A belt drive system comprising a belt having a plurality of longitudinally spaced belt teeth, the belt further comprising a longitudinal groove extending in the endless direction of the belt through the belt teeth, a sprocket comprising a plurality of sprocket teeth on an outer circumference of the sprocket, each of the sprocket teeth extending parallel to the rotation axis, and each sprocket tooth configured to be received between adjacent belt teeth, and a first planar fin extending from at least one side of a sprocket tooth, the first planar fin configured to cooperatively engage the longitudinal groove, the first planar fin extending in a direction normal to a sprocket axis of rotation, the first planar fin having a width no greater than 20% of a sprocket groove width (W).

A drive sprocket can include a plurality of teeth for meshing with a drive member to transmit rotary motion. The drive member can include a plurality of engagement pockets engaging the teeth of the drive sprocket, where each tooth has a tooth profile defined by a first side comprising a first engagement surface and an opposite second side comprising a second engagement surface, which engagement surfaces are configured such that when driven, a tooth meshes to the engagement pocket at a first contact location on the first engagement surface and also at a second contact location on the second engagement surface.

A chain for a bicycle, a sprocket cassette, a chainring, a crankset, a chain drive system, and a bicycle are provided. The chain comprises a plurality of interleaved link elements, each link element being pivotably attached to at least one other link element and comprising at least two teeth. A flank of each tooth is adapted to engage with a flank of a sprocket tooth. The sprocket cassette comprises one or more sprockets, each comprising a plurality of sprocket teeth, wherein each sprocket tooth has a flank with a profile corresponding to a profile of at least part of a tooth of each of the plurality of link elements. The chainring comprises a plurality of sprocket drive teeth having a profile corresponding to the profile of at least one of the teeth of each of the plurality of link elements.

A chain and an inner link plate for a bicycle chain having chain rollers is provided. A protrusion of the inner link plate in relation to the respectively assigned chain roller in a front lower longitudinal end region of an inner link plate outer periphery is reduced, in comparison to the protrusion in a front upper longitudinal end region and/or in a rear lower longitudinal end region of the inner link plate outer periphery.

The present invention is a chain structure of bicycles, which comprises a plurality of rollers, a plurality of chain sheets and a plurality of chain rollers. Wherein the rollers define a mounting space. Each chain sheet comprises a chain body, a first pivot joint part extending from one end of chain body and to be arranged in the mounting space, a second pivot joint part horizontally extending from the other end of chain body, the second pivot joint part is installed on the roller with the first pivot joint part, wherein the first pivot joint part is in a horizontal position different from chain body, the first pivot joint part defines a rotation space for placing the second pivot joint part of another chain sheet, so that the first pivot joint part and second pivot joint part can rotate a preset angle in the rotation space. When the chain sheets are combined with rollers respectively, the chain bodies remain on the same plane, the chain roller penetrates the second pivot joint part and the first pivot joint part respectively for connecting the roller to the chain sheets on both sides of roller. Thereby, the chain is thinned and the weight is reduced, the tensile strength is increased by thickening the chain sheet.

A link connecting structure includes two outer link plates and two inner link plates. An inner side of each outer link plate is formed with a concave portion between two first coupling portions at two ends thereof. A connecting surface is connected between each first coupling portion and the concave portion. The connecting surface is gradually tapered inward from each first coupling portion toward the concave portion. An outer side of each inner link plate is provided with a pair of bent portions each extending from an outermost edge of each second coupling portion toward the connecting surface. A gap is defined between each bent portion and the connecting surface. The gap is less than the minimum thickness of a narrow tooth of a chainring, thereby preventing the tooth from being jammed in the gap.

Tri-Power Exercising device allows a rider to simultaneously, or on demand, exercise virtually all muscle groups in his lower and upper body. The device includes a bicycle frame, pedals, forearm bars, sliding seat, computer and electronic display recommending energy modulation amounts from various muscle groups to optimize physical performance on any given trek. Because riders can exercise virtually all muscle groups at once, they reduce their exercising time, continuously builds muscle tissue throughout their whole body, and exercises their cardiovascular and respiratory systems completely. Riders operate the device by rotating legs on the pedals, rotationally oscillating the forearm bars up and down with their arms and shoulders, and then use core muscles to pull and push the seat back and forth on the slider. Inverted racks, pinion gears, and one-way bearings turn this linear power from the oscillating forearm bars and sliding seat into torque that rotates the crank axle.

A bicycle chain includes inner link members and outer link member. An inner link having two connecting openings which are formed at a distance from each other, pass through the inner link in the thickness direction thereof and are each designed for receiving a connecting component in order to connect the inner link to a further inner link in order to form an inner link member of a bicycle chain. An outer link member may be formed and attached to the inner link. The inner and/or outer links may be formed with features asymmetric about various orientations of the links.

A slide component comprises a base member and a plated layer. The base member is made of a titanium alloy including beta phase of titanium. The base member includes a surface having a plurality of recesses. The plated layer is provided on the surface of the base member.

A dual-drive prone bicycle comprises a frame (1), a front wheel (2), a rear wheel (3), a front drive component (4) and a rear drive component (5), wherein: the front wheel (2) and the rear wheel (3) are arranged at the front portion and rear portion of the frame (1); the rear drive component (5) comprises a rear wheel drive mechanism (51) for driving the rear wheel (3) and a treadle mechanism (52) for driving the rear wheel transmission mechanism (51); and a dynamic knee support member (53) having synchronous movement with the treadle mechanism (52) is provided between the treadle mechanism (52) and the frame (1). Designed with multi-point dynamic supports, this dual-drive prone bicycle improves riding comfort and efficiency and is combined with crawling fitness function.
