   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bicycle_parts

   Rim: that part of a wheel to which the tire is attached and often forms part of the braking mechanism; Rotor: 1) the disc component of a disc brake. 2) another name for a detangler - a device that allows the handlebars and fork to revolve indefinitely without tangling the rear brake cable. Safety levers: extension levers, and interrupt brake ...

3. Bicycle wheel - Wikipedia

   Carbon fiber disc wheel. Disc wheels are designed to minimize aerodynamic drag. A full disc is usually heavier than traditional spoke wheels, and can be difficult to handle when ridden with a cross wind. For this reason, international cycling organizations often ban disc wheels or limit their use to the rear wheel of a bicycle. However ...

4. Bicycle brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_brake

   The rod-actuated brake, or simply rod brake (roller lever brake in Raleigh terminology), uses a series of rods and pivots, rather than Bowden cables, to transmit force applied to a hand lever to pull friction pads upwards against the inner surface, which faces the hub, of the wheel rim. They were often called "stirrup brakes" due to their shape.

   Bora 50 and 35 wheels become available in Clincher and adopt a wider rim profile. 2015 Potenza group is introduced. 2017 Centaur group reintroduced as Campagnolo's least expensive 11-speed group. 2018 12-speed Super Record and Record mechanical groups are introduced.(for disc and rim brake) Bora WTO (Wind Tunnel Optimized) wheels are introduced.

6. Bicycle - Wikipedia

   Linear-pull brake, also known by the Shimano trademark: V-Brake, on rear wheel of a mountain bike. Bicycle brakes may be rim brakes, in which friction pads are compressed against the wheel rims; hub brakes, where the mechanism is contained within the wheel hub, or disc brakes, where pads act on a rotor attached to the hub. Most road bicycles ...

7. Racing bicycle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racing_bicycle

   The wheels greatly affect the performance of a racing bike. The rim of the wheel can be shaped for greater aerodynamic efficiency making a triangular cross-section to form a teardrop with the tire. For aerodynamics and rotating weight, it is generally better to reduce the number of spokes in the wheel. For high-end wheelsets, the spokes can be ...
