RiverInTheRoad Posted May 14, 2018 Posted May 14, 2018 Reverb above handlebar mount issued on 2x spec bikes. SRAM brakes. The begger outside our office is more reliable.
BaGearA Posted May 14, 2018 Posted May 14, 2018 A few items to add to the (bike related list): - Older chainring bolts that require that special tool to hold them just enough to ensure you destroy your knuckles. - Aluminium Hope freehubs that cassettes bite into.- Shimano cup-and-cone hubs.- Any bike part that requires a special tool to service or bleed (pedals etc.). This thread reminds me of a similar article on Pinkbike: https://www.pinkbike.com/news/what-are-your-mtb-pet-peeves-opinion.htmlCup and cone hubs will last forever if you look after them , its the easy of use with regards to replacments that people ( including me ) like about cartridge bearings cup and cone is a damn good design , just sucks balls to work on/with
lyslexic Posted May 14, 2018 Posted May 14, 2018 passengers that change the temperature on their side of the car. yes, i know we can have different temperatures, but the numbers must match!!! Drives me nuts when they don't. Poor design! The person who came up with that idea.

My zone always gets affected by the hotter zones..... Sigh. Firstworldproblems......

The Ouzo Posted May 15, 2018 Posted May 15, 2018 passengers that change the temperature on their side of the car. yes, i know we can have different temperatures, but the numbers must match!!! Drives me nuts when they don't. Poor design! The person who came up with that idea.buy a car that lets you synch the two temps. problem solved. What grinds me on cars with climate control is the people that dont know how to use them, they put the temp on its coldest and then manually adjust the fan speed. Expensive climate control system now rendered pointless.
stefmeister Posted May 15, 2018 Posted May 15, 2018 SA's 2 prong plugs (not the Schuko ones), and every manufacturer that spec their products with an outboard DC adapter with these abominations.
Piernas Flacas Posted May 15, 2018 Posted May 15, 2018 Maybe it is just me but the rear derailleur hanger on my 2014 Giant Trance is driving me nuts. It has loosened but is held in place by a tiny countersunk screw with either a Torx or tiny Allen head (2mm is "stripped" (not me m'lud) 2.5mm won't fit grrr)). It's location is such that you cannot get a punch, cold chisel or Dremel to it without grinding some other part as well. It also seems to be stainless steel because it is resisting the 1,5mm drill I have tried. Couldn't they just have put a decent sized, accessible fixing there? I saw a video on YouTube of a guy removing stripped screws with a rubber band placed between the screw and the screwdriver/tool for grip. Maybe that will work.
Piernas Flacas Posted May 15, 2018 Posted May 15, 2018 Radio.jpg This darn button on all VW radios!!!! Because every time you turn the volume up or down the button doesn't look up any longer. DRIVES ME NUTS!!!As much as I love my Golf 6, I agree. That volume button or the steering wheel controls are useless and not ergonomic at all. Renault is much better at that with the satellite control on the side of the steering wheel. You can do everything sound related with one hand without taking your eyes off the road.
andreas17777 Posted May 15, 2018 Posted May 15, 2018 All cars that don't have bluetooth as standard, why make it illegal to speak on your phone but cars are still sold without bluetooth systems.
