Help! I need an ME
Received this overnight:
https://cyclingindustry.news/new-mot...n-performance/ Which made no sense to me and the Vimeo would not play on my machine. So I went to a different box and found this: https://www.newmotionlabs.com/ My question is, 'Does this do what they claim?' My intuition is that the trailing roller isn't loaded except in animation/advertising, not physics. Ejitate me, please. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

Once the links 'stretch'. it will be just like the 'old' chains, |

My intuition is that the trailing roller isn't loaded except in animation/advertising, not physics. Ejitate me, please. Pure marketing. Demands a different tooth profile. Has more moving parts. The frictional loses on the double sided tooth chain has to be considerably higher than a standard chain. Furthermore, it is inoperable on multispeed derailleur mechanisms. The rolling friction of a standard chain and ring is something like 97% on a clean and lubricated mechanism. That isn't good enough that you have to change everything? For what? |

(and as an added attraction once the system is installed there is only one source for the parts :-) -- Cheers, John B. |

My intuition is that the trailing roller isn't loaded except in animation/advertising, not physics. Ejitate me, please. Looks like mechanical snake oil. File it with perpetual motion machines and L-shaped crank arms: https://road.cc/content/feature/1812...-just-wont-die Power will be transmitted by only the force on one face of the sprocket tooth. The other force they allude to, if it exists, does nothing productive. And as the chain wears, that force will become zero. And you get increased width, increased part count, increased weight ... whoopee! Modern roller chain can easily hit 95% efficiency or more. There aren't enough losses to make gimmicks like this even worth pursuing. -- - Frank Krygowski |
