You know what really grinds my gears?

[fettler]

Forks fitted back to front

 

[foz]

"cockpit" and "fuselage"

 

[trailstar82]

People who neglect to keep sufficient pressure in their tyres.

Doesn’t only apply to bikes either, the amount of people driving around on “run flats”

 

[jonnyboy666]

oh i have a list:-

"i already laced it up, you just have to true it." . . . cue the lacing mistakes followed by the discovery of the incorrect spoke length.

"campy", i can live with campag

"brifters"

"it'll only take you 5 mins" . . . looks at bike that was dragged out of a canal.

"i don't race or anything" . . . yeah i know, your huge wasteline combined with a rusty knackered bike gave it away.


i'm sure there are more.

 

[Frankenorange]

Breaks.

 

[ishaw]

Apollo and other bso's. Way to suck any enjoyment out of bike ownership. I genuinely think they shouldn't be allowed to call them bikes.

derailleurs grind my gears

buttery smooth IGH action

 

[BerthaPog]

Sand, oil & water.


People who say:
“How do you ride that old thing?”, having just watched me ride it
”Can’t you afford a car?”
“Get off the road”

Maybe it’s actually people.

 

[fettler]

People who say:
“How do you ride that old thing?”, having just watched me ride it

"Do you know you can get a disc brake conversion for that?"

I think you'll find the accepted term is 'sex workers' ..

I thought a hoe was a tool you used in the garden?
