    I think if I had actually known what stirrups were I might have understood. Unfortunately some quick googling now, I think I was confusing stirrups with bridle & reins.

    Personally I’ve always pronounced SPD “speed”. I assumed that was the name they intended with the acronym, but honestly have no real idea.

      Well, Shimano being Japanese might never have imagined how people in other countries would try to say it, lol

      Also, it wouldn’t be unusual for my brother to call them something stupid on purpose :-P
