ABSTRACT:
An apparatus (30) for measuring the tension in an elongate flexible member (20) comprises a body member (32) provided with first and second engagement means (38, 40) thereon. The first and second engagement means (38, 40) are arranged in opposed relationship and define a non-linear path therebetween for receiving a tensioned elongate flexible member (20) along the path and in engagement with the first and second engagement means (38, 40) to apply a lateral force between the first and second engagement means (38, 40). The first and second engagement means (38, 40) allow longitudinal movement of the tensioned member (20) through the apparatus (30). The apparatus (30) further comprises means for measuring the speed of movement of the flexible member. The speed measuring means comprises means for measuring the frequency of cyclical variations in the lateral force. A chain tension measuring device for a bicycle, incorporating the tension measuring apparatus or transducer (30), is also provided and includes mounting apparatus (70) for mounting the transducer (30) on a bicycle.
