A synonym for something with an idiomatic name, which shouldn't save it from being SOP in itself Lesscot, J (talk) 13:05, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

- It's a synonym, right? I didn't know the term coaster brake, so I would keep it. I seem to remember calling it a back pedal brake. DonnanZ (talk) 07:42, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
- Keep don't think this is obvious from the parts. Also, we don't have a noun back pedal, so this would be back + pedal + brake. – Jberkel 13:27, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
- There is the verb backpedal or back-pedal, though. My Oxford includes for back-pedal: move the pedals of a bicycle backwards (formerly to brake). DonnanZ (talk) 23:27, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
- Shouldn’t this be spelled backpedal brake? The latter is a red link under the derived terms of backpedal and at the definition of Dutch terugtraprem. I doubt think someone unfamiliar with the concept would guess the meaning of the compound from those of its components. --Lambiam 20:56, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
- Keep, I am not into the technical details but people should bike more and I feel like some dyel nincompoop would move to delete terms for exercise equipment I added because he does not see the point when I did see the idiomaticity. Fay Freak (talk) 12:14, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
