cantilever brakes

I don't care how light your hybrid is. You are still a penis.

the shit components on cheap bikes

balance adjuster screws on v brakes that srcrew into a plastic housing, so as the screw goes in it just distorts the housing and does not change the tension in the brake spring

the sit plastic brake levers installed on kids bikes, the other day i found one that looked like it had been bent in a crash, but it only took one finger to straighten the lever again. so the lever actually bends if you apply any force to the brakes

the shit gears on kids bikes, that when brand new can not be changed by a fully grown adult, so a young child can not use them at all - my favourite is the fake that tries to imitate Shimano SIS, by calling itself PIS.

This so much.

Got the nippa a 3 speed nexus bike. Easy to work. The brakes took fecking ages to get set-up though.

Those shite suspension forks you get on BSOs.

Fuck off. You make cycling miserable.

Faux sus bikes, every component will be terrible, they are prone to rust and even the smallest children's bikes weight a ton.

Splash bar tape is lush.

It proves that you are a crazy type, in the same way as wearing a comedy simpsons tie does.

(have a stock pile of that zebra stuff)
