Bike Parts Glossary

People who are new to the world of cycling are often surprised by all the different bike parts that go into building a bike base. With all the variety out there, working on a bike can quickly become a daunting task. To help eliminate some confusion, we have created this glossary of bicycle parts. Here you will find explanations for all the basic components you need to build a bike that is practicable.

The bike parts below are listed alphabetically.

Bracket: A bracket is between the cranks and contains cartouches bearing the pedal that can rotate.

brake cables / pipes: These connect the brake levers to the brakes themselves. The cables are used to control the mechanical brakes. The pipes are used with hydraulic disc brakes.

Brake Levers: These are the parts that you squeeze the brakes. Brake Levers mountain biking are fixed horizontally on the handlebars. Road levers are mounted vertically. Some brake levers (more commonly road brake levers) are integrated into the controller.

Brakes: If you need to stop your bike, the brakes apply friction to the wheels, slowing you down. There are several types of brakes:

• Disc brakes consist of a metal disc that is attached to the hub of the wheel. A bracket attached to the chassis of the bike or fork squeezes the disc between two brake pads to stop the wheel. Disc brakes can be controlled mechanically or hydraulically.
• V-brakes to stop shaking the wheel rim. They attach to the fork or frame in a vertical position and leverage to stop a great facility.
• Cantilever brakes put pressure on the rim as well. They connect to the bike in a more horizontal position.
• brakes on the road, like V-brakes and cantilever brakes, but the two brake pads are connected to the wheel, where the Assembly attaches to the bike.

Cassette: Basically, the tape is a stacked group of teeth. It attaches to the rear wheel and grabbed the string so that the wheel rotates with the movement of the chain.

Chain: The chain connects the pedals and the rear cassette tray, so when you pedal, the bike moves effectively. When the chain is moved up a level or a level on the cassette tray assembly (switching speed), you get more or less resistance pedaling. To function properly, the string must be compatible with the tray, cassette and frame size.

Trays: These are the rings more connected to the pedals. They have teeth around the perimeter to grab the chain and holes (usually five) in the middle to connect to the spider. The diameter of the circle of those invisible holes in the middle is called to respect the diameter "bolt circle.

Pedals: Pedals are attached to the crank, and a pair of crank is a crank. Often, the pedals are sold with the spider plate. "Integrated Crankset" are those who have attached the pin.

Derails: They control the lateral movement of the chain. A front derailleur moves the chain onto the front plate, while the rear derailleur moves to the rear cassette. Some derailleur clamp on the frame of the bike. Others are soldered on.

Fork: The fork assembly is composed of the head tube that is inserted into the tube of the frame, and two posts that hold the front wheel.

Frame: The bike frame is a tube (usually metal or carbon) to which each party other bike is attached. They come in a variety of sizes and styles. Taller people need a broader framework than the small people.

Grip: Stock Rubber grips are handles that slide over the ends of the handlebar mountain bike and cruiser. They provide hands with cushioning and better control.
