No apologies, again. You have the guts to ask, and that's not stupid at all.
You may not have done the limit stop properly.
"Chainring" is the name for the cogs/sprockets at the front. Not stupid. I in fact mistakenly called them "chain wheels" in my post. There are many bike-exclusive names that I am still picking up as I go. For instance, I had never heard of a "bottom bracket" on the bikes I used to ride. I thought it must be the saddlle! <G>
Google for "bicycle anatomy" etc, and see what you find. It helps a lot, when people start telling you stuff.
