The more unlikely term is "chainwheel". I'd say that's pretty
rare in BrE, foreign-sounding even. It's usually "chainring" for the cogs at the front "chainwheel" is used by the British company Brompton Bicycle Ltd. It is used to refer to the whole "wheel" to which the pedals are attached. The "chainring" is the replaceable outer part of the assembly. I've only ever known "chainwheel" as the word for that, too. All standard books on bicycles use it (like Richard's Bicycle Book, written by an American but first published in the UK, where he lived). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- e m a i l : j a c k @ c a m p i n . m e . u k Jack Campin, 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU, Scotland mobile 07895 860 060 http://www.campin.me.uk Twitter: JackCampin |
