everything should just have 10 digit alphanumeric part numbers and no common name.
Print the part number in big bold letters across the bike part and clearcoat over it

Everything should have a latin name that everyone has to use to refer to the object, like plants or insects do.

The LD name came later. Charlie Cunningham called them gooseneck stems.

If memory serves, the LD name came about when some of the tubing used for those stems developed “ripples” after bending, giving them the appearance of, well, a limp dick.
Always been kinda surprised that the Crust/UR keeps going with all that stuff. Wizard’s Sleeve, Limp Dick, BJ, I dunno I don’t find it particularly funny, especially when I feel like parts of that crew would lose their shit on instagram if some mtb bro brand did the same thing.

I’m not a huge fan of all that naming but tbh I am not a huge fan of really anything Crust is doing. Mostly just from the aesthetic of it all. Feels like some sort of credit card cool.

There’s definitely no shortage of stupidity.
Waiting for the Supacaz x Crust collab.
Isn’t LD stem a term that got thrown around here until very recently? Everyone’s gotta grow up sometime.
I think in this context it was as a proper noun.

Guess who:
And yet it doesn’t work: On loose and slippery surfaces, you lose grip before you can lean far enough to engage the corner knobs. And on smooth roads, where you can lean that far, the knobs fold over and you suddenly loose traction. That’s not just our opinion, but also that of Gerard Vroomen from OPEN Cycles…
Is there 10,000,000 other words surrounding it saying nothing?
there might be but I ain’t clicking through
