Abstract:
I. Product and its uses
The Guide Pins are used in the Brake
assembly of the Bicycle. These pins are used
in the sub-assembled parts of brakes and are
rivetted and fixed on the front brake arch and
rear brake arch. The guide pins keep the brake
arches in position. The guide pins move
the holes provided in the clamps fixed on the
chain stay tubes and front fork tubes. The
brake arches consist of' two guide pins each i.
4 Nos. per cycle. The sizes are varying from
3.5 mm. dia. to 5.7 mm, dia and 27 mm.
30 mm. length (Reserve list S. No. 708).
n. Market Potential
As the petrol prices are going up, the demand
for bicycles is increasing day by day. The
bicycle is known as common Man's vehicle
and there is very good demand for it from
rural areas. The demand for bicycle and
bicycle parts is increasing in the home and
export markets both. Generally the brake set
manufacturers purchase this component from
outside so this has to be marketed to the
bicycle brake assemblers only.
