Hi.

I volunteer at an after school program working with inner-city kids in the USA. The kids who come to the program earn a free bicycle over a 12 week period. Each week the program teaches the children how a different bike part works, the proper names of the parts, and basic maintenance for each part.

Here is where I could use your help. About 50% of the program's participants are native Spanish speakers, but no one knows the names of all the bike parts in Spanish. Would someone here be willing to translate a list of bike parts for me? The list is fairly long and it would be very helpful to have the names of small parts, for example, acorn nut, straddle cable, cone, etc.

It would be super helpful, so thanks in advance. I hope someone can help.

Unless you frame is female, then it's Maria.

A frame can be "marco" in Spanish, it's just not a bicycle frame :wink: . More like framework. En el marco de la Interbike SRAM anunció... or sumpn.

Hi,

Radio is not correct.
One should say "rayo" when you mean a spoke.

Ciao, :wink:
