Ever Bought Something For You Bike And Found It Shit?

Well its not the brakes fault hes had a bad experience its normally the riders fault 99% of the time due to not maintaining it properly or not setting it up properly

and as you said everyone has a different opinion and mine is that they are the nuts and i rekon that a lot of other peoples opinions are as well....

Also btw i didnt mean for that question at the end to be soo patronising (davey) i meant for it to be asking his what his problem is with BB7s, :mellow: probably a bit vague with the question

I agree :P

Ahh ok i thought you where trying to start something.

I acctually prefer bb5's there better in my eyes and almost as easy to set up.

Ko frame: could never set the brake up with out my chain being really slack or way too tight!

Half link chain: snap happy

Neon 18t sprocket f**ked my cranks

deng lever blades, all kill my fingers

normall tpa wheels, always f**k up for me and get jammed.

ooo and a truative bb and a skf bb truative is creaking like f**k, skf just clonked all the time. happy days

Bought a maggie off here about 4 weeks back and it still hasnt arrived, thats shit :(

And the lad wont speak to me so thats even worse.

Well you didnt do the best of things to my mate did you, send him the bike, only for him to find out its been welded cracked, and threads stripped.

but stilll no goood that the matey aint sent you the brake i guess.

. Onza lime pads on a grind <_<

. Acs claw freewheels

. Rubber grips in general, far to painful

. Zoo stem (mod) good stem but far too low, makes your back hurt.

. Onza musleman crank arms, the threads die stupidly quick.

How can you say that, they're awesome!

On the note of rubbish stuff - bought some halfords brake cable, and it snapped in about 24 hours, which then made me head-butt the bars.

Good;

Chris King Classic rear hub - Worth every single penny

SKF-BFR600 - Worth every penny

Shimano Sora rear mech - Less than £10 and its lasted over a year so far (as a chain tensioner)

Magura HS33 - Just, f t w

KHE Collapse chain - Ive had 3 now and ive never had a single problem with any of them (i buy a new chain about every 6 months, or less)

Try-all rims - Been running the same pair of Try-alls for about 2 years now.

Bad;

The older Saracen frames - Snapped a Team Issue, Cracked a 2six, Still got a Team Urban but i didnt trust it so i got a new frame lol

Brisa forks (26") - Snapped :(

Magura TPA wheels - Excellent idea, terrible execution (yes i know they arnt meant to be used for constant adjustment... but plastic? who thought that was a good idea?)
