The dork disk is the plastic disc that is between your spokes and your casette. Sometimes it's black, sometimes it's clear. It's there to protect your spokes from your chain and all that it entails.
Is there any picture floating around BF with all the parts of the bicycle arrowed and labeled or something so that someone who's new to the hobby can look at and learn their way around the bike?

It seems so freakin simple - it's just a bicycle, but yet there's approximately 1 zillion terms that I have no idea about floating around these forums with regard to the parts of the bike. I have skimmed through one of those glosary things someone put together, but without being able to look at a picture at the same time it's hard to picture all the different tubes, stems, gears, cassettes, discs, levers, gadgetmadohickey's, etc.

and what's OCP stand for again?
