usually used on rotating shafts the inner rings require a tight fit Bearings with cylindrical bores are usually mounted by pressing them on the shafts (press fit) or heating them to expand their diameter (shrink fit)
