Rims vs Wheels

[TheoG]

I'm getting increasingly irritated with "WHEEL" adds that are placed under "RIMS" and vice versa (to a lesser extend):

1. A wheel without a tyre is still a "COMPLETE WHEEL" !!!!  (a lot adds like this)
2. A rim without a hub & spokes is a "RIM" not a wheel  (a few adds like this)  

If it contain a rim, hub & spokes its a WHEEL, if its only a rim (no hub and spokes) its a RIM.  How difficult is that to comprehend?

Anyone reading this and you need to place a rim or wheel add in future, PLEASE get it right .... 🙈🤪☺️

@Matt is there anything you guys can do to force guys to post adds in the correct category?  In the past I did sent PM's requesting to fix, put I'm just over it, there are way too many for wheels & rims, in fact, I think the majority of RIM adds are actually complete wheels !!!

Let it go.

THAT is the solution. A deep breath, laugh at the incompetence of others and accept that some people are not as bike savvy/technical/particular as you are.

It's a bit like someone frantically changing lanes in the traffic. It is vaguely annoying but ultimately doesn't affect you at all, unless you let it.

But then what is a hoop

A hoop is a k@k word for a rim 😂

I was going to add that if a miscategorized classified item is my biggest issue, I would count myself as winning at life.

I just ignore and go about my business but like anything in life this placement of ads in the wrong section, can be technologically solved.

The fight to use the right terminology is an endless battle.

- Seat/Saddle is attached to a seat post;
- one cog and many cogs make up a cassette/cluster;
- a jockey wheel on a derailleur/jockey.

The people you are angry at are not reading the forums, I'm afraid.

I get it, its not going to help to bitch about it.  Its just frustrating to search for something specific, you need to look all over and not only in the "correct" place ....

My shock is playing up... or is it my fork?

So riming and a wheelie are not the same thing?

Do you get cranky if people use 'Deep Dish' to describe their rims/wheels/hoops ?

But how does a type of pizza describe rim ?

( I know that they mean deep section, but...)
