Abstract
! The Cyclone bike pedals are specically designed with the typical everyday rider in mind. Cast out of 6061 T-6 Anodized Aluminum, The Cyclone awlessly combines this lightweight material with strength and durability. The precision behind the Cyclones ergonomic design sets a new precedence for strapless bike pedals. Its structure considers the foots natural shape and form during peddling. By tting to the riders foot, no power is lost from shifting on the surface of the pedal, thus maximizing the riders overall efciency.

Center Sha :
We chose 4130 Chromoly Steel for the center shaft because it has a higher yield strength and tensile strength than carbon steel, yet has the same density. It is the industry standard. It is also corrosion resistant.
Center Sha :
Leaded Steel was used because of its availability and machining properties, specically smaller chips.

Center Sha :
The Center Shaft is made out of 4130 Steel. It will be turned on an lathe.
Bearings:
The bearings are corrosion resistant type 440 stainless steel thrust bearings and can handle a radial load as well as minor angular misalignment.
Additional Components:
Additional components may be specied as necessary in the nal design.
Center Sha :
The Center Shaft is made out of Leaded Steel. It will be turned on a lathe.
Bearings:
The bearings are corrosion resistant type 440 stainless steel double sealed bearings.
Stand:
The stand is made from 2 pieces of laser cut acrylic. They are glued together.
Additional Components:
Additional components may be specied as necessary in the nal design.
