Derailleur or derailer??

[IDB1]

After a trip into the mind of Sheldon Brown, this question has arisen..

I know what Sheldon thinks... but what about the RB fraternity?

I think it's about time we moved on from having everything exposed to the dirt and more effort was put into internal and gearbox systems .

This is just nomenclature dude. . . gimme a chance, I've only just found out a nominal amount of what the outside gears do

I just call them mechs.............avoids unecessary conflict and violence.

 

[FluffyChicken]

mechanism or it's much used abbreviation mech. . Though Shimano use that long faffy name with faux-french undertones

 

[IDB1]

So.. given a choice of 2 possible answers, option 3 is preferred...

2 'L's or mech for short

That was my opinion until browsing Sheldon Brown earlier
