A rear derailleur (often referred to as a 'rear mech') is the mechanism that moves the chain from cog-to-cog on the cassette at the rear of the bike. The right hand gear shifter on the handlebars pulls a cable (or uses electronic signals) to move the derailleur, which in-turn moves the chain onto the appropriate cog on the cassette. - How to guides

Base layers are the base of any layering system. They are designed to sit next to the skin and wick moisture away from your body.

Thermal base layers can also help to keep you warm by trapping an insulating layer of warm air around the skin. - How to guides
