MSBNL:
F*ck it, I'll say it, GT dropnose seats, don't understand what people like about them.
blueee:
heavy monster truck tires
tires with near no material on the sidewalls
microknobbies that tear one right after another
khe tires that only come in one size, 2.15
36hole odsy midways and other superheavy duty rims and hubs being in 36h
dropdown frontload stems in conjunction with highrise bars
really fucking wide bars
deluxe grips that look like old corey martinez grips but are made of shit material
vans/cult grips feel like shit
shitty plastic barends
tiny pedals (flys)
premium pedal spindles are always bent
halflink chains
sprockets that have a design that looks like 5 bolt holes but only one of them actually is a bolt hole
forks that dont fit pegs (pitchforks)
elementary stem - cracked my sharp bars at the knurling, would not grip my odsy lumberjacks
lumberjack bars - same geometry as my slam bars but feels like shit
torontoflatlander:
KHE in general. I have never hated a company as much as this, but its based on the fact that way back when they denied that there was anything wrong with their terribly weak and awful products.
metalbmxer:
Wow great read blueeee!
Since I ride flat I'll chime in
Rims with a sharp profile that dig into your hands when you grab them
Knobby tires
Maxxis Mirracle tires- those were the slowest f*cking rolling tires I ever felt. Ridiculous
Bars with high crossbars
Kmc 410 chains-snapped the plates off a few times on these
Bottom brackets that come with a heavy ass steel tube spacer versus the actual good quality ones that include a light aluminum spacer (but who cares I don't even run a tube spacer anymore)
Seats that don't have a good ridge on the underside that make it hard as shit to grab (most tripod seats, the animal Nigel seat, and lots of others)
Low TT scooter frames
Bent downtube frames
Frames that only come in 3/8"
Frames with removable mounts (brakeless all the way)
Any non-odyssey fork (they all crack)
Heat treated frames (they all crack)
Frames still coming out in <19" sizes
Bars still coming out in <9" (the new Hoffman flat bars are 8" what p*ssies)
That's it for now
Oddity:

Yeah this so much, then they chop the nose off.
I forgot to add Eclat's Phantom rim to my list, just complete and utter shit. The tighter you get the spokes the weaker the wheel becomes, I can bend the fucker with my hands. Not too mention the quality of the rim itself. The spokes holes were left rough as hell after drilling they tore up quite a few nipples before I realized the problem, thought I just had a bad batch of nipples.
