nick_the_wheelbuilder Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 It's a small issue but good for a Friday thread I think. My pet peeve is when someone calls a Shimano external BB "GXP" which is a SRAM-specific product. Guys, the Shimano one is Hollowtech II (HT2) Happy weekend!

Patchelicious Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 When someone refers to any brake lever as an STI? Does that count?
CogitoErgoSum Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Now that we are on the subject.... Is it pronounced ES-RAM or SSSSRAM? Any other mis-pronounciations?
Tumbleweed Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 "I need a new rim", when asked by a non-English-speaker in a bike shop, can sometimes mean a rim, but often refers to a tyre, tube, whole wheel, or anything basically that's round. I've heard "pedal axle" used for crank. "Cleats" is often used to mean pedals.

Tumbleweed Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 People ask for a "jockey" when they want a derailleur.

Tumbleweed Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Oh, and Mavic is supposed to be pronounced "mav-ique" apparently...
