The bicycle, bike or cycle is a human-powered vehicle that is driven by foot pedals. It has a basic frame with two wheels attached to it, one after the other. Almost 1.4 billion people in the world use this vehicle, and is obviously one of the most popular and cost-effective vehicles in use today. Not only is it an important and popular means of transport, but also an effective recreational tool. It has several uses such as police and military applications, courier services and cycling sports as well as adult fitness equipment.
Introduced in the 19th century in Europe, bicycle has a host of innovators and inventors credited to its name. The bicycle is supposed to originate from the human-powered vehicle called Draisines. This was introduced to the people in Paris in 1818 by German Baron Karl von Drais. Kirkpatrick MacMillan made an upgrade to this vehicle by adding a mechanical crank drive that as used to drive the vehicle. Thus, the modern `bicycle` came into being.
The French inventors Pierre Michaux and Pierre Lallement designed a high-seated and big front-wheeled bicycle (ordinary bicycle, as it was formally called) that wasn`t much preferred as of its bad weight distribution. The dwarf ordinary bicycle mended these faults but the front oversized wheel remained a problem to be solved. J.K. Starley`s 1885 Rover was the first modern bicycle in its true sense with even wheels and a proper seat.
The modern bicycle has many parts. They may be jotted down as follows.
Frame - Every bicycle today has a `diamond` frame, where the front triangle consists of the head tube, top tube, down tube and seat tube. The rear triangle consists of the seat tube and chain stays as well as seat stays. The basic of bicycle frames is to have high strength yet low weight so as to optimize the energy of the rider to the fullest. Women`s bicycles generally have a step-through frame. This defines that the top tube is absent as it allows the rider (usually a woman) to mount and dismount in a dignified way while wearing a skirt or dress.
Drivetrain - The pedals which rotate the arms of the mechanical crank and chain rings and the brackets, all are elements of the drivetrain. They are used for gears and other related functions in the bicycle.
Handlebars - The handlebars are one of the most important parts of a bicycle. Upright handlebars are used in normal bicycles while dropped handlebars are used in racing and mountaineering bicycles. The latter are used because they give aerodynamic steering and speed to the biker.
Saddles - The saddles are varying depending on the journey and preference of the rider. Cushioned ones are usually used for short journeys while narrower ones are meant to give more space for leg swings.
Brakes - Modern bicycle brakes are usually rim brakes that use friction pads to de-intensify speed. There are also internal hub brakes that have friction pads within the hubs that halt a speeding bicycle. Disc brakes are used on mountain, racing etc bicycles that need braking to be immediate and accurate.
Suspension - A bicycle has suspension to guard itself from the hard roads and also provide comfort to the rider who has to face the rough road.
Wheels - Wheels are necessary for a bicycle to run and reach its destination. Sizes, shapes and powerful wheels vary as per the rider`s needs and choice.
Cities such as Lyon, Barcelona and Paris have used bicycling schemes to good effect. The journey of the bicycle with the human race has been long and important, and will continue to lengthen as long as the human race still exists!

3 tips to help choose a disc hub, extend its life and keep you safe
There are two common types of baking systems with bicycles that have been manufactured within the last few years. While braking systems are the most important bicycle component, most modern bikes are fitted out with rim brakes which have pads within the hub that compress the wheel from both sides forcing the cycle to come to a stop. The other popular braking system is the disc braking system which is operated by pressing the levers that are on the handlebars on both sides.
Many cyclists toy with ideas of getting the best braking system as it one of the principal bicycle component measuring life and death in no uncertain terms. If they fail on the road you may be end up with a fatal accident. Disc brakes are ideal for all weather conditions. Whether the terrain you are biking in is muddy, watery or snowy, they perform excellently. As they are positioned very close to the hub and away from the ground, dirt and muck cannot stick on the rim. The disc is able to remain clear and clean thus functioning well even in icy or snowy weather conditions.
Mechanically disc brakes are superior as a bicycle component than the rim brakes. With the holes in the rotor, disc brakes clear off the water quickly in adverse weather conditions or terrain that is flooded. It not only helps stop the water but clears it off as well. Rotors always need to be optimum condition than the rims. To give the braking pads in disc brakes a longer life, they are no longer made from rubber but metal. You will require the minimum of effort while applying disc brakes as they modulate well under all conditions.
Now, how do you choose a disc hub that would be part of your bicycle component and would be ideal under all conditions? Manufacturers make them in different sizes according to their calipers and the measurements vary by a few millimeters. Usually the sizes of these bicycle components are 160mm, 185mm or 203mm in diameter. With a longer arm to allow calipers to act, larger rotors will provide greater stopping power. With larger bicycle components as these, your chances of a brake failure are less as heat gets off easily.
Lesser stopping power and weight comes with smaller rotors. Your choice of a disc hub will depend on the type of riding you plan to do with your bike. If you go mountain biking, you would need the larger components. You would require longer braking durations and have more load when you go down hill. But if you are into cross country races, you would need the shorter variety. Smaller rotors can handle even smaller braking loads and save weight. Upon braking most of your weight gets automatically shifted to the front. Braking works well in that way with enhanced traction at the front.
