Follow car terminology and be done with it. Also follows marking of all bike shifters.
Full range achieved, going from fastest to slowest works (downshift), but going from slowest to next slowest (upshift) fails. Limits are good, B-tension screw didn't help

Yes, Sheldon he has separate American and British English versions of pages!!!
For example, Kross bicycle (2017) had a Schwalbe tyre with markings:When inflated, the tires were about 3.5cm wide as measured with a ruler.
42-622 (28 x 1.60, 700x40C)
And the Mavic A319 rim had markings:
622x19C
In this:
- ISO (Etrto): 42-622. So:

- 622 is the bead seat diameter. The actual inflated tire is going to be even wider.
- imperial: 28 x 1.60
- French: 700x40C:
