I just recieved an e-mail from Garmin offereing me the following opportunity:

"Win great prizes at the Garmin MTB Days
We're offering four riders the chance to each win a weekend of riding with Steve Peat, a Commercial Super 4.1 bike worth £2,499 and your choice of a Garmin Edge or Oregon unit as part of our Garmin MTB Days."

I've always wanted a Commercial! :lol:

    How the hell do you pronounce it??? Is it common-kal, or commensal, or what else...? I gave up a while ago... Anyone here know how to say it properly? 8)

    How about commen-sarl. With the 'R' in...

    It's one of the Baltic countries who designed the bikes, right?? Meh, I have no idea. Someone could say it's 'Cactus' and I'd probably believe them... Bloody foreigners :lol::wink:

    I *think* cuh-men-sal is the correct pronunciation. just don't over-emphasize the 'n' part. make it a bit nasal. almost like 'mahn' or 'menh'

    Bleedin French :roll:

    Sometimes even if something is spelt correct it can still be said wrong....
