one of the things I appreciate about bikes is that there is an enormous, bike-specific vocabulary in English.
y'all might think that's a pretty strange thing to appreciate, but coming from kendo, where there's an enormous kendo-specific vocabulary in Japanese but nothing in English, I really notice it.
so here is a random collection of my favourites so far:
crown race
ferrule
straddle wire/straddle cable
trail*
cluster
spindle
fillet
guidonnet
stay
skiptooth
fork end
cotterless
chainline
bolt circle diameter
*in relation to frame geometry
