15 worst MTB Products: how many can you score?

[Northern Jack]

Riding out on my old Marin Nail Trail, managed to get a definite 4 out of 15 on yesterday's ride: long stem, bar ends, finger-less gloves and toe clips. Plus I think the old Rock Shox are probably equipped with elastomers, and my seat is fairly large (but comfy). Plus this list is already 3 years old!

Still got one. Replacement for a write-off.

Bar ends are good, great for climbing.

I scored 6 and some of those I still have

Hah! Even better. Mine was a replacement for a bike I totalled on Wrynose Pass. Still haven't got my replacement ribs x 2.

While we are chatting about our Nail Trails: What are both of your serial numbers?

With all the coincidences going on, the numbers might be similar to my 'lost' bike.

Don't have the first one. I'd only had it five months when it was written off. Hit by a car, Bought in October, written off 25th March 2005
Second, FA 55 HGD 107

Rocky Ridge, as well.

Sorry! My inappropriately dark humour. I have accepted my bike has gone for good. I wasn't pointing fingers. Poor joke on my part.

Elastomer forks. That's the only one I got

 

[Nigel-YZ1]

I've got fingerless gloves. They were consigned for weight training use soon after I realised how useless they were on an MTB.

 

[Threevok]

Sorry - I also have finger less gloves - although I never wear them for off road purposes - only commute on warmer days

 

[Crackle]

OK, I'll bite. What's wrong with fingerless gloves on a mtn bike?

 

[MontyVeda]

Dunno why they hate bar-ends so much. They make the bike very stable when it's upside down for maintenance.

Nowt to apologise for. Part of mine was still in use in the shop after they'd cut it up.
They cut the tubes lengthways to show the internal shape.
