There are a few things in the biking world that I pronounce one way and others pronounce another…what is the right way?
1. Tioga. Either: Tie-o-ga, Tee-o-ga?
2. Magura Gustav : Goo-stav, Gus-tav?
2 Basagoitia: Ba-sa-go-shia, Ba-sa-go-e-sha, Ba-sa-go-tee-a, Ba-sa-go-e-tee-a?
Does anybody else have some they dont know how to pronounce?
Giro.

Pronouncement: A formal declaration of opinion; an authoritative announcement
Pronunciation: The manner of pronouncing something; also, the word ShoreIH is looking for
Now about this pronunciation thing:
Marzocchi (ends with "-ki"; same for Petacchi)
Sram (I've always heard "shram")
Tioga ("Tee-oh-ga")
Gustav (pronounce just like the name, "goos-tav" or "goo-stav")
Tange (actual pronunciation is "tun-ghe"; have no idea how it was commonly pronounced in North America)

Which ones? I'll take a stab at them.

Geez, Gooch, you're gonna complicate things? We're taking baby steps here, like trying to figure out the difference between pronouncement and pronunciation.

Fromme. Is it fr-oh-m or fr-om?
that is a very good question!
and DD, fromme is east of Mosquito creek, silly :P
that is a very good question!
You mean "frum" or "frawm"? I've only heard the latter.
I believe Fromme is originally a German name whose native pronunication is close to "frum-meh". Perhaps a German speaker can confirm.
