Derailleur: There are two such mechanisms: a front derailleur and a rear derailleur. The front derailleur moves the chain between the selection of gears on the crankset; the rear derailleur moves the chain between the selection of gears on the rear wheel.
Chain: The loop of links that connects the front gears to the rear gears.
Freewheel: The set of rear gears. Freewheels and freehubs have a confusing overlap of terminology. In a general sense, the freewheel is the set of gears that the chain turns in order to apply drive forces to the rear wheel.
Crankset: The mechanism that is turned by the rider’s feet. It consists of two lever arms called crank-arms, one to three gears called chainrings, and a bearing assembly that the crank arms rotate around called the bottom bracket.
Bottom bracket: The bearing assembly that allows the crankset to rotate in the bottom-bracket shell.

General Terminologi of Bicycle Parts – Frame Set
Chapters on individual component areas of the bicycle have more specific terminology and definitions. For the purpose of this manual, the following terms apply to the frame and basic components.
Frame: The structural piece, usually a number of tubes joined together, to which all of the components are attached.
Fork: The structural piece that attaches the frame to the front wheel. The fork turns to allow the rider to control the bicycle.
Frame set: The frame and fork combination. Head tube: The near-vertical tube that is the forward most part of the frame.
Top tube: The upper tube of the frame that extends back from the head tube to the seat tube.
Down tube: The lower tube of the frame that extends from the bottom of the head tube to the bottom of the frame (the bottom-bracket shell).
Seat tube: The near-vertical tube that is at the middle of the frame, which the seat post slides into.
Bottom-bracket shell: The portion of the frame that contains the crankset bearing parts, which are called the bottom bracket.
Seat stay: The two tubes of the frame that start from below the seat and meet the chain stays at the center of the rear wheel.
Chain stay: The two tubes of the frame that go from the lower end of the seat tube and meet the seat stays at the center of the rear wheel.
Dropout: The fittings at the end of the fork, and at the juncture of the seat stays and the chain stays, to which the wheels are attached.

Tips for Effective Communication with Cyprus People
Official language: Greek.
English: the vast majority of business people have a good command of English.
1. Be clear and concise
- Less is more: use, short, simple sentences.
- Use active rather than passive voice.
- Don’t use idioms, irony, jargon or dialect expressions.
2. Speak more slowly
- Communicate your message in bite-size chunks, and pause regularly…
- …but maintain the natural rhythm and stress pattern.
3. Reinforce your message
- Maintain eye contact so your listener benefits from facial expression and lip movement.
- Help your audience understand by getting LOUDER on key words and using intonation to communicate meaning.
- Make clear, direct statements.
- ‘Triangulate’ your ideas: repeat them three times in slightly different ways.
4. Make presentations effective
- Adapt your message to the audience in advance.
- Use appropriate graphics and handouts to enhance communications.
- Send through materials in advance, if possible.
- Signpost your main points and summariseat the end.
5. Double-check understanding
- Yours and theirs! Jot down names, numbers and technicalities.
- Ask your audience to repeat key points or arrangements back to you.
