You're saying it Wrong! The most mangled bicycle lingo clarified

Here is some bicycle terminology that is often confused, conflated, or straight up mangled. This is all in good fun, as I probably make more mistakes than the average YouTuber. It's also worth nothing that I don't care what you call anything and rarely correct anyone... except when they call a damper a dampener. That's yucky. I know some people might disagree on the sprocket one, because as I mentioned there are subcategories that will, in fact, refer to the gear up front as such, but to my knowledge, bike companies, engineers, and mechanics in MOUNTAIN BIKING distinguish chainrings from sprockets as outlined in the video. There are also parts of the world where it's very common for people to call their fork, their "forks". This would be, at best, regional slang. But you don't throw hay with your pitchforks, and you don't tune a piano with you tuning forks. You don't eat with your forks. It's a fork. There are also terms that are perfectly fine to say either way, like handlebar vs handlebars. "Deraill-e-ur" vs "derailer" to refer to a derailleur is also contentious yet acceptable either way. Keep in mind, the only people who never make mistakes are those who grew up around parents and communities of hardcore cyclists who taught them the terms from day one. The rest of us had to learn the hard way.
