  Sheldon Brown's Bicycle Glossary Ca--Ce
A brake caliper attaches to the bicycle by a single bolt, through the center of the fork crown or the brake bridge on the seat stays.
The parts are not generally as stong as those that can be made by forging, and parts made in a re-usable mould cannot be of as complicated shape as is possible with CNC machining from billets, because some shapes cannot be removed from a mould without breaking it.
In the case of measuring bicycle frames, all measurements are assumed to be center-to-center except for the seat tube length.

 Cassette (bicycle part) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On a bicycle, the cassette or the freewheel is the set of rear sprockets that attaches to a hub on the rear wheel.
The cassette is a later development of a cogset than the freewheel.
Cassettes are distinguished from freewheels in that a cassette typically has a series of straight splines that form the mechanical connection between the gears and the hub.

 8f.5 Cassette or Freewheel Hubs take 2   (Site not responding. Last check: )
People often ask ``should I use a freewheel or a freehub?'' The answer is usually ``yes.'' The hub is the center of a wheel and is composed of an axle, bolted to the bike frame, a hub shell or hub body, where the spokes attatch, and bearings to let the shell rotate around the axle.
Cassettes fix the problem by incorporating one hub bearing in to the freewheel mechanism, so that the bearing is once again outboard and the axle is carrying its load under less leverage.
As an aside, the cassette solution leaves a fairly long unsupported axle stub on the left side, and this is sometimes a source of more bending problems.

 Sheldon Brown's Bicycle Glossary Sp--Ss
British bicycles, for years, used to use 40 spokes in the rear, and 32 in the front.
Bicycles which are subjected to rough handling, however, are prone to getting the rear derailer bashed in, and in such a case, the spoke protector can prevent very serious damage.
In the case of a rigid-frame bicycle, the "sprung" weight would consist of the rider's trunk and head, while the rider is off the saddle, carrying his or her weight on bent knees/elbows.

 felixwong.com » Shimano Cassette/Campy 9sp
There are other — perhaps better — solutions now including using a JTek Shiftmate or using a post-2001 9-speed Campy shifter cog (in the Ergopower lever) in conjuction with a pre-2001 Campy rear derailleur.
In fact, according to some USENET newsgroup cycling enthusiasts, a Shimano 9-speed cassette can be used as is with Campagnolo components without any modifications whatsoever, as long as the narrower Shimano chain is used.
The spacing between the largest 5 cogs in both Shimano and Campagnolo cassettes is 2.5mm.

 SOLON BICYCLE - Chain Replacement And Repair
This is important, because if you seat the chain on the middle groove and try to drive out the pin, you may break that part of the tool.
Be sure the chain isn't resting on anything but the pulleys and that it forms a backwards S where it passes through the pulleys (photos, below: notice that in the one marked "wrong," the chain is dragging on the metal cage).
Now place the chain tool on the chain so that the link you're working on is seated completely and resting against the back (strongest) shelf of the tool with the tool's pin aligned to press directly on the special replacement pin when you turn the tool's handle (photo, right).