You would need the type of a bicycle component like disc hubs figured out well in advance. You would also need to know the way the bike would be put to use. It is important to know before hand your intended cycling habits and the specifics of the bike or bikes that you are reviewing before deciding on the braking system.

Why won't a 8/9 speed hub/wheelset fit on an older bicycle with a factory 6/7 hub?
I've got an old Norco Kokanee that needs a rebuilt hub, so I figured, why not upgrade to an 8-speed, but I noticed that the sealed 8-speed hub/wheelset from my newer Marin won't fit the old Norco frame (i.e., the hub is too wide for the area allocated). Why is this? Why aren't all frames/hubs a standard width? Mostly, is there any way to get a 8-speed hub onto this bike, or am I stuck with a 6/7? Thanks.
I did it last week.
The process is very long, very stressful because of the risk, and overly frustrating.
First, one spreads the frame to 130mm between the dropouts. Only steel frames can be spread.
Next one runs a string through the dropouts and around the head tube.
One continues to struggle with the frame until there is exactly an even measure between seatpost and string on both sides.
Next, one takes the new wheel and attempts to center it in the frame. This won't work. It will be tilted to one side or the other.
Measuring from a tape mark or pen mark put onto the centerpoint of the new rim, and with the tail of the ruler against the seat stay, one finds the narrowest side. Now one removes 1mm of material from the dropout on that same side.
After that, the new wheel will be straight.
See Sheldon Brown's articles at harriscyclery.com
You can also take the bike to a long-established bike shop that happens to own a "frame table" to get more precise results or you can take/mail the bike to a builder to have it re-sized.
Also possible is the selection of a modern hub of the cup-n-cones (adjustable re-buildable) design.
Now, THAT is the easy way. Simply remove the spacer from the non-drive side. Stack axle spacer washers instead. When those, plus the bolt fits your 126 overlocknut dimension size, have the hub adjusted correctly (easily done) and then have a rim installed.
Whoops! If your rear derailler mounts with a bolt that goes through the rear dropout, then you will also need to add a 1.5mm spacer underneath the bolt to the drive side or else a 12t gear (modern) will push the chain into the derailleur mounting screw. I also did that last week, so it would have been far easier just to re-space the hub and leave the frame alone. 
If you do this to an existing wheel, you will need to tighten the spokes on the drive side to re-dish the wheel so that it runs centered through your brakes. Temporarily set your brakes close and as evenly spaced as possible. Use the brakes as you would a truing stand. Do lots of squeezing on the spokes to guess the tensions approximately even. As a last step, true the wheel for roundness without changing the dish.
The chain that works from an 8 speed rear hub to a front crankset made for 6/7 is HG70 for Shimano 8 speed cassettes or SRAM PC58 if you use the featherweight, high performance PG850 cassette. Chain must match cassette.
For a 9 speed rear drive or a 10 speed rear drive, there is no full compatibility to a crankset made for 6/7 speeds and you would need a replacement crankset.
At this time, you might measure your old chain to see if 24 links (a foot of chain) is more than 1/8" past the 1 foot mark. If so, you'd need a new crankset anyway, so might as well go 9 speed. The new Tiagra 9 is quite a good value.
Whether 8 or 9, you can "hide" a Alivio 8, Deore 9 or Sram 9 (non-numbered Shimano-ready series) mountain "trigger" shifter at the top grip, cyclocross style, near the stem. This is from $24 to $55. Yes, it is a tight fit on road handlebars, but it works fantastic--no long reach over the front. A plain lever can shift the front derailleur with high-quality results. Nice ratcheting alloy models are to be found, and with those, there's no front indexing which can (and usually does) go wrong.
A very high quality shifting option is an economy Campy (doesn't index the front) set matched to a Shimano drivetrain with the $25 Jtek Engineering roller that plugs into a Shimano rear derailleur. These are more reliable than Shimano STI, and can be found for low prices. See the Jtek Engineering website for compatibility/selection.
I'd check aebike.com for shifter options at lower prices.
Also, Ultegra, Dura Ace, and non-series bar end shifters are available. These can be mounted on Paul Components Thumbies adapters so that you can locate shifting (time trial style) wherever you usually put your hands. Now, doesn't that make sense? Personally, I never, and oh, I mean never, hold the bike completely over the front while riding.
A Weinmann or low-priced Shimano hub will usually be of the cup-n-cones design. You can re-space those.
You'll need axle spacer washers (thin 1mm and 1.5mm washers), a spoke wrench (probably green Pedros), a cone wrench (probably 13/15mm Park), and the little cassette remover (installer) tool (Park FR-5) so you can put the cassette on.
The articles on harriscyclery.com will help you to adjust the hub after you have re-spaced it. Hint: It should neither growl/grind or have any slack. This adjustment is exactly like all other cup-n-cones parts like older bottom brackets and all headsets.
Why is the 8/9/10 wider than the 5/6/7?
A severely dished wheel is weaker, so to make room for the extra gears, the bike was widened. Today's mountain bike is 135mm but today's road bike is 130mm.
However, in order to prevent the rear wheel from being weaker, you can just tighten the drive side spokes to a nice firmness. This results in a slightly firmer, but not weaker wheel.
See you down the road!
