This is the major reason that modern derailer gear systems work better than older ones. Newer sprockets usually have specially shaped teeth, and ramps on their sides to make shifting smoother without the protruding rivet pins.
These chains fit the 3.5mm space between the sprockets of 5-and 6-speed freewheels. Up through the 1970s, chains had protruding rivet pins that snagged on the sides of the teeth. Eventually, it gets snagged on the sides of the teeth of the larger sprocket, and yanked up and away. The chain is forced to rub against the side of the larger sprocket next to the one it is riding on. When the chain is being shifted from a smaller sprocket to a larger one, it is slightly different. It then falls off of the sprocket and lands on the next one in line. When the angle becomes sharp enough, the chain can no longer mesh with the sprocket.
The rear derailer looks more complicated, but the only additional complication is that the rear derailer also contains the arm with the spring-loaded pulleys, that takes up the slack as the chain goes to smaller sprockets.īoth derailers work by pushing the chain sideways, so that it runs at an angle onto the sprocket, instead of straight. As it does, it pushes the chain sideways until it can't run on the chainwheel it has been riding on, then the chain falls off and lands on the chainwheel closest to its new location. The front derailer simply consists of a cage made of sheet metal that can move back and forth from side to side. Gear shifting is accomplished by leading the chain from one sprocket to another.ĭerailers look complicated, but they are actually very simple, brute-force devices. Most modern bicycles use derailer (or dérailleur, if you prefer the French spelling) gearing systems.
