Depends.

Bicycles with external gears have chain-and-sprocket gears.

Bicycles with internally geared hubs have both a chain-and-sprocket gear and spur gears (usually in a planetary configuration) inside the rear hub.

Then there are the rather rare shaft-drive bicycles, which use bevel gears. And maybe an internally geared hub as well. Then there's the occasional belt drive bike of course. And one or two CVT designs.

Can spur gears turn horizontal rotation to vertical rotation?

No, they would need to be bevel gears. Peg gear wheels would but they are generaly made from wood and used for agriculture etc.


Why are helical gears more favourable than spur gears?

bevel gears are used for power transmitting between the shafts which intersect at some angel ( usually right angel) , but the spur gear is used for shafts which are parallel and coplanar.

What is the difference between helical gear and screw?

Spur gears have straight teeth while helical gears have curved teeth. Generally, helical gears are usually quieter and smoother in operation, while spur gears are easier to make and much less expensive.Helical gears are stronger than spur gears.


What is the purpose of a spur gear?

One of the most common types of gears is the Spur Gear. They are most round with teeth along the edging. Spur Gears are used in oscillating sprinklers or fans, windup clocks, washing machines and dyers.


Where spur gears are used?

spur gears are used because there are many things such as bicycles that cant exist without a spur gear' > gearboxes, mechanical watches, cam drives


Why are gears called spur gears?

Spur Gears: a gear having straight teeth cut on the rim parallel to the axis of rotation.Gears: a disk, wheel, or section of a shaft, having cut teeth of such form, size, and spacing that they mesh with teeth in another part to transmit or receive force and motion.***A spur gear is a type of gear***
