Etrier - qu'est que c'est en Francais?

Discussion in 'UK Motorcycles' started by Steve Uzochukwu, May 13, 2005.

  1. Please help.

    In my ignorance I think etrier means caliper. It's in a shite old car
    context - if both etrier are replaced will I have new calipers?

    Also means "stirrup".

    How many horsepower are we talking here?

    Same in english. Named because of the shape, I suspect. Looks like a
    stirrup, you see.

  9. Cut the guy some slack. A correct and useful answer.

    I suppose we are now returning to the usual sniping?
