Dear experts,
I want to design a bicycle braking system. I'm interested in hydraulic systems, but I want to start with the regular ones.
I've checked “shimano.com” and there were some nice fact-sheets in there,but before I go over the designing, I need to know what criteria or standards should be considered in designing. For example one standards might be the ability to stop a speeding bicycle carrying a cyclist weighting 80 kg, at a final braking distance of 5 meter, when they're on a 20(degree) downhill, in dry conditions.
Having this information will help me to consider exerted forces correctly, and consider a proper design factor (N) , according to the used materials.
I'm studying mechanics in university, and I've some knowledge about strength of materials and other necessary issues. I just want to know where to start, and also I need some info about the preceding standard,I mean a reliable braking systemr equirements.
I'm looking forward to receiving your tips
thanks
