What French railway term refers to the bicycle gear system for shifting the chain between sprockets?
Electronic gear-shifting system Electronic gear-shifting system An electronic gear-shifting system is a method of changing gears on a bicycle, which enables riders to shift with electronic switches instead of using conventional control levers and mechanical cables. The switches are connected by wire or wirelessly to a battery pack and to a small electric motor that drives the derailleur, switching the chain from cog to cog. An electronic system can switch gears faster, and because the system does not use Bowden cables and can calibrate itself, it may require less maintenance. In 1990 the Japanese bike component manufacturer SunTour introduced the Browning Electronic AccuShift
Electronic gear-shifting system minutes. The XSHIFTER will be seeking funding for development in November 2016. If successful, this project will further extend the range of electronic gear-shifting systems. An electronic system can have several advantages over a comparable mechanical system: An electronic system may have some disadvantages when compared to a mechanical system: Electronic gear-shifting system An electronic gear-shifting system is a method of changing gears on a bicycle, which enables riders to shift with electronic switches instead of using conventional control levers and mechanical cables.
