Bike diagram

[DewtheDew]

Hey anybody have like a bike diagram or chart that names all the parts of a trial bike? Im a visualization person, it helps me alot to see the parts all put together and to see their names. Thanks!

[DewtheDew]

No? Nobody?

Some other things to consider that diagram doesn't point out.

Rear stay spacing being 135 Stock (Standard Mountain Bike rear hub cassette style spacing)

Rear stay spacing being 116 Mod\Stock (not standard for Stock and uses MOD 20" stay width). (not sure of story behind this really) most ride 135, 116 is new niche thats not mainstream yet. My Adamant A1 is a stock / mod and my reason was I wanted horizontal dropouts beings it was a single speed anyway and didn't want a chain tensioner.

Vertical Dropouts will likely require chain tentioner and allows for rear derailleur if so desired and uses 135 stay widths. No fuss no muss installing rear wheel due to screwing with snail cams. There is something to be said for quickly puting on the rear wheel believe me. Sometimes I'm messing wround with my snail cams longer than I want to on my Stock\Mod.

Horizontal Dropouts are used in both stock 135 and stock mod 116 and are gererally for single speed setups and do not need chain tensioner and use snail cams for right left \ tension settings and have no derailleur hanger. There are a few bikes such as the BT Raven 7.0 that is basically a hoizontal chain tug design but offers a derailleur hanger as well.

Chain tugs and or snails are axle related to horizantal dropout for truing wheel to bike and lock it in place so chain won't get to much slack unless it new and stretches which may require a tug or snail ajustment once you losen hub bolts.

I don't think I missed anything but mau have so other please chime in.

Also some trials bikes use front free wheels threaded on the crank arm opposed to rear freewheel or cassette Hub. There are many opinions on what is better \ pros and cons etc... all over this forum.

now why the heck did you just do that ? all the dude wanted is a simple ass bike diagram cuz he probably can't tell the stem from the bottom bracket, but you decided it was the proper time to write a novel on rear stay spacing and snail cams.


if you get neg rep, you know who it's from :Wavey:

who the fuck cares?

Just trying to help out. Some of that was pretty basic to any bike and thought I would mention the not so easy things to point out in a nomenclature photo. I would love to be able to give you back the 30 sec of you life you wasted but you would spend it bashing another post so I'll take one for the sport.

neg rep for trying to help, are you kidding me. Perhaps you never needed to learn anything. I wish a had savant abilities such as yours.

this is a very helpful thread

[dkoppric]

anyway, I don't want to argue, I noticed that you're a new member so I'll give you some pos, so that you don't think OTN is full of resentful jerks that piss on every bit of trivia they dislike

it doesnt matter what you give to anyone because you are in the red, therefore all anyone can see from you is a comment and a little clear square.

The original poster is obviously new to trials, and at least fairly new to bike maintenance and part knowledge. Multismith saw this and figured that he would help out by giving him more information. While the original poster may or may not have benefited from this added information, it didn't hurt and another beginner may have learned from it. Why get upset about this?

[full_clipp]

I love everyone in here :love:

Nice edits.

Cool diagram and cool explanation multismith.

wow im retarded. for some reason i was thinking 135 was single speed only width. good to know that i can use a standard hub on a stock bike!
