talon de bourrelet : Le terme «talon», normalisé par l'ISO, est l'équivalent français de «bead» le plus usité. Certains auteurs parlent toutefois du «bourrelet», ce qui leur permet notamment de rendre «bead heel» par «talon de bourrelet». La forme «talon de talon» ne semble pas être employée. 6, record 2, French, - talon%20de%20bourrelet
