3. Brake lever<\/strong> – The lever on the handlebar to activate the brakes. The left side is the front brake and the right side is the rear brake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Chain<\/strong> – The circular set of links that transfer power from the chain ring to the cogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Chain ring<\/strong> – The toothed rings that attach to the crank to hold the chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Crank<\/strong> – The lever that extends from the bottom bracket to the pedal, transferring the power to the chain rings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Derailleur<\/strong> – The mechanism for moving the chain from one cog to another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Down tube<\/strong> – The section of frame that extends downward from the stem to the bottom bracket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Front shock<\/strong> – The shock absorber on the front fork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. Handlebar<\/strong> – The horizontal bar attached to the stem with handgrips on the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11. Headset<\/strong> – The mechanism in front of the frame that connects the front fork to the stem and handlebars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12. Hub<\/strong> – The center part of the wheel that the spokes are attached to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

13. Idler pulley<\/strong> – The bottom pulley of the rear derailleur that provides spring tension to keep the chain tight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

14. Nipple<\/strong> – A threaded receptacle that holds the end of the spoke to the rim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

15. Pedal<\/strong> – The platform to pedal on; attaches to the crank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

19. Seat post<\/strong> – Offers support for the seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

20. Skewer<\/strong> – The metal rod that goes through the hub, attaching the wheel to the dropouts of the frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

21. Spindle<\/strong> – The free rotating axle that the crank arms attach to; also a part of the bottom bracket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

22. Spokes<\/strong> – The thick wires that join the hub to the rim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

23. Stem<\/strong> – A piece that attaches the handlebar to the steering tube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
