26 mountain bikes

bike riders can be divided into two general categories - those who only want to access the bike and go, and someone else to do repairs, and those who like to tinker with the bike almost as much as they are the Biking.

For the two categories, it is really important to deal with cycling terminology.

Instead of this terminology in alphabetical order, I list, where it is on the bike.

So, let's start at the front of the bike.

The front of the bike

The handlebar is connected to the controller through the tube formed. The stem comes in various lengths, depending on how high you want the handlebars to be.

You control the bike by the handlebars, with the STEERING TUBE, better known as the head tube or headset. This is the shortest pipe on the bike, along vertically. The top tube runs horizontally from your place is with the headset, the definition of pipe.

The head tube is also connected to the front fork - the mechanism of the front wheel on the spot to which your FRONT SHOCK will - provided you have a shock absorber on the front and our bike.

The wheels consist of a number of different parts. 24. The hub is the center of the wheel where the spokes are attached. From this the spokes radiate, and are at the edge. Through the front of the tire, you can "" true "the wheel by tightening or loosening of the spokes. The more spokes you have, the more stable your tires. The spokes are on the edge of Nipples - Threaded receptacles, the spokes securely.

To have your handlebar brake lever, which come in various designs. The left lever, regardless of design, the front and the right side of the rear brake. The brake cable, the "instructions" to break, to break even - regardless of whether they

The middle of the bike

The upper horizontal pipe runs from the front headset to your seat. It is the length of the top tube that defines how far you have to lean to the handlebars, so it is important that you have a bike with a top tube of the correct length for your torso .. STEM VEGETABLES although at the front of the bike also help. It is for the top tube that you want your "standover clearance. ""

The DOWN TUBE runs from headset to bottom bracket. Overall, these three tubes form a triangle - that is what the power of the bike.

The bottom bracket is compatible with the SEAT TUBE, the tube that is perpendicular to the bottom and where you sit when you are in your seat or SATTEL at the appropriate height in the tube.

At the lower end of the seat tube is your crankset - the machine that is sent to your bike when you pedal, or crank. It is a "set", which means that there are things in it - the ring-chain where the chain is, the crank ARMS, the lever, which is down and on the pedals, which are secured . A spindle connects the crank to free the rotating axis.

The bracket attaches the crankset to replace the bike - and its about this, that the AB-TUBE is remembered.

The back of the bike

The chain runs in the middle of the bike on the back of the bike, along the chain stay. The chainring is a set of toothed rings on the crank with the chain. If you have a bike with a lot of speed, then you have Derailleurs also what is the mechanism for the movement of the chain of a large tooth to another, either facilitate or hamper to pedal, depending on the size of the rings.

The chain stays are tubes horizontally from the crank to the rear cogset. The STAY BACK is the tube that is from the top of the seat tube to the rear, where a triangle with the chain stays.

The Pulley PULLEY to the switch, or COG, and the tension needed to determine the chain.

If you have a dual-suspension bike, then you have a damper - or shock absorbers.

A bit more about the wheels. The wheels are connected to the frame by a skewer, a metal rod passing through the hub and the dropouts (slots in the fork and rear triangle, where the axles of the wheels set).
