A request for BF Experts
Can someone take pictures of their bike parts, or take an existing picture, and list every single part.
Like, i hear people talking about chainrings....and im used to them being called cranks from my experience with walmart bikes...and it took me forever to figure out what the chainring was. I think a list accompanied by a picture of the part and a small explination of what the parts purpose is will help me, and many other people tremendously. Example of what i mean: Chainring: http://www.pricepoint.com/images/sty...0%20BLAMV5.jpg (enter a little description of the function of the chainring here) Cog: http://a3.twimg.com/profile_images/5..._LZ_bigger.jpg (enter a little description of the function of the cog here) someone PLEASE do it! if this already exists, please link me to it. |
Sheldon brown will be like a bible. Read it, love it, memorize it by heart.
otherwise: http://webpages.scu.edu/ftp/jkblack/...ts_labeled.jpg |
that link is basically what i was looking for, thanks!!
|
Damn it. I already cleared my calendar for the next week so I could rip my bike apart, photograph and label every piece of it.
|
Wait...you mean you haven't already done that?

No way, dude. I labeled each individual bearing in my GR9s. That was tough!
|
Not sure that it's the same, but instead of labeling, I named all the parts on my bike. For example, there's Stanley the stem and Billy the bars.
|
Sometime when I am volunteering at the coop I like to mess with people... I am sure they are a little disturbed when the mechanic says he needs to look at the gear changing thingamajig or wheel stoppers.
|
Actually made me chuckle to myself, well played, sir!

When I was learning, I googled the part that people were talking about I was unfamiliar with. Worked 100% of the time, half the time.
|
^...that doesn't make sense. [/Ron Burgandy]
|
when i was much more unfamiliar with bikes than now, i really wanted a website that has everything too. For me i need a graphic to go along with an explanation. It helps me understand a lot better. Takes a lot of googling, but u'll get there.

I'll start.
