How Bicycle Rim Brakes Work | Simple Mechanical Engineering

DESCRIPTION:
This educational video explains how bicycle rim brakes work.
Rim brakes are a simple mechanical system that uses friction to slow down or stop a bicycle.
Commonly found on city bikes and older mountain bikes, this braking system is lightweight, easy to maintain, and cost-effective.

This video is for educational purposes.

VOICE OVER SCRIPT (SHORTS):
"This is a bicycle rim brake.
When you pull the brake lever, the cable tightens.
The brake arms move inward.
Brake pads press against the wheel rim.
Friction slows the wheel and stops the bike.
Simple, effective, and widely used."

EDUCATIONAL EXPLANATION:
This video shows a mechanical rim brake system commonly used on bicycles.
It demonstrates basic principles of force, friction, and mechanical movement.

SPECIFICATIONS:
Brake type: Rim Brake (Caliper/Cantilever)
Actuation: Mechanical cable
Material: Steel / Aluminum arms
Brake pad: Rubber compound
Application: City bike, road bike, light MTB

ADVANTAGES:
Lightweight
Easy maintenance
Low cost
Simple mechanical design
Easy to repair

DISADVANTAGES:
Reduced performance in wet conditions
Rim wear over time
Less braking power than disc brakes

WORKING PRINCIPLE:
Hand force → brake lever → cable tension → brake arms move → pads press rim → friction → wheel stops

PRODUCTIVITY IMPACT:
Rim brakes increase cycling efficiency by providing reliable stopping power with minimal maintenance, supporting daily transportation and productivity.
