  1. Campag Veloce, is it ve-loss, or velo-chay (to rhyme with stay)?

    The Garmont Telemark boot of the same name is generally rendered "Vellotch-ay", or thereabouts. So
    the Velo part is veloh, rather than veloe.

    Caveat: I'm not exactly a great linguist (as I am reminded whenever I mention ski-pole airport to my
    Dutch lady friend...)

    I rarely say that word, if I did though I'd pronounce it veloss as in dead loss and velocity

    Nope. Stress is on the second syllable, which is (almost) english "or". Your spelling looks to me
    like putting far too much on the third syllable.

    Which is how I've said it up to now, it seems we're wrong 🙂

    Thanks all.

    My box set of SUSE Linux arrived yesterday, so soon I'll have to convert my bikes to Campag stuff.

    There is/was a theory that Shimano users used Microsoft software and Campag users used Linux.

    As it happens I have 2 Redhat boxes at home, 2 Shimano equiped bikes (though one has a Campag seat
    pin and used to have Campag pedals until they go so badly corroded I dumped them, they were cheap)
    and 2 windows boxes. Plus a bike with Shimano, Sugino, Weinman. I'd love a Mac OS X box too.

    do linux users have to ride trikes because of their beards or is it just that trike riders have to
    use linux for the same reason? Or am I mixing up beards with tweed or sandals or something?
