MrJacques Posted February 3, 2014 Author Posted February 3, 2014 I have a pair of those Olympic shoes. They are a bit heavy, but they're comfy for me and have lasted more than 3 years now. The soles don't have any grip on rocks though... my next pair of shoes must have nice grippy rubber soles.
Balsie Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Was the control version, not the s works. Really bad luck then! I have moved to schwable and little more expensive but what awesome tyres! Rocket Ron/Racing Ralph combination.
Prozac Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 I'll admit it . . . Power balance bracket . . . (when it was The sh@t a few year back , i thing)
JA-Q001 Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 [ Crappy hardtail. Put me off MTBing for life. Crap MTB + inexperienced rider = hard falls & broken bones. Actually, that's a good spec mtb.

Cippo Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 italian cycling garbs thinking they'd conform to normal sizing. Right. Tight lesson learnt. You and me, both. I thought I could eventually fit into that jersey you sold me.
nolipoli Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Both 29er bikes... I am much happier having gone back to smaller wheels.
SurferChild Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 My worst buy is probably a set of clear bole glasses.... one drop of sweat on the lenses and these things never come clean again
sluiper Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Actually, that's a good spec mtb. Shows you what a crap MTBer I am. Even on a good spec MTB I fail.

Polo Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Indoor trainer, used it twice - second time to make sure it was really as crap as I remember, it was. Sold it to the next sucker.

Is the thread part of the healing process? Hopefully your recent purchase is a good one, hint.
MTBc Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 So we have a nice thread with people showing off all their latest purchases... but what's the worst cycling related purchase you've made? A cheap pump! Sitting on the side of the Monster, about 10km in, trying to reinflate a tyre with a sucky pump can be quite frustrating. This is the only ride that I've been on that I littered. I think I almost managed 80m.
nickcza Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Non-Shimano "SPD" pedals... flats on the one side, "SPD Compatible" on the other... could never unclip, to other peoples amusement.
