Discuss various bi-cycle parts and its materials

1. Frame

Frames can be made from various materials


such as steel, aluminum, carbon fiber, or
titanium and come in different shapes and
sizes to accommodate different types of
bicycles. Road bike frames are usually made
from materials like aluminum, carbon fiber, or
steel.
2. Wheels and tires
Bicycle wheels are essential for movement and balance. They
consist of the hub (center of the wheel), spokes, rim, and tire. The
size and type of wheels can vary depending on the bicycle's
purpose. For instance, road bikes typically have larger, thinner
wheels, while mountain bikes have sturdier, smaller wheels with
knobby tires for better traction on rough terrain.

3. Drivetrain
Parts that make up the drive train are the derailleurs,
chain, crankset, cassette, and bottom brackets.The
choice of specific drivetrain components, such as
the number of gears, gear ratios, and the type of
drivetrain (e.g., single-speed, multi-speed), can vary
depending on the type of bicycle and its intended
use.

4. Steering
The steering system of a road bike primarily
consists of the components that enable the
rider to control the bike's direction and
stability. The stem, headset, fork, bearings,
and bar ends are the main components of a
road bike steering system. The combination of
drop handlebars, stem adjustments, and the
headset's bearing quality allows riders to fine-
tune their riding position for optimal handling
and performance.
5. Finishing kit
The finishing kit on a road bike consists of a
collection of components and accessories that
contribute to the final appearance, functionality, and
comfort of the bike. The finishing kit includes various
parts that complete the build of the road bike and
allow it to be ready for riding, such as the pedals,
handlebars, and saddle.
