9、ovides the least resistanceto wheel and fork separation or wheel removal.2.1.4 disc brake, na brake that uses a caliper to squeeze apair of pads against a disc brake rotor in order to create frictionthat slows and stops the rotation of the wheel assembly.2.1.5 disc brake rotor, nthe component of a d

10、isc brakeagainst which the brake pads are pressed in order to stop. Therotor is attached to the wheel hub.2.1.6 dropout (fork end), nfork component used tosupport, or mount, the front wheel at the axle.2.1.7 manually operated, adjwithout the use of tools.2.1.8 primary retention, nsystem that keeps t

11、he bicyclewheel connected to the bicycle fork for riding.2.1.9 primary retention system in the unlocked position,nposition where, (1) if a quick release cam is used, the camis opened as far as possible or (2) if a turning style system suchas a wing nut or another non-cam style system is used, theman

12、ual lever is loosened 360.2.1.10 quick release assembly, nlever-actuated cammechanism that connects and retains the bicycle front wheel tothe bicycle fork.2.1.10.1 DiscussionThe assembly generally consists of alever (actuating the cam mechanism), adjusting nut and springs(two, optional).2.1.11 secon

13、dary retention, nsystem that retains the bi-cycle wheel in the dropouts when the primary retention systemis in the open (unlocked) position.2.1.12 wheel hub, nassembly consisting of an axle con-nected by bearings to a hub shell, to which the spokes attach,and permitting the shell to revolve around t

Examples of front wheel partial separationare shown in Fig. 2.3.4 Manually operated wheel retention systems shall not beused on bicycles with 20-in. (51-cm) diameter wheels orsmaller (excluding adult bicycles).3.5 When the quic

19、k release assembly is installed into thetest fixture (Fig. 3), the quick release lever shall not contact thefixture surface at any time during the test described in 4.2,ineither an open or closed position (Fig. 4 and Fig. 5).3.6 The quick release lever shall not interfere with therotation of the whe

20、el, including any attachments (for example,rotor), in either the open or closed position when the quickrelease is used as a system assembly (complete bicycle) andpositioned according to the manufacturers instructions.4. Test Methods4.1 Test SetupRemove the braking system entirely or setto the state

21、for wheel removal. Remove the tire from the wheel,and mount the fork only by the steerer tube so that the forkcannot rotate (Fig. 1). Assemble and adjust the primary andsecondary retention systems according to the manufacturersinstructions.4.1.1 Primary Retention TestLock the primary retentionsystem

22、 for the riding condition and apply a force of 2300 N thatis distributed symmetrically on the axle for a period of 1 minin the direction of removal of the wheel from the fork.4.1.2 Secondary Retention TestAs shown in Fig. 6, withthe primary retention system in the unlocked position, apply aForce “A”

23、 of 200 N distributed symmetrically on the axle inthe direction of the removal of the wheel from the fork. Whileapplying Force “A”, apply a separate 100 N Force “B” on thewheel rim as follows:(1) LocationAt the intersection of the extension of theForce “A” vector and a rim of maximum size compatible

24、 withthe fork.(2) DirectionApplied on the wheel rim in a directionparallel to the hub axle and on the line of the direction ofremoval of the front wheel.(3) DurationApply force for 1 min, then reduce Force“B” to zero as quickly as possible while maintaining Force“A”. Then reduce Force “A” to zero.FI
