Things you've heard people call parts or equipment

Wat's goeters???

  

I only learned about the term today in this thread, but I think it's these kind of brake + shift levers.

 

Nope...yes those are technically but if you have a road bike...chances are you have ‘brifters’ on it lol

[splat]

Oh another pet peeve of mine is Brifters.

When I was around 8 years old, I learned about jockeys and clusters. 

I never thought much of it as everyone on my area would refer to these parts. Years later I learned about derailleurs and cassettes.

 

Jewbacca is right about bike snobbery. 

 

Some people learn what they told. At the end of the day the front wheels of all cars have shocks!

Enjoy riding your bike, be sure to drive with care.

Well picked up 

People who cannot spell must def steer clear of this thread..

The part that connects to the magafters

[Roguemeister]

Clips / cleats.

 

It is a clipless pedal.

Another one I don't get, how is it a clip less pedal, when you clip your shoe into it

This is the original "toe clip" pedals we used many moons ago, to fix our feet to the pedals.

 

Now you can fix your feet to the pedals without using toe clips, thus "clip less" ...

And yet we still use a pedal that has a clip..... [emoji23] But call it a clip less pedal

Nah, just call them all cleats...

...the shoes, the pedals, the actual cleats. All of it, cleats. Haha

 

Ps: i sometimes refer to my spd pedals as ‘Spuds’ after seeing a gmbn episode where they called a clipless bunnyhop a ‘spudhop’ lol

Nothing to do with bikes - by why does she call the TV remote a "machine"???????

 

"Pass me the machine please....."

[patches]

Front fork...... 

 

As opposed to what exactly? The rear fork? 

 

What? You've never seen a rear fork?

So when LOOK launched the PP65 in 1985 they termed their new innovation Pedales Automatique or automatic pedals.

It was the American commentators for CNBC Sports that coined the term "clipless pedals" even though the LOOK brochures very clearly referred to the PP65 as an automatic pedal adapted from a 22yr old LOOK Ski binding design.

Shimano Altegra

 

 

when you mix Altus with Ultegra..

aaaaah those were the days of near misses. They so nearly got that bike right. Just needed to raise the main pivot an inch
