Picture Caption: Beware this is a road bike other bikes with have similar components but not the same as this road bike.
• Frame: The frame of the bike holds everything together and consist of the Head tube, Top Tube, Down Tube, Seat Tube, Seat Stays, and Chain Stays.
• Head Tube: The head tube contains the headset, the bearings for the fork.
• Top Tube: The top tube connects the top of the head tube to the top of the seat tube.
• Down Tube: The down tube is connected to the head tube. Also used to hold bottle Cages
• Seat Tube: This connects the down tube with the top tube and the seat stays.
• Seat Stays: This is used to hold the rear wheel on and connects to the chain stays.
• Chain Stays: The chain stays run parallel to the chain, connects …show more content…
• Front Derailleur: Used to change the front gears
• Wheels: consist of rims and tires. Includes two wheels
• Rims: Holds spokes, the hub and has a whole for the Valve Stem
• Hub: Holds on the spokes
• Spokes: Spokes are metal pipes that are like rims on a bike. They add strength to your rim, transfer your leg power from the hub to the wheel, and support your weight on the wheel.
• Inner tubes: Rubber tubes that hold the Air in the tires has valve that are accessible to through the rim or by removing the tire
• Tires: Outer rubber that goes around the rim that protects the inner tube and the rim from the road
• Brake Cable: This is the cable that sends the command to break to the breaks
• Brake: This is used to slow down the tire. Consist of brake pads or shoes
• Brake Pads: These are rubber pieces used on the brake they clamp the rim
• Saddle: The seat and is used to sit on you change the saddle or adjust its position
