Things you've heard people call parts or equipment

[MORNE]

In the days of quill stems, I heard many guys call them goose necks.

 

Oh, and it's a saddle, not a seat.

But the why is it called a seatpost? Lol

[Yassis]

Tires or Tyers?

Tyres

[Thomo]

When local okes call a bottle a bidon.

A little like Chamois vs Shammy ...

But the why is it called a seatpost? Lol

Cause cycling nomenclature is insane.

If someone does that, you stick your pump in his spokes.

The correct spelling is Aurgust.

, sorry, rookie error.

There also seems to be a very common misconception that biopace was the same as the new oval shaped chain rings.

Also, fun fact - it’s apparently also only a quill stem if it has the 45* sliding bolt bit at the bottom vs some that use an expander with slots. Quill came from the bottom bit’s resemblance to quill pens.

‘Seat’, steering and controls? That one doesn't really bother me, makes sense.

Brake vs Break

 

Because when brakes break they don't brake

[PhilipV]

The correct spelling is Aurgust.

Gauranteed that the user of that word has never picked up a copy of the Cape Argus. Or probably any English newspaper.

Apparently the following:

 

"The cockpit components are the bits that bring the groupset, frame and wheels together to form a bike. These components are easy to change to fine tune your comfort or bring some extra bling to your ride."

 

Or is it just the cut-out on some saddles.?
