Things I have an irrational/unfounded dislike of...

[Hilts]

Coloured tyres ... my absolute number 1 hate.. All tyres should be Black (with Amber wall preferably)

Waits to get roasted !!!

(Note - I know I had them on my Explosif for a while but that proves i did atleast try to like them...)

Totaly agree with the coloured tyre thing (they suck),

This may be off the vibe of the tread but as a machanic don't even get me started on mystery creaks & groans :?

 

[cherrybomb]

don't even get me started on mystery creaks & groans :?

They don't usually bother me, I can't here them over my puffing and panting (and general heavy breathing).
......and that's before I get on a bike!

Rant:
Full suspension
Mismatched ano
People who put apostrophes at the end of words to denote plurality (GT's, Klein's, Moron's)
Bad pictures of bikes (hint: if the flash goes off, its going to suck).
Bar ends on riser bars
T-discs on E-stays and Trimbles
Rapid rise
Wind
BOTM voting sometimes

Thanks

You can add to that people who correct other's spelling mistooks

Right. Fixed

 

[TheGreenRabbit]

Garage queens that don't get ridden.

People who ride round a track, and call it mountain biking.

Non cyclists, (most are nice enough people, but they just have no idea and don't want to)

Hmmmmm

Elevated chain stays.....................It's just WRONG.
GTs.............The triple triangle nonsense.
Cannondale head shock and lefty forks......It's just not right.

:?

I'll fight you on this one. The Lefty is stupid, agreed. But the headshock is a great system. I've ridden them, and I've found the oversize fork legs allow the same rigidity and tracking characteristics found with, well, a rigid fork. Plus the added benefit of a suspension system. Bonus for hiding in the otherwise useless massive headtube.

IMO one of the perfect race hardtail designs.

The key being 'your' opinion :shock: Not 'mine'

Head shock still very much on the list :twisted:
