What Makes Up A Drivetrain?
Just one missing or bad piece on your
shifters, you want to make sure every piece is intact. The main components of a drivetrain are:
*
Pedals: The pedals of the bike are what give it power and make it ride. As you pedal, the different parts of the drivetrain start working which is what makes the bike go forward.
* Cranks: The cranks of the bicycle are connected to the chain and to the pedals. When you pedal, the cranks turn and cause the chain to move, making the bike work properly.
*
Bicycle Chain rings: Chain rings are the teeth like objects that hold the bike's chain, helping it turn.
*
Bicycle Bottom Brackets: The bottom brackets, which are connected to the bike's axle and allows the crankset to rotate correctly.
* Chain: The chain is what makes the bike go. This is an essential part of the bike's drivetrain.
*
Derailleurs: This is the main part of the bike's gear shifting mechanism. This is the part of the drivetrain that determines what speed you travel at.
*
Bicycle Rear Sprocket: The rear sprocket intertwines with the bike's chain.
*
Bicycle Rear Hub: The rear hub is the middle part of the rear wheel of the bike that allows the wheel to turn freely.
