lets set the terminology straight

[crumpton]

a "mil" is not a millimeter or a mm but rather 1 mil= .001"

abbreviation for millimeter is in fact mm.

[Too Tall]

Reading is fundamental. We hear yah.

[Curt Goodrich]

23C tires? WTF is C? It's 23mm by 700C despite what the tire company's mold on their tires.

[Jacques]

I agree with calling a mm what it is, but .001" has always been "thou" to me.

It's also 0,5mm ; never 0.5mm.

This perplexes the shit out of me. It never feels "right" to say its a 23c tire.

I just love it when folks talk about their epic rides as if the word was a unit of measure atmo.

epic is a unit of imagination yo.

or 10 tenths for those with three-phase.

It's also 0,5mm ; never 0.5mm.

oh those crazy euro commas and nummers. never an issue ,4, me. "comma" is easier to see when scratching out specs by hand. I've never been one to put a useless zero in front of the decimal point where whole numbers stop and fractions of them begin. point five is point five, or a half unit. never zeropointfive.

"front fork" raises my hackles too.

I have a pal that uses the term but I cut him some slack because he was one of those guys that learned to build in the olde country.

A steerer tube is not a head tube. Head tubes don't come in 1" spec, steerer tubes do. A personal pet peave is the "I want a bike with a 1" headtube" comment. Yes, we are smart enough to understand you, but if you're going to build a frame you should at least know some basics.

[hampco]

and it's a "cope" not a "miter"

"queue" not "cue"

Serious question, what is the difference between the two?

In Spain maybe, in Mexico it´s 0.5mm

It's also 0,5mm ; never 0.5mm.

That's a regional thing, not correct vs. incorrect.

one is a fork component, the other a frame component.

So is epic 2.0 the new epic or is the 2 epics or epica or epici? So confused.......

[David Tollefson]

Sinyard and Co. are gonna call you...

epic is a unit of imagination yo.

People used to leave home, walking, and be gone for three-fifths of their lifetimes.

That was epic.
