Things which were made of cheese. The nightmare recalled.

Onza H2O brakes…think they came pre cracked from the factory.
Anything made by TNT
Seem to remember having a bad time with any variant of Tioga surefoot pedal
Tioga Prestige II bars.. they rust if you even look at them the wrong way.

Mavic 230 tib rims wore down at the very thought of braking. Light though iirc

Dairylea Triangles - just plain nasty!
The description is bad enough - a thick, spreadable soft cheese flavoured paste
I literally still have nightmares about them

+1 for the use seat post. Very light but a raft of issues. Had to trim down a 4mm Allen key to install it, the shim stuck in my frame and the clamps bent.

And original dia compe aheadset, impossible to tighten.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I really can't say it was made of cheese but today my 2000 P7 started making funny noises. Broken at the right rear dropout to stay interface. Mega sob! My daily ride, kaput! Or is it.....hello Mercian....?? £££...

Thanks. I've just put some of those rims on my current build
