   Braided stainless steel brake lines (also known as braided stainless steel brake hoses) are flexible hoses fitted to a hydraulic brake system. The intent of braided stainless steel brake lines is to improve brake system effectiveness and longevity as compared to an equivalent system fitted with flexible rubber hoses through near-elimination of hose expansion.

8. Front freewheel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front_freewheel

   The Shimano Front Freewheel (FFS) was a proprietary bicycle drivetrain design of the 1970s that placed a freewheel between the pedal cranks and the front chainrings – enabling the rider to shift gears while coasting. [2] FFS rear freewheel is different than a standard freewheel because it's "stiff" with more friction than a normal rear freewheel.

9. Bottom bracket - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bottom_bracket

   Around 2001, Shimano was manufacturing proprietary bottom bracket components with patents. Bike frame manufacturers would then create bikes with the patented bottom brackets as a guiding light around the shell area. This caused aftermarket brands to struggle in creating a bottom bracket that would fit into bikes that came with OEM Shimano parts.
