drivetrain

We call anything that transmits force from your foot to the contact patch of the rear wheel on the ground "drivetrain".

Usually, this is the way it flows:

  1. foot -> pedal
  2. pedal -> crank
  3. crank -> chainring
  4. chainring -> chain
  5. chain -> rear cog
  6. rear cog -> hub
  7. hub -> spoke
  8. spoke -> rim
  9. rim -> tire

pedals

Speedplay

Speedplay thought "outside of the box" in designing these pedals.

...

These pedals have a special toe-clip and strapping system that secures your foot to the pedals without requiring special bicycle shoes.

VP

These are two-sided pedals. That means you can ride with regular shoes, or use bicycle shoes with cleats that secure your foot to the pedal.

idlers

TerraCycle

Upgrade your recumbent's idler pulley to the TerraCycle Elite series idler.

This idler is second only to the upgraded Elite version.

cranksets

chain

The chain transmits force from the rider pedaling a crankset to the cassette or freewheel of a rolling rear wheel.

cassette

Cassettes are groupings of incrementally-sized cogs that receive force via the chain and transmit that force to the rear wheel via a freehub body.

idlers

Idler pulleys are used to redirect the power or return chain through the frame of a cycle.

pedals

We strongly encourage recumbent trike riders to CLIP IN! To that end, we carry a complete lineup of clip-in pedals for all needs and budgets.
