5 is the thingy that you are supposed to put between the discs when you take off the wheel, except I have never bothered.
No idea on the rest.

No. 1's off my bike. That's where it went. Could you return it ASAP please?
In terms of names, erm, about 4 of them

2 is a cassette spacer. Looks a bit like a Mavic one. 5 is an insert for Shimano brifters to reduce reach.

Look carefully at no.19 and you'll see that it's got a hole drilled into it up near the head, where that copper washer is (another clue). It's closely related to no.12.

This isn't going well at all; I'm disappointed at the lack of bodging experience on this forum. Let's ask @Yellow Saddle if he can name the bits.

A couple of days ago there was a thread going about all the tiny bits and pieces that the bike mechanic hoards in the toolkit.
So here's a selection I picked out from the depths of my toolkit. As you can see, some are two or three bits that form one assembly. One has nothing to do with bikes at all and is there to fox you. The person who gets them all right wins two deluxe zip ties and two unused cable end titties.
1) Barrel adjuster
2) Cassette spacer
3) Brake cable ferrule
4) B-tension insert for RD
5) Shimano brake lever reach adjuster
6) Dunno
7) Cant see it properly
8) RD spring load pivot
9) Can't see
10) Caliper mount nut
11) Dunno
12) Can't see properly but looks like hydraulic hose insert/end piece.
13) Avid brake pad spring and pin
14) Looks like a conical washer from V-brake
15) FD Braze-on mount washer
16) SPD cleat washer
17) FD braze-on mount bolt
18) Carbon crank pedal washers
19) Hydraulic brake bolt for banjo
20) Cant see properly
It is difficult to see the third dimension of some of the items. Nice quiz though.

I was just going to say that but good job I started reading through the rest of the thread.
Edited to say I have no idea what the other 19 bits are.
