BKU / MECHANISMS / ENTITY

Chain drive

Input: pedal torque at chainring. Output: rear sprocket / rear wheel drive.

bku.mechanism.chain_drive
INPUT

pedal torque at chainring

TRANSFER PATH
  1. chainring teeth engage chain
  2. chain carries tension
  3. rear sprocket receives chain force
OUTPUT

rear sprocket / rear wheel drive

Observation sequence

  • identify where motion/force enters
  • trace the transfer path
  • identify the interface where output appears
  • verify the system state after intervention

This mechanism page describes system logic. It is not a component-specific repair procedure.

BKU004 · WORKSHOP VERIFICATION

A mechanism map narrows questions. It does not diagnose.

A mechanism map narrows questions but does not identify a fault or authorize a generic repair procedure.

QUESTIONS BEFORE PROCEDURE
  • Which exact product architecture is present?
  • Which interfaces participate in the observed path?
  • Which manufacturer document controls the next procedural step?
AUTHORITY GATE

Use the current manufacturer documentation for the exact product system before adjustment, replacement, compatibility or return-to-use decisions.

GRAPH NEIGHBORHOOD

Incoming and outgoing edges are different.

Direction and relation vocabulary remain explicit. Association is not compatibility, causality, ranking or a handling prediction.
