New here. There appear to be many widely used Acronyms and other bike lingo type terms in the forums.
I feel a bit lost sometimes. And then there are makes/types of bikes that have acronymical names..
It would be good to have a glossary here somewhere.. ( a sticky post in this forum? )
Of course, let me know if this already exists..
Here are some I've found with some guesses: (are these right?)
- LBS : Local Bike Shop ?
- OP : original post... got that one.
- "+1" ?
- "get aero" - get aerobic?
- Brifters ?
- "cross levers" - I think I can guess, but not sure of the latest designs.
- MTB - mountain bike?
others I can't remember.
Thanks to any who can contribute.
