1. Schwalbe tyres. Expensive & Fragile.
2. Fizik Gobi. Horrendous arse pain.
3. Short stem, wide bars on an XC bike. Rode really well until the point where it would unpredictably and violently throw me OTB.
4. SPD's. Much prefer the feeling on flats.
5. Double and bash. Not fit enough to pull a 36t ring and missed the 44t on road. Lasted 2 rides then went on the classifieds.
No intention of going 29er...
Or 650b for that matter.
Gaggia Classic. Since ditched and reverted to instant. Kenco Millicano FTW!
The trend is over.
And gone forever?
Riding Retro bikes - the fun was in sourcing the parts and building the bike to look perfect... riding it was an unpleasant and expensive experience.
I'm much happier now I'm [s]riding[/s] breaking modern bikes 😉
Full suss. Overrated, expensive, breakable, limited benefits, cursed. And this is just for me before you get all upset.
Both full suss bikes I owned just gave me pain, suffering and heartache. I parted with both of them with tears in my eyes.
I believed the hype with Charge Spoon saddles and liked em so much I have em on both bikes
Tragically dropper seatposts and huge wide bars for me.
