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:
Essentially it would be a newbies guide to fixed gear bike parts and function.
someone PLEASE do it! if this already exists, please link me to it.

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.

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.

there seems to be a lot of self righteous people on here.
