While this is a little off course, I figured this crowd might get a chuckle.

This summer I visited a local shop that's pretty big. They have an annex where they sell the old, used, and overstocked. I was trying to buy an nos Mavic disc wheel hub they had but with no price marked. Big fun ensued as the clerk tried to describe it to the folks in the main store. Finally an older guy came in and said "oh a disc hub" clerk - "but where do the spokes go?"

Are there any other terms that have been recycled besides barends and disc wheels?
