Poor design thread

[Stretch]

from a design perspective, this is actually one of the better ones around. Most other companies have followed in their footsteps, and while it's true that the OS and functionality has lagged in recent iterations (decidedly NON Steve Jobs-esque) it's an iconic and brilliant design. 

 

oh - i am just stirring. I find the IOS user interface to be clumsy and non-intuitive...but I am bored late afternoon on a hump day waiting for someone to do something for me before I can progress

Or some Android soy latte drinking wannabe topknotter who thinks buying a Samsung means he is artisanal.

Were they not also generally used together with those short lived 'rapid rise' rear derailleurs that needed brain re-programming to master?

Press fit BB

Would never consider another bike again with that perpetually creaking POS....

Gripshift in general, or this specific model ?

 

I think grip shifters are the best thing since silicone implants !!

No pushing and prodding for gears, just grip and rip

just incase 

 

PRESSFIT bottom brackets

Cape cycle systems .....with omnico in A close second

But that first time shifting up on an uphill though.....

Never used to think about the shifting, just shifted and moved along ..... now though I am a big fan of the robust feeling shifts with SRAM

The brake levers were also your shift lever.Grabbed a handful of brakes when i was shifting to my granny gear and went flying over the bars.

Dual control = mtb

Sti = road bike

I loved my low-nornal xtr derailleur. Once I got used to it found it made a lot more sense.

[Mada3400]

anything with a seat angle less than 75 degrees, or when the actual seat angle makes the seat disappear over the rear axle when you extend the dropper

 

35mm handlebar standard

 

fork crowns

I also preferred that, wish they still made that option.
