Sheldon Brown and John Allen would probably agree! Here's what they had to say about the pronunciation of another (originally) French bicycle-related term: DERAILLEUR.

In airplanes, the Wrights spent the first ten years of aviation suing anyone who dared to make an airplane, which is why we use words like fuselage and aileron. How, given the C&V bike boom obsession with Italian racing bikes, did we wind up with so many French words in cycling?
