French term

patte

Non-PRO French to English Tech/Engineering Sports / Fitness / Recreation part of bike disc brake
I'm sure this is simple, but I'm not sure what the best option is in a cycling context. Foot, leg, or is it simply a bracket? Or could it be the calliper? This is about a guy equipping a triplet cycle for a tough road trip 20 years ago. He's fitted rim brakes and disc brakes (rare combination at the time).

Au début des années 2000, les freins à disque n'étaient pas disponibles sur les fourches rigides. Le vélociste a opté pour une fourche suspendue Marzocchi, upgradée afin d'assurer la rigidité latérale. L'une des difficultés a été de souder la patte du frein à disque arrière sur le cadre.

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

PRO (2): philgoddard, Beatriz Ramírez de Haro

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

@Phil Thanks - bracket was one of the things I was considering but without an image, it was hard to be sure.
philgoddard Oct 15, 2020:
Bracket? There's a picture here: http://www.ebay.fr/itm/patte-de-frein-velo-lam-tambourin-/16... There's also a "patte de dérailleur" at the bottom of the page.

French term (edited): patte de frein

brake pad

or brake shoe or brake block sometimes but it's all the same

Peer comment(s):
disagree Tony M : Cannot be this, as the context specifically says 'welding it to the rear frame' — clearly, a brake pad of any kind can't be welded to anything!

It is indeed a bit of a mystery how he put together this makeshift system
neutral philgoddard : I agree with Tony, but it might mean "shoe". However, your reference is to "patin", not "patte".
