The Israeli/Palestinian conflict.

On the SS, I actually do care about freehub engagement. Go figure 😉

+1 on freehub engagement

- what cars people are driving to trail centres
- what bikes people are riding at trail centres (or elsewhere)
- Suspension tuning
- 'plus' sized bikes

DH racing,
I'll have an idle watch if it's right in front of me or if there was a local race I was able to ride a bike to and stand and watch for nowt, but I have no desire to do it myself and I'm kinda cynical about the 'no skinsuit' rule and that you can break a chain at the top of the race, get to the bottom and still be on a podium ? I don't doubt the skills of the competitors but...

[flamesuit on]

you can break a chain at the top of the race, get to the bottom and still be on a podium

Now that does interest me and is worthy of a thread 🙂

Work.

But mainly work.

Bike related:

-Marketing machine led brands. 5 teams in the TdF or 7 consecutive TdF wins does not mean your bikes are the best, it just means you paid the most money for those athletes to be on your bikes.
-People moaning about the lack of good LBS' but they buy everything online. Not saying you should support crap ones, but there are plenty of good ones out there so wander in, strike up a conversation with the guys in there, you might be pleasantly surprised! (FWIW know of 5 shops within a 20 mile radius of myself all in various stages of closing down for one reason or another right now)
-Strava evangelists. Everything's not a race (unless it is a race), Strava is supposed to be a bit of fun so don't let it ruin a ride.
-Strava haters. It's supposed to be a bit of fun, don't spend the whole ride going on about how you're "keeping it real" cos you came off Strava (probably cos you lost your one KOM) and everyone who uses it is a sheep.
-Funny shaped handlebars. Have tried them on other peoples bikes with an open mind. Felt no benefits whatsoever, in fact discovered many drawbacks. Almost certainly an attention seeking thing.
-Fat Bikes + Plus sized tyres. Happy to accept that they work well for some people on their trails for their riding, but they're not for me.
-Go Pro's. Like it or not, everything looks flat/boring when you view the video back on your computer, and non MTBers will just laugh at you.

Running lower pressures in my roadie tyres to get better rolling over long steady distance

Meh

Immigration, Immigrants, Migrants and Refugees, I used to care, deeply - but the right wing, daily fail, full of opinion but light on facts, thickos dragged me into arguing with their foolishness and the best I can muster now is apathy.

Russell Brand or any of his self-serving, egotistical ranting - same goes for you Tim Minchin, you utter socket.

Christmas.

American Guns Culture, if you can't learn for yourselves, the rest of the world isn't going to convince you.

Australian Economic Problems - get over yourselves, you've rode the wave of a boom for decades and it's come to a gentle stop, that's not a problem, it's a bloody miracle. And you Canada.

BuzzFeed, you're the left-wing version of the Daily Fail, offended by everything and not to concerned about facts or balanced reporting.

Perez Hilton.

Craft Beer evangelists - stop being a ****ing cliché.

Tea and Coffee, it's horrible, stop looking at me like I'm the anti-Christ when I politely turn down your offer to spend 15 mins doing a domestic science experiment to create something either boring (tea) or tastes like burnt arseholes (coffee).

What cars people choose to drive to trail centres.

As much as I try... oh wait...

No... I just couldn't care less.

The opinions (and increasingly the company) of people who are idiots*.

*This tends to cover most people particularly those who read tabloid press, watch soaps or celeb reality TV. Those who are rude, selfish, religious, racist (closet or not) or those who ride a 29er.

Phew.

Celebs.
Retail Parks.
Football (most sport.)

Lad culture.
Cheap tat.
Facebook.

Bad things that happen to friends of people i don't know. In the same way that i wouldn't expect people who don't know me to give a toss about what happens to me.

Most of the shite clogging up our Sky box.

