Bottom bracket, it's what the spindle and bearings are.

From Sheldon Brown's webpage. Almost everyting you would want to know about a bike is on his website. A good learning tool.

Thank's,
Bottom bracket,I'd call it crank/bearing set.
I havn't been biking in a while,and need to refresh on some terms.
I'm trying to get a vintage Nishiki up to ride,I managed to grease the dry bearings on the wheels,a little more TLC and I'll be riding.
Been a long time since I worked on a bike so need some refresh on maintenence.
Cleaned/Greased the dry wheel axles,I guess next I need to clean/grease the BB and front headset ?
Thank's

So just "headset" will suffice.
