Although I have been riding quite a while, I never got very serious untill now and after reading the threads I was wondering if anyone can point me to the termanology used for a road bike (cassetts, stems) and all that good stuff.
A diagram would be great, maybe a web site
Thanks:confused:

Gee, I dunno from cassettes. I still have an 8-track on my bike :rolleyes:

There is a good website http://www.sheldonbrown.com/home.html, that has darn near everything you need to know, and then some.
Also try http://www.cycle-info.bpaj.or.jp/english/index.html

It depends on which side of the Atlantic you find yourself on. ;)