I'm getting older and feeling older by the day, this list could be extensive.. I'll keep it High Level then 😆

[b]Cars other people drive/own[/b], this gets a "like Whatev's" from me. 🙄
[b]Houses other people live in/own/rent/squat[/b], this gets a "Annnnndddd??" from me 🙄
[b]Children other people have/want to have/shouldn't have had[/b], this annoys me quite a lot.. I'm really actually not bothered at ALL what your kids are like nor what they are into/upto and certainly not bothered about all the problems you are having with them 🙄
[b]TV Soap Operas[/b], whilst I'm happy for them to be on TV for the only reason it keeps the less interesting of our society occupied. 😛
[b]Kids TV[/b], well let me qualify that, angsty/moronish/fighty/quasi Transformers crap. Bring back Disney - forget the rest. 🙄
[b]Security Guards[/b], specifically those who pretend to have more power than they actually have 🙄
[b]Wheel sizes on bikes[/b], I sooooooooooo don't GAS about this.
[b]Helmets on bikes[/b], where them, don't wear them.. my choice/your choice. Go stick your finger up your nose for all I care about your POV. 🙄
[b]Ignorant people[/b], there are a lot in our society today, not sure if this is a generalisation or whether this has always been in our society.. But ignorance really cheeses me off. 👿
[b]People who don't listen[/b], or talk over the top of me/you who have been asked a question and are unable to explain due to someone interjecting or overriding right over the top of someone whose endeavoring to explain something.

There are quite a lot more, but clearly I'm clogging the internet up ATM.

(FWIW know of 5 shops within a 20 mile radius of myself all in various stages of closing down for one reason or another right now)

I know of two that have opened & will be opening a lot less than 20 miles from your shop though, competition is good for us punters

People who don't listen,

What about people who don't read the OP?

I'm sure it said bike-related.

Government warnings.
Their promotion of the simple life.
The dams they are building.

Faddy wheel sizes

America. All of it. Especially repeated shootings and lack of willingness to agress teh obvious culture challenges

Its the little things that bug me.

Any thread that has a forced IST in it e.g. Rugbyist, Wooderist etc etc -
JUST STOP DOING IT. YOU'RE NOT FUNNY AND YOU'RE NOT CLEVER.

what the weatherman says, when the weatherman says it's raining.

DH racing,

I kind of agree that it's not as good as it *should* be to watch, however I watched Red Bull Hardline and it was well worth the watch. Even my wife loved watching it. I imagine having only 8 competitors helped.

Edit- and in keeping with the OP, I don't really care about

NEW!!! air sprung DH bikes
LES (lightweight, expensive, unreliable) kit in general

Increasingly this forum and it's boring, meaningless subject matter constantly under the heading 'have we done (insert dull unimportant trivial issue) yet', like a bunch of washer women Nora Battys.

There used to be a good sprinkling of gems in and amongst the turd. Now it's like browsing on Soundcloud for a good tune.

This and anyone called Jeremy

Not interested in lots of things but my top ones are:

Work.

Wendy doesn't really care about anything baby!

what rascalist said

People that don't read the original posters question properly then proceed to answer a series of completely different questions.

Any bike related apathy?

People who post long winded answers to threads about suspension/bike handling/geometry that can't ride for shit.
You're just bimbling around in some woods it makes no difference.

Except shinty, but that's a blood sport.

I don't care one bit about people not reading thread titles before posting (though they are a load of onanists) 🙂

I care a lot

It's a dirty job, but someones gotta do it.

Riding bikes (sadly).

far too many things to list

I care a lot

It's a dirty job, but someones gotta do it.

especially about disasters, fires, floods, and killer bees. 😀

Road bikes
Rampage
Celebrities
Musicals

I had a long list, but then I saw that picture of Wendy James on page 2, and I've forgotten why I'm here.

Black history day.
Crash helmets.
Refugees.
Football transfer fees.

Road bikes and all the other bikes that i see on here that are like road bikes but a teenie, tiny bit different. Oh look a road bike with tyres that have some grip. Oh look a road bike that has mudguards. Oh looks a road bike with different bars...

If people could maybe label their threads that contain these types of bikes with a [not for euro] in the title i'd be very grateful.

reading all the posts before this bit......
