Shimano called them "rear fork ends" in their dealer parts catalogue, and I could find no argument, particularly when "track drop outs" describes a part wherein the wheel does not drop out when unfastened from the frame. Whose nomenclature is really the foolish one?
Maybe front fork is often overly specific, but perhaps not strictly redundant.
They're track ends

Why do people feel the need to list all of their bikes in their signature?
in some forms of engineering trailing zeroes are also defined for upper and lower limit class
Yep, trailing zeros show the number hasn't been rounded up or down. Useful for expressing greater accuracy especially where fit and tolerance of mating parts are concerned such as +0.05/-0.00. This is also significant since there are a lot of roundings going on in the bike industry when converting historic inch dimensions into metric.
The inch was changed so that there would be a convenient metric conversion value for 1 inch = 25.40mm.
Only place I ever heard that was the shipyards.
Seems like the chassis/cage builders use that too.
But yeah, lots of terms. I've heard 'notching' used as well
Let's cut to the chase - what is a framebuilder? Is it someone who can build, or does build, a
frame? Or does one become a framebuilder after reaching a number or experience level atmo?
I would go for answer b)
Same way as you're not a bike mechanic by fixing a bike.
By the way... not all customers are customers (oh boy, that's a public suicide? :o )
And a fitter... what the hell is that?
Also, oversize is no longer oversize, there're so many oversizing sizes that the "over" differencial is lost in translation
But over all, without any doubts, there's the word, the measure, the iconic concept, the mother of all truths...
