OEM
When it comes to Original Equipment Manufacturer items, the OEM label tells you that you’re getting parts that come straight from the establishment that created your ride. Generally, OEM parts are the ones that were already on your machine when you bought it new, although occasionally you can also purchase upgraded parts made by your bicycle manufacturer and these are seen as OEM too.
Usually, OEM parts get built in-house, and in the very same factory that your bicycle comes from. But this is not always the case, because certain makers subcontract other major players to construct parts for their bikes that were initially available as original equipment. But, even if they get built by someone else, if they come to you on your bike from the factory, they will be considered as original equipment.
