"The Dancing Chain", by Frank J. Berto

Quoted message said:

"The Dancing Chain" is the story of the modern bicycle and the gadget
that makes it tick: the derailleur.

Don't try telling that to the trackies.

Right, the gadget that makes it "tick" is the freewheel, not the
"derailleur," unless the derailer is misadjusted.

I followed the link on that ^^^^^ page to the derailer adjustment page,
where you need to update the proper spelling of the French word, when
you get a chance.

I've fixed it, thanks.

While spelling/typo corrections to _postings_ are the lowest form of
usnet "noise", corrections to _Web_ pages (at least to _my_ Web pages)
are always most welcome.

However, it is better to send these corrections in the form of a private
email, rather than crossposting on three Usenet groups in hope that I'll
see it.
