Mine is dog poo stuck on my wheel, esp in dry weather, that flicks up into your face and you wipe it off on your glove and then smell it for the rest of the ride as its stuck on your glove 😉
Worst sound is one of nagging creaks that you don't know where its comming from 😉
+1 dog poo - except you didn't need to be so graphic.
Luckily managed to avoid flicking onto face but getting a puncture just after running through a big juicy turd is quite unpleasant.
Sound...
click click click click click click click click click
^^ my bike at the moment. Driving me nuts.
Smell...
yeah it really doesn't get worse than a dog poo incident
"...Worst sound is one of nagging creaks that you don't know where its comming from..." - Marin Owner? 😉
Worst Sound... someone asking for the first aid kit or "do you know the number for mountain rescue"!
smell/groan of cooking brakes just before they stop working altogether and you have an unscheduled 'stop'.
For those still stuck in the 20th century (not riding tubeless):
Hiiiiiiisssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!
I was a marin owner Dylan but funnily it never creaked 😉 Just didn't get on with the ride position. No I have had a few creaks in the past on my Five but found them eventually 🙂
Graphic: Needed to descibe the sensation in words 😉
You can smell the shit on the fields, a bit of something or other flies up and hits you on the top lip- you can still smell shit- you daren't lick your lips, is it mud or shit? Start spitting, rinse with camelbak don't drink from camelbak again until you get home.
Worst sound? Being on a stretch of road with lorries coming past. I hate being on roads on my bike
worst sound= chainsuck
worst smell= dog muck
the crack of breaking bones on rock/tree stump.
the ping/crack of a chain snapping when you're stood up.
smell is that dirty metallic smell you get when you take an old haggered BB out. bad times.
GT85 is the worst smell. It's worse than that shitty smell that ancient air from and inner tube has and it's worse than a fresh dog turd thrown in your face from the front tyre; although it probably tastes better. The smell of GT85 says "I hate my bike".
If, as I do, you live with two elderly dogs, you'll find that the smell of incontinence becomes less of an issue since you're daily cleaning up poo from within the home!
I've been getting up at least once a night for the last 2 years at about 2am to clean up.
Worst smell- barkers eggs on wheel/pedals
worst sound- pssssst as it means it's time to sort out that snakebite fatty
I've been getting up at least once a night for the last 2 years at about 2am to clean up.
No wonder you're so cranky!

Sound- that annoying squeek that you can't locate for weeks.
Smell- the smell of inner tubes as it means I'm probably changing a flat tyre

All taken last summer on one path in my local wood.
Worst sound the loud fart as I take off over the bars, worst smell follows quickly after
worst smell - defintely dog muck, especially when you can smell it but can't find it
worst sound - a chain snapping at maximum crankage signalling impending pain and loss of flesh
jesus Buzz, do all the dogs round your way eat beetroot or something ?
worst sound and smell - flesh toasting on a rotor ?
Buzzlightyear... Do all the dogs round your way survive on beetroot?
Smell - Poo on the glove/bars/tip of the nose.
Sound – Illegally ridden motor cycles.
Smell - That horrible 'cattle piss' smell in or around moorland peat bogs
, or, when your friend who you are tailing down a trail lets rip right in your face!
Sound - squeaky wet brakes, sends a shiver down my spine
Worst sound is something creaking/clicking/squeaking when it shouldnt. My wheels make a weird clunky click each time they spin, like somethings come loose and is rolling around inside the rim. Any ideas?
Hate the sound of a tyre losing air from a huge thorn or nail 🙁
Worst smell is dog/sheep shite.
Sound of a hacksaw blade running across my frame as I got ut of the saddle to climb a hill, which told me that I had yet again cracked my Marin swingarm!
When I cracked my Heckler downtube there was no noise what so ever, only a good clean revealed the damage.
Smell - yup, dog muck closely followed by 'slurry'.
Sound - a, cough,SRAM,cough, chain breaking at high speed. 😥
" Do all the dogs round your way survive on beetroot?"
Colour cast from rubbish phone camera.
It's so bad that my GF wont go up there at all now. In fact, it's only the access tracks near the car park that are affected. The fantastic hidden wiggly singletrack, is unaffected thankfully.
So my theory is that it's lazyness: the dog owners are too lazy to walk far AND too lazy to pickup the excrement.
smell - the local sewerage works along the river I ride beside on my local loop. God knows how people live there.
sound - the ping ping ping of a broken spoke.
smell - the plastic bag of riding gear you 'knew you'd left somewhere'
sound - the split second of silence just before you realise a threaded fitting has rounded/sheared
Worst smell - deffinately dog eggs...
Worst sound - Going to Coed-y-Brenin with someone who's self-proclaimed "hardcore and gnarly", only to have whinging after 2 miles about how hard it is... worst than any creak, pop, fizz or squeal... 😀
The smell after 10 blokes have slept in a small room following a night eating curry and drinking beer
Worst smell - probably my car after I have left my slightly damp shimano shoes in the back overnight. Dog poo on the bike comes a very close second!
Worst sound - "Don't you know you aren't allowed to ride on this footpath?"
Worst sight - A wet and well used (by horses) bridleway with no banks or shortcuts to ride through, around, along - leaving no choice but the mudfest left by our equine foe! With Horse poo in the middle!
All taken last summer on one path in my local wood.
Fantastic!!!! A collage of Poo!!!
Tom
I had the same thing , turned out to be a loose spoke
smell - sweaty bike kit, shoved in a bag and forgotten about, only to be rediscovered two weeks later when your rifling through the boot looking for an errant tin of beans post big-shop. mmmmm stinky.
Worst smell BY FAR:
That bottle you had the Rego in, had about an inch left in it, only you for got to wash it out.
Two weeks ago.
I'm sure that stuff ferments!
Binned the lot, it was as if Satan himself climbed out the bottle and up my nose.
