These are the reaction force curves for each bottom bracket bearing and the chain.
  • The chain force curve times the chain speed will be the drive train power curve.
  • There is a difference in the horizontal reaction curves between right and left because of the offset horizontal reaction in the chain.
  • The vertical reaction curves are just shifted 180° from each other.
