Depending on where the friction is coming from there is a lot that you can do. One of the first things to check is your chain. Head to a local shop and pick up some chainlube... my personal favorite is Rock n' Roll Lube, but there are tons out there. Ash the guys that work at the shop. If not it could be the bearings in your cranks, or the hubs of your wheels. If your brakes are misaligned or your wheel is out of true, the brake pads will rub, and that is another possible source. If you still have problems again take it to a shop and have a mechanic look at it to help you figure out what is wrong

Where on a bicycle is friction not important?

In the bearings, where you want as little friction as possible.


What part of a bicycle is a useful friction?

The brakes! And the tires (no friction = no traction).


Is a bicycle rolling down a hill friction?

Yes, as the bicycle rolls down the hill, there is still some friction present between the wheels and the surface of the hill. This friction helps to slow down the bicycle's descent and eventually bring it to a stop.


How does bicycle friction affect the overall performance and efficiency of a bicycle?

Bicycle friction can impact the overall performance and efficiency of a bicycle by causing resistance that makes it harder to pedal. This can result in decreased speed, increased energy expenditure, and reduced overall efficiency.Reducing friction through proper maintenance and lubrication can help improve performance and efficiency.


What part of a bicycle has a small amount of friction?

The bearings


How does friction help the breaks in a bicycle work?

Because friction stops momentum of force from moving the bike

Friction and leverage.


Parts of a bicycle where friction can be maximised?

The brakes and the tire treads.


Where is the net force on a bicycle zero?

The net force on a bicycle is zero when the forces pushing forward (such as pedaling and friction) are balanced by the forces resisting motion (such as air resistance and friction). This typically occurs when the bicycle is moving at a constant speed on a level surface.


Does brakes on a bicycle have a lot of friction or not much and is it useful or not useful?

Brakes are meant to have a lot of friction and it's useful.


What Suppose a bicycle was coasting on a level surface and there was no friction. What would happen to the bicycle's speed?

If there is no friction, the bicycle's speed will remain constant due to inertia. Once set in motion, it will continue at the same speed unless acted upon by an external force.


Does gravity cause a bicycle tire to wear down?

No. That would be friction.
