Check this link out....no joke

I asked a question on another post about components (bike parts) and didn't realise it to be so huge of a topic. Anyway, I did a search and found this link and reviews for just about every part on a bike, any bike.
This link will keep me reading for days, check it out. it's really something else. Someone has done a hell of a lot of work on this one.

When you get there scroll down to the lists of stuff and click on what you are interested in.

but there a lot of fake reviews too so I have been told. so take the info with a grain of salt.

Right Steve, anything's possible but for a old newbe like me, just getting back into bikes. The lists for all these different components, and all in one site makes for a good reference point and give me the names of most OEM's so I can always go to their own web sites for further info.
Thanks for the heads up. The old saying....you can't believe everything you read. In the least it will save me some time searching.

I agree it is a good place to start. but then do a search here and on usenet. I usualy find more info here if there is info about that item.

Although a bit dated, here's a decent Shimano's hierarchy:
