I’ll start with a small one:
Crank Brothers Speed Lever
Stupid design for cyclists with no hand strength. Normal levers are just fine.
XTR cranks…WANK VALUE
$300 Chris king head set…no better then my $70 FSA
gran comp ss tires. 23c? No.
brooks saddle.
my butt hurts still…
Looks like a good way to pick your items.
My dud was CST (stripy ones), wasn’t even meant to get them. 23c, they can’t evenly skid for shit
Concor with a broken rail… [Turns out its not easy to get replacement rails]
Filler-primer, undercoat, paint, clear. [Powdercoat is cheaper, and harder wearing. If you MUST have paint, get it done professionally.]
Rubber rim ‘tape’ [veloplugs are the shiznit, cloth is ok]
+1. look nice but pinch flats are guaranteed unless you’re sub-50kg. also, there’s fuck all rubber on them.
Oh, Velocity B43 rubbish rim
One mans rubbish…
Aerospoke.
gears …
dohhhhhhhhh. i have one of these on the front for the new build. only tyre that would fit… 
you should be ok with one on the front I guess (although I havent had much experience with them), as you shouldnt really have any pinch flat problems with your front wheel, plus rubber amount shouldnt be a major issue
ah ok. awesome. still probably best i avoid potholes though hey!!
cheers
SRAM Rival not all that it’s cracked up to be?
fixed for you
SRAM rival is ok, but i like my whip to have tyght geo
My NJS kickstand…
Someone please post the shot of Mick Rogers in the TOC with ‘hella tyte’ over it.
original is a bit big, so its smaller
