If you go to www.marinbikes.com (US site) and watch the video about the company (which is pretty entertaining also) you can hear it straight from the horse's mouth, as it were...
I was in San Francisco about 10 years ago and the pronunciation I heard was like saying Marine but with a U instead of the A as in murine
Just wish I had been into MTBs then we had a weeks shore leave while the boat was in dry dock and all I did was drink shag and sleep what a waste
The original deore had a stags head as a logo so I always assumed it was a japanese attempt to spell Deer so thats how I say it and no ones ever pulled me up about it
Just like the old Colt Starion sports car was an attempt to spell stallion
Fig rolls: proof that god loves cyclists and that she wants us to do another lap
And then there was some French guys we was talking too in a parking lot (while coincidentally listening to a French band called "Parking") who said they liked the british band Damn Ned.....

Well I think this sort of crowd would use the term bi-cycling. :P
Well, it's definately an Eastern European spelling, so that's how I'd have assumed it was pronounced.
I've always said De-orr, but having said that, it looks unmistakeably Italian, so should be De-ORR-ay.
LOL!

Should have made it clearer - he was looking for Mavic wheels! Took me a few moments to work out what he wanted.

well, it's Japanese (for 'deer') rather than Italian, but I'm not 100% sure about the correct pronounciation.

So you mean

No - that's what I mean. Mavic is clearly Eastern European and should therefore be pronounced "Ma-vich"...
