The word | The word ''wheel'' refers to the entire assembly of tire, tube, rim, spokes, hub, and cogs. They all turn on the axle of the wheel. The key parts that allow the wheel to turn are the ball bearings, which are sandwiched between a ''cup'' that holds the bearings, and a ''cone'' that rests against the inside of the bearings. | ||
Both wheels, the bottom bracket, pedals, and the headset all use this same basic mechanism to rotate. We will learn how to service wheel hubs and bottom brackets, and possibly headsets too, but the procedures are usually very similar. | Both wheels, the bottom bracket, pedals, and the headset all use this same basic mechanism to rotate.

Show a bottom bracket when talking about them, since it's not apparent what that is or how the cranks attach to it. Showing a cutaway hub, with caged bearings showing, as well as a separate, loose cup & cone assembly is very helpful to demonstrate hubs. | Show a bottom bracket when talking about them, since it's not apparent what that is or how the cranks attach to it.
