Where did you get this information? "Derailer" is the Sheldon Brown
word. No one else has ever used the word "derailer" to describe a
bicycle derailleur except Sheldon Brown. If you go to an English
dictionary, you will find the word derailleur listed. You will not
find the word "derailer". "Derailer" is not an English word. It is a
made up word.
