Product Information

High torque gears have fewer teeth than standard and high speed sets, but generally have a slightly deeper engagement to allow the gears to deliver the torque necessary to pull highstrength springs without failure.

This is usually paired with a wide-range cassette at the rear. This arrangement is referred to as a 1x (one by) setup.

HELICAL GEARS:

You’ll find drop bars on more dedicated road bikes aimed at speed rather than all-out comfort. Again, there are a few different designs available.

The working principles of planetary gears are based on the interaction and motion of the sun gear, planet gears, and the ring gear. The sun gear serves as the input, transmitting power from the engine, while the ring gear acts as the output, delivering power to the wheels. The planet gears, arranged around the sun gear and meshing with both the sun gear and the ring gear, serve as intermediary gears. There is a R8150 version with rim brakes that is slightly more widely available to buy than the latest Dura-Ace with rim brakes, but again it's very rarely seen on full bikes off-the-peg. If you want high performance without the hefty price tag of Shimano's 12-speed groupsets, then the previous-gen Ultegra R8000 and R8050 is still a great option. R8000 looks an awful lot like the previous-gen Dura-Ace too. Unlike the new 12-speed 105 there are rim brakes on R7000, and there are hydraulic disc brakes too. Buy Shimano 105 R7000 if you want to build up a sensibly-priced bike with a groupset that is getting on a bit, but still works perfectly well.There are lots of hub gear options available, but the most common are from Shimano, SRAM, Sturmey-Archer and well-known manufacturer Rohloff. is often considered to be the working cyclist’s groupset thanks to a reputation of being reliable and more attainable than its big brothers, Dura-Ace and Ultegra. Well, in 2022 it turned 40, and to celebrate there was a new generation R7100... but unfortunately for some, mechanical shifting and rim brakes weren’t invited to the party. Installing high torque gears will reduce your rate of fire when using the same motor, but will allow a standard motor to pull stronger springs without being overstressed. There's just one chainring bolt circle diameter that will take chainrings from 34 to 53 teeth. You can get the chainset with pairings of 53/39, 52/36, 50/34 and 46/36. You could change the chainrings for the riding you're going to do: a 53/39 for a race, say, and a 50/34 if you're holidaying in the Alps. The main mission of this generation of 105 was excellent performance at a sensible price. It’s a very good-looking groupset too and while it's a bit heavier than Dura-Ace and Ultegra, the performance runs both very close, with good shifting and braking. It’s heavier than Ultegra, but you have to be a weight weenie to worry about that.

Automatic transmissions offer a range of operating modes to accommodate different driving scenarios. These modes include park, neutral, reverse, drive, overdrive, low gear, and manual mode. Each mode utilizes specific combinations of gear engagement within the planetary gear set, optimizing performance, fuel efficiency, and driver control. If you don't want electronic shifting and prefer rim brakes, you're probably better upgrading to the newer 12-speed 105 mechanical groupset; but there is still availability of Shimano's previous generation R8000 11-speed groupset with rim brakes (and disc brakes in various places) and it's usually cheaper, so we're keeping it in this groupset guide for now.There you have it, our brief guide to the differences between high torque and high speed Airsoft AEG gears. You should now know what type of AEGgear setyou need for your build, no matter what level of performance you seek and in what aspect. The extreme angles this puts the chain at can result in increased wear and high loads on the drivetrain. The other new aspect to Ultegra is a suite of tubeless-ready wheels with full-carbon rims. Like the Dura-Ace equivalents they have 36mm, 50mm and 60mm rims.
