What Causes the Rear Derailleur of a Gear Bike to Lose Tension?
1 Answers
Rear derailleur tension loss is related to the spring's pulling force and also significantly connected to the tightness of the gear cable. Concept of the Rear Derailleur: The rear derailleur is a crucial component in the mountain bike's gear system, responsible for shifting the cassette to adapt to different terrains, allowing riders to more efficiently utilize their body strength to propel the bicycle forward. Introduction to Gear Bikes: A gear bike is a type of racing bicycle with narrow wheels designed to minimize wheel weight for easier and faster riding. It is a bicycle capable of changing the gear ratio between the chainring and the cassette. Its structure is fundamentally similar to that of a lightweight bicycle, with the key difference being the installation of a gear mechanism on the rear axle.
