1、Designation:F279314Standard Specification forBicycle Grips1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F2793;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year
2、 of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThis specification defines a set of physical characteristics for Bicycle Grips and End Closures.Oneintent of this specification is to define certain dimensions of Bicycle Grips a
3、nd End Closures appliedto tubular handlebars mounted on bicycles designed for cyclists who are 12 years of age or younger.The second intent of this specification is to test the durability of the ends of the Bicycle Grips and EndClosures for all bicycles where the tubular handlebar end axes are orien
4、ted within 60 of parallel tothe axle axis of the steering wheel.This second intent would apply to the“BMX”and“Mountain”style tubular handlebar examples illustrated in Fig.1,and does not apply to the“Drop”(also knownas road race)style shown in the same figure.1.Scope1.1 This specification establishes
5、 a minimum outer diameterfor the Bicycle Grip or End Closure,and the method fordetermining if the grip or End Closure meets the diameter.1.2 This specification checks the following characteristics:1.2.1 Bicycle Grip outer diameter,1.2.2 Bicycle Grip or End Closure diameter or both,and1.2.3 Bicycle G
6、rip or End Closure retention or both.1.3 This specification establishes testing requirements forthe durability of Bicycle Grips and End Closures.It representsa performance standard and is not intended to dictate thedesign,materials,or construction of those closures.1.4 UnitsThe values stated in SI u
7、nits are to be regardedas the standard.The values in parentheses are for informationonly.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices a
