one piece cranks. two piece cranks. profile bmx cranks. ‘usa’ bottom brackets.
that bent sheet metal and bolt seat guts thing.
pegs that came with my first BMX. fucking like three inch diameter
oh and my varsity
This!!!
anything that zelah touches
Ha, that light we ordered sucks, but i still have mine, and somehow got the mount to work. havent used it that much, at all. pain to put on and off
Dia-compe bulldog brakes. Had them on my dyno zone and couldnt stop for shit.
a lockring
The Tarckcap.
j/k, I would never buy that shit.
Sora Brifters. Not that I’m really fond of brifters in general.
Those goddamn skewers that use a hex key instead of a QR.
I bought a pair of Ritchey bullhorns with a huge drop back when I didn’t know shit about bikes. Those sucked.
Kenda Kross Plus tires.
In fact, any Kenda tire ever. I haven’t ever been impressed by them.
Performance Century shorts.
I’ll add to this list later. I hate a lot of stuff.
aluminum chainring bolts
Soma everwears
specialized toe clips.
Why do you say this? I was thinking about getting those because I want to use a QR front wheel on my lockup bike and I prefer to lock the rear wheel and my rear wheel already uses hex bolts.
I forgot to add this one earlier- Park crank puller. some of the threads on that part that screws into the crank have broken off just from banging around in my tool box. Honestly I’m not very impressed with the quality of the park tools that I have.
Any brake pad that’s not a Kool Stop Salmon.
This.
shimano brake pads are garbage
Alum handlebars
Aluminum handlebars? Seriously? What are your bars made out of?
wood

i’ve been told that while they are great for stopping they are “too aggressive” and wear rims out really quickly, and should not be used on vintage rims. anyone care to comment on this scurrilous rumour? i’ve never used them and was thinking about getting a set.
