Frame
- Saddle: Seat
- Seat Tube: Contains the seat post
- Seat Stay: Connects the Seat tube to the rear fork dropouts
- Seat Rails: Supports the Saddle
- Top Tube: Sloped downwards toward the seat tube, connected between the seat tube and the head tube
- Seat Post: Supports the Saddle
- Chain Stay: connects bottom bracket to rear fork
- Down Tube: Connects the heat tube to the bottom bracket shell
Fork Back Dropout: Where the axle of the rear wheel is attached, allows the rear wheel to be removed without derailing the chain.
- Fork Back Dropout: Where the axle of the front wheel is attached.
Steering System
- Headset: Provides rotatable interface between fork and head tube
- Stem: Connects handlebars to the head tube
- Head Tube: The tube which the steerer of the fork passes through
- Handlebars: The handlebars are used by the rider to steer the bicycle.
- Fork: Holds the front wheel, steerer is attached to the fork and connects it to the handlebars allowing the rider to steer
- Fork Crown: Brace which the Fork and steerer attach, usually aluminum and hollow to reduce weight.
Braking System
- Integrated 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
- Spokes: Connecting rods between the bicycle hub and rim to transfer loads caused by the weight of the rider and the bike.
- Hub: Center of the wheel, engagement points allow for less energy to be lost.
- Rim: Outer edge of the wheel holding the tire
- Tire: Locked into the rim allows the bike to grip the surface it is riding on, ride smooth
- Valve: How the tire is pumped up with air, 80 to 130 psi.
- Gear Shifter: Mechanism to control the gear ratio
- Front Derailleur: Mechanism that shifts the chain on the bike when the gear is changed
- Pedals: How the rider increases the speed of the bike by rotating the crank arm.
- 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
- Cogset: the set of rear sprockets that attaches the hub on the rear wheel
