British CEI (Cycle Engineers Institute) Now a day's cycling is a passion for the young thread was adopted as the international standard and generation of Bangladesh. Multi-speed bicycles are is now known as B.S.C. - British Standard Cycle and most preferable to them as it allows gear selection to is a standardized right-hand thread (1.375 x 24 TPI) suit the circumstances: a cyclist could use a high onto which a standard freewheel is screwed. This gear when cycling downhill, a medium gear when allows different brands of freewheels to be mounted cycling on a flat road, and a low gear when cycling on different brands of hubs. uphill. On a Multi-speed bicycle, the cogset or cluster Cassettes are distinguished from freewheels in that a is the set of multiple sprockets that attaches to the cassette has a series of straight splines that form the hub on the rear wheel to provide multiple gear ratios mechanical connection between the sprockets and the to the rider.

  • List of Bicycle Parts
    List of bicycle parts Bicycle parts For other cycling related terms (besides parts) see Glossary of cycling. List of bicycle parts by alphabetic order: Axle: as in the generic definition, a rod that serves to attach a wheel to a bicycle and provides support for bearings on which the wheel rotates. Also sometimes used to describe suspension components, for example a swing arm pivot axle Bar ends: extensions at the end of straight handlebars to allow for multiple hand positions Bar plugs or end caps: plugs for the ends of handlebars Basket: cargo carrier Bearing: a device that facilitates rotation by reducing friction Bell: an audible device for warning pedestrians and other cyclists Belt-drive: alternative to chain-drive Bicycle brake cable: see Cable Bottle cage: a holder for a water bottle Bottom bracket: The bearing system that the pedals (and cranks) rotate around. Contains a spindle to which the crankset is attached and the bearings themselves. There is a bearing surface on the spindle, and on each of the cups that thread into the frame. The bottom bracket may be overhaulable (an adjustable bottom bracket) or not overhaulable (a cartridge bottom bracket). The bottom bracket fits inside the bottom bracket shell, which is part of the bicycle frame Brake: devices used to stop or slow down a bicycle. Rim brakes and disc brakes are operated by brake levers, which are mounted on the handlebars. Band brake is an alternative to rim brakes but can only be installed at the rear wheel. Coaster brakes are operated by pedaling backward Brake lever:
