Steering and Braking System

 

  • Handlebars: The handlebars are used by the rider to steer the bicycle. 
  • Stem: Connects handlebars to the head tube
  • Fork: Holds the front wheel, steerer is attached to the fork and connects it to the handlebars allowing the rider to steer
  • Integrated Shifter/Brake Lever: Uses hydraulic fluid to transmit the force from your hand to the brake
  • Cable Housing: Holds the cables in place and give it something to push against.
  • Brake Cable: How the hydraulic fluid gets to the brakes
  • Brake: Reduces the speed of the bicycle.

Transmission System

  • Integrated Shifter/Brake Lever: Mechanism to control the gear ratio
  • Front Derailleur: Mechanism that shifts the chain on the bike when the gear is changed
  • Crank Arm: Uses the rotational motion produced by the pedals to drive the chain.
  • Chain Rings: Part of the crankset, attached to the crank arm.
  • Chain: Utilizes the power provided by the crank arm to drive the wheels of the bicycle.
  • Rear Derailleur: Mechanism that shifts the chain on the bike when the gear is changed
  • Cassette: the set of rear sprockets that attaches the hub on the rear wheel

Wheel System

  • Spokes: Connecting rods between the bicycle hub and rim to transfer loads caused by the weight of the rider and the bike.
  • Rim: Outer edge of the wheel holding the tire
