Ttocs Posted July 13, 2016 Posted July 13, 2016 Specialized Evade Helmet, there are easier ways to look like a real knob on a MTB.
Two-Stroke Posted July 13, 2016 Posted July 13, 2016 Sold the Scott and bought a Specialized. Bike is great but non-Spez owners dish out so much hate... So sad, no friends left, lonely rides etc. Why oh why
nonky Posted July 13, 2016 Posted July 13, 2016 Shimano XT i-spec shifters for a bike with formula brakes...
bikebloke Posted July 13, 2016 Posted July 13, 2016 gopro black bloody pointless always saying ill use it to record awful sa drivers never happens its a fancy paperweight with fancy accessories BUT at least I have never purchased a Fizik Arione saddle which judging by the classifieds on bikehub is the most regretted and unwanted bike related purchase out there
MarcBurger Posted July 13, 2016 Posted July 13, 2016 Biggest mistake was buying "boring" coloured wheels and components.Black hope hubsBlack rimsBlack bars That moment when someone else comes past and his bike looks waaay too similar to yours. Makes me sad sometimes.

HappyMartin Posted July 13, 2016 Posted July 13, 2016 My last mountain bike. Waste of money. Never ride it. Bought my first MTB in 1992 and rode like a crazy person all over the place. Toured and commuted and raced. Stage races, one day events, 24 hour team events and 24 hour solo. Week long tours and even a 6 month tour. Sick of it. Hate bike parks. Don't like the two man team format for stage races. Get annoyed with the constant grazes and bruises from silly crashes caused by a lack of skill and concentration. Much prefer the catastrophic hospitalisation I have every two years on a road bike. Perhaps one day I will get back to it meantime it was a badly spent 30K
VolkAdik Posted July 13, 2016 Posted July 13, 2016 Merida Big 9 TFS (lost R1300 on resale)Rudy Project Zumax helmet (lost R500 on resale)Specialized Allez comp DSW (lost R200 on resale) All bought brand new and sold within 2-3 months of purchase, gave up on buying things based on Hype
Eon du Plessis Posted July 13, 2016 Posted July 13, 2016 I wont buy a gopro.....although people with gopros seem to enjoy riding behind me, I think it is because sooner or later you will see me eat some dirt. Ask Chukky....he has me going over the bars. And it was not an "awesome" crash, It was a " what a noob" one. Im expecting one day to get a blackmail letter Depending on your level of attractiveness, it may not solely be for your crashes.
