Key Mountain Bike Parts:
Here are a few key parts of a mountain bike;
Bottom Bracket
This essential bicycle component is an important part of the bike frame and has a space for the axle which is attached to the pedal crank. In absence of bottom bracket, the pedals do not turn.
Crank:
The crank is a main connection between the bottom bracket axle with the pedal. It usually comes in two different sets, one with two cranks and another with a set of chain rings or sprockets through which the chain passes.
Cassette:
The cassette refers to a cluster of chain rings used on a rear wheel. This is mainly used for attaching hub to the bike frame and the chain passes through it.
Hub:
The hub forms the central and integral part of the bike's wheel. It is comprises of an axle - which attaches to the forks on the front wheel, an outer shell - which attaches to the wheel spokes and bearings - which connect the axle to the hub shell allowing it to rotate freely.
Important Bike Parts

It is important to choose the most suitable bike parts that provide strength and lightness to your bike. However, you can make cheap bike parts with some of the materials such as steel or even plastic. Plastic is used because it is light but not considered very durable and does flex. Let's look at some of the prominent bike parts which can be used conveniently according to your specifications.
Chain sets, Gears, Brakes and Wheels:
In earlier days, gears, chain sets and wheels were made from steel as it is very strong but heavy at the same time. As the technology developed, alloy was seen in use to make stronger and more durable biking equipment. Today, the market is full of manufacturers who make special bike parts by using the most suited material for giving the best riding experience to riders. Also, these companies come with innovative designs combined with practical ideas to attract bikers who yearn for something different and more advanced every time.
Bike Parts Manufacturers:
