Growing up I never learned the names of every bike part. Seven years ago the bug bit me good the end result is that I picked up as much as I can. Sadly it is all in English. Coming home I found it a little frustrating to deal with the local sellers.
These are a few that I have encountered:
Headset
Standard size - Meaning sizing from the early nineties and prior.
Oversize - 1 1/8 in. or the current International Standard sized headset.
Integrated - pertains to all internal headsets. Sadly those I've talked with were unfamiliar with Zero Stack, Integrated, Semi-Integrated. This frustrates me the most because I'm in search of a replacement headset.
Stem - Handlepost
S.I.S. - those ramps/ bumps on the sides of your chain rings that aids in shifting your chain.
Sprocket - either the chainring or the freewheel/ cassette gears
Can you name a few terms used locally but you've not see or read from International forums?
