• Un amigo chileno me ha preguntado cual tipo de bici debería comprar. Me cuesta hablar sobre asuntos así cuando se necesita vocabulario específico. Entonces, como se dice las partes de la bicicleta? (Please feel free to correct any of that or anything else I write)

    Tyre - is it ‘rueda’ as I think that is wheel? Internet say neumático but i reckon that’s just for cars. Can also see llanta but never heard that before. I’ve heard goma, but I don’t think that’s universal.

    Inner tube?

    ‘I got a puncture’ - me pinchas??

    Etc so forth... maybe we should critique bikes in here in Spanish. Spanish ones. Zeus. Orbea etc

    Ramblings over.

  • I’ve heard goma

    I think that's rubber/eraser so could be both if rubber is generic term for tyre

  • A friend has a question about what type of bicycle to buy.. speak when he needs specific vocabulary. Literally nothing except "bicycle" in that sentence.

    "Rueda" is also a region i think which is triple confusing.
