This is quite possibly the stupidest idea ever!

Suspension seat posts followed closely by dropper posts. Sorry but I just didn't buy into the whole dropper post thing maybe because the quality of the posts were pants. It seemed to take ages for them to iron out the slack and wear and tear probs, with the customers doing the bloody testing!

Considering it's their fault we're stuck with 15mm and 20mm in the first place, they get no credit for that from me.

I thought it was the wheel manufacturers that pushed Fox into doing it, as they wanted to lose weight.

Anyhow, at least they made a sensible decision now.

I'll defend 15mm having suffered with flexi 20mm forks the overall package that makes the difference. 20mm is still up there in the gravity world. It makes little or no noticeable difference to my new forks.

Most useless MTB product? Either those things above for keeping your grips dry or forums/internet.

What was that clip type thing that a forum user came up with a few years ago? It basically held the front brake on to stop the bike rolling/falling when leant against a wall.....

actually just read a thread where people debated helmet strap v old inner tube v Velcro for just this purpose when commuting on the train (helmet straps got nil pointe).....

personally I've already patented the 650B specific pump - avoids that embarrassing half pump motion at the end of inflation that you would experience if you used an old pump designed for 26"

Toptube mounted sweetie box. I need somewhere where sweets are easily accessible mid ride.
