What is the purpose of a bicycle brake noodle and how does it contribute to the overall functionality of the bicycle brake system?

A bicycle brake noodle is a small, curved metal tube that connects the brake cable to the brake caliper. Its purpose is to allow the brake cable to move smoothly and flexibly as the brake is applied, ensuring that the brake pads can grip the wheel effectively. The noodle helps to reduce friction and improve the overall responsiveness and efficiency of the bicycle brake system.

What is the purpose of a brake rotor on a bike and how does it contribute to the overall braking system?

The purpose of a brake rotor on a bike is to provide a surface for the brake pads to grip onto and create friction, which slows down the bike when the brakes are applied. The brake rotor contributes to the overall braking system by converting the kinetic energy of the moving bike into heat energy through friction, which helps to stop the bike efficiently and safely.

What valves are anti-compounding valves?

Anti compounding valves are found in an air brake system on large commercial vehicles. These valves help to balance the pressure applied to the slack adjuster by simultaneously applying air to the spring brake relay when the service brake is pushed. The air is applied to the parking brake chamber as air pressure is applied to the service brake chamber thus releasing the parking brake the same amount that the service brake is applied thus "Balancing" the pressure in the brake chamber. This prevents excessive pressure from being applied to the service side and subsequently to the rod and slack adjuster. Thomas Moysey- owner A.B. CDL Training Center Waterford, CT

What is the purpose of the brake lever on a bike and how does it help control the speed and stop the bike effectively?

The purpose of the brake lever on a bike is to apply pressure to the brake pads, which then press against the wheel rims or discs to slow down or stop the bike. By squeezing the brake lever, the rider can control the amount of pressure applied to the brakes, allowing them to adjust their speed or come to a complete stop as needed. This helps the rider maintain control over the bike and stop safely.
