<p>A torque sensor for a bicycle bottom bracket assembly (30) having a bottom bracket axle (43) includes an axle supporting member (42) for supporting the axle for rotation around a support axis. The axle supporting member has a first sensor mounting location (46a), and a first pressure sensor (45a) is provided for placement at the first sensor mounting location. In a more specific embodiment, the axle supporting member includes a second sensor mounting location (46b, 46c, 46d) and a second pressure sensor (45b, 45c, 45d) is provided for placement at the second sensor mounting location. The second sensor mounting location (46b, 46c, 46d) may be spaced apart from the first sensor mounting location (46a) in the direction of the support axis. In this case the second sensor mounting location (46d) may face the first sensor mounting location (46a) in the direction of the support axis or may be disposed diagonally (46b) across from the first sensor mounting location (46a) in the direction of the support axis. Alternatively, the second sensor mounting location (46c) may face the first sensor mounting location (46a) in the radial direction of the axle supporting member (42). <IMAGE></p> |
