Because of its unique combination of cost and performance, DMMC is likely to be appropriate for applications in many manufacturing industries. Several all-terrain bicycle (ATB) applications are presently being commercialized. This thesis focuses on the policy Duralcan should follow to market DMMCs to the manufacturers of ATB applications. More specifically, the thesis identifies the combination of performance and price that Duralcan has to offer before DMMC is incorporated into designs for ATB frames, disc brake rotors, and wheel rims.

  • Deluxe Tagalong™ Bicycle Basket Care & Use Guide
    140519 Deluxe Tagalong™ Bicycle Basket Care & Use Guide Thank you for purchasing the Solvit Deluxe Tagalong™ Bicycle Basket. The carton should contain: the main basket section; two side panels; one padded bottom panel, one sewn-in safety leash, one shoulder strap, one removable sunshade and a mounting bracket assembly. Assembly of the basket: The front and back interior hard panels are pre-installed in the basket. Install the side panels and bottom panel as follows: 1) Lift the four padded flaps to make it easier to insert the side panels into the basket. 2) Insert one side panel with one edge fitted snugly in the corner of the basket, with the hook tape strip at the top of the panel and facing to the inside (figure A). 3) Push the panel so it fits flat along the side of the basket and is snug in both corners. Repeat with the other side panel. When both side panels are inserted correctly, the basket should resemble figure B. The side panels are designed to fit tightly – be sure to push firmly into the corners and against the sides of the basket. 4) Insert the padded bottom panel, pad side up, into the bottom of the basket. The small “pull tab” on the edge of the panel should face the front. Again, this is intended to be a tight fit when in the correct position. Hold the safety leash when inserting the bottom panel so that it will be accessible after the bottom panel is inserted. When the bottom and side panels are firmly pushed in place, the basket should resemble figure C.

  • Give Me a Brake
    Give Me a Brake Provided by TryEngineering - www.tryengineering.org L e s s o n F o c u s Lesson focuses on brakes, force, and friction, using bicycle rim brakes to demonstrate basic braking mechanisms to stop, slow, or prevent motion. Lesson Synopsis The Give Me a Brake activity explores the concept of how brakes can stop or slow mechanical motion. Students examine the operation of a bicycle brake and use low cost materials to devise a simple braking system, then work as a team to suggest improvements to current bicycle brake designs. Y e a r L e v e l s Year 7 – Term 2, Year 8 – Term 2, Year 10 – Term 3 O b j e c t i v e s Learn about braking systems. Learn about force and friction. Learn about the interaction between different materials. Learn about teamwork and the engineering problem solving/design process. Anticipated Learner Outcomes As a result of this activity, students should develop an understanding of: force and friction brakes impact of engineering and technology on society engineering problem solving teamwork Lesson Activities Students learn about how basic rim bicycle brakes work, and discuss force and friction. Students work in teams to experience a simple braking system using three different materials, they discuss advantages of each, develop recommend changes to improve bicycle braking systems, and present to class.

  • On the Effectiveness of Suspension Stems in Reducing the Vibration Transmitted to a Cyclist’S Hands in Road Cycling †
    Proceedings On the Effectiveness of Suspension Stems in Reducing the Vibration Transmitted to a Cyclist’s Hands in Road Cycling † Jean-Marc Drouet 1,*, Derek Covill 2 and Antoine Labrie 1 1 VÉLUS Laboratory, Mechanical Engineering Department, Université de Sherbrooke, 2500 Boulevard de l’Université, Sherbrooke, QC J1K 2R1, Canada; [email protected] 2 School of Computing, Engineering and Mathematics—University of Brighton, Cockcroft Building, Lewes Road, Brighton BN2 4GJ, UK; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-819-821-8000 (ext. 61345) † Presented at the 13th conference of the International Sports Engineering Association, Online, 22–26 June 2020. Published: 15 June 2020 Abstract: The practice of road cycling is often associated with low levels of comfort for the cyclist and can be a physically painful experience on bad roads. Apart from cushioning in the saddle, applying handlebar tape, or reducing tyre pressure, a road bicycle offers in itself few options for comfort improvement, as it is primarily designed for performance, with emphasis on low mass and high stiffness. However, a range of components exist (e.g., suspension stems and seatposts) that can be fitted to a road bicycle, which can potentially improve comfort. In this context, the aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of suspension stems in reducing the vibration transmitted to a cyclist’s hands in the case of impact loading. The results showed an important reduction in the vibrational energy transmitted to a cyclist’s hands with two commercially available suspension stems compared to a regular stem.
