can't remember the name of it but one of those spring things you hung off the rear dropout to put more tension on the rear mech

Girvin flex stems

Oh hells yes. Doesn't really do anything, until the elastomer gets slack, which happens pretty much instantly. Then, still doesn't do anything useful, but does helpfully disconnect the bars from the bike. Oh and all capped off with some nice sharp edges on the back with which to bifurcate your nuts.

I actually quite liked my Girvin Flex stem.

My Hite Rite on the other hand was useless because I was(and still am)too light to compress it.

erm. maybe non-black chilli conti tyres
pumps that use the cam locking lever arrangement. why not just screw on ala zefal/leyzyne?
'power buldge' rockshox lowers. Once you wear the lower bushes, you have to get new lowers

Quite a lot up there Im questioning
shimano external BB for one, aside from Stainless steel/ceramic vwhat BB standard do you prefer? (square taper for me is flexy and is too easy to round out the squares)
