The drivetrain consists of the parts of the bicycle that transmit power
to the rear wheel:
• Pedals (and toe-clip assemblies on some models)
• Crankset and bottom bracket- left and right crank arms,
chainring(s), and bottom bracket (the axle and bearings on which
the crankset rotates)
(Figure 1)
• Cassette and chain
When the drivetrain is
working properly, shift-
ing is easy, your bike is
quiet, and its efficiency can
reach its maximum. Read
and follow the sections
that discuss the parts that
comprise the drivetrain to
make sure all the parts are
working properly.

The Bontrager Race XXX
Lite crankset is made from
OCLV carbon fiber com-
posite. Carbon fiber is among the strongest materials used in bicycle
manufacture. However, carbon fiber has unique qualities, different from
metal parts, and must be inspected carefully for damage. Follow the
inspection procedures in the Maintenance section.
