Design, development, and prototyping of a bike chain & gear mechanism cleaning product.

Abstract

Aim of this project is to design, develop, and prototype a new Chain & Gear Mechanism Guard for cleaning bicycles. Sentini Marine managers “Gareth Bransby and Jon Lee have contacted to the University of Huddersfield, Enterprise and Innovation Centre to find a design solution to their initial ideas to find a low cost manufacturing method for their bike chain cleaning product. They were introduced by the Product Design team after the initial meeting. Dr Ertu Unver met the Sentini team initially and agreed to carry out design and development work. Academic staff Robert Silkstone and David Swann also joined the team. A Santander Voucher was awarded to fund this research and development
