Hey at least they mention all the crappy ones:
"Shockster Seatpost Suspension Full Suspension (URT Design)"
They forgot softtail. Those take the cake especially when they are undamped
Oh and slingshot and softride...
Damn this new softride product actually looks kinda useful - WTH? Has anyone checked it out before:

You can't possibly think there's a reasonable use for that Super Monster'd, double DHX'd behemoth.It seems more people are just posting stuff that is unnecessary or not suited for themselves rather than truly useless other than maybe the Super Monster
Well it already has a super monster so by default its broken
That Softride rack looks kinda cool other than claimed weight is kinda low at 33 lbs (but and it seems to be sold at major sporting good store...
Gotta disagree with you on this one.truly worthless....D
They are almost essential for a frame that uses full cable housing all the way from the shifter to the deraileur.
My SX Trail has no cable stops for the rear drl. and I'm running an old XTR drl.
I once dated this chick who was shocked that I payed so much for a bike that didn't have a kickstand.
Why the hell would you want a 1x9/10 road bike?
just had to put this one out there
shimano airlines
grimeca system 17

I actually like this product, It was a neccessary Item on my old KHS when running SHimano, not because I was worried about "catching the loop" But because the rear loop of housing would wear out sooo damn fast.truly worthless....D
Now, truly worthless
Some would say bikes are unnecessary
There are a few situations where those help. There are a couple of bikes that we sell that often benifit from them.Now, truly worthless
Some of the CX riders I know run a single ring up front with a thin carbon bash guard outside and the jump stop on the inside. Keeps it nice and light and works well in mud. Could you imagine an E13 SRS on a cross bike?
The bikes I was referring to are a couple of cross bikes, and a touring bike.
A jumpstop was necessary on my old Superlight.
I think it'd be a little awkward, just based on the shape of the jumpstop.I bet w/ a Dremel you could mod that thing and have a sweet little bottle opener.
I have to disagree with the foam grips. Yeah, most are absolute junk, but the Ritchey true grips are pretty decent. A lot of people around here run them and have no complaints.
Back in the day when ultra light XC and terrible ano. color were the rage, I used them too. They were good. Most foam grips suck though...
Yeah I've got some I9s too
I disapprove of your bike's wheels, but have no issue with the grips.I just stuck a pair on my new bike with the unnecessary wheels.
Paint on aluminum.
Those THE anti-pinchflat rims...
Those THE anti-pinchflat rims...
Are you advocating unfinished aluminum parts? Or are you in favor of anodizing everything? Either way, not a good solution.
What's wrong w/ raw?
The Jumpstop is a decent product: it's cheap and works exactly as advertised. I have no complaints.
Scottoiler...are you really that lazy? "When your chain is all covered in mud, no need to clean it, just add more oil!" $50+
I didn't see one of these posted:
well I wouldn't buy a bike that was so poorly designed to need a rollamajig...oh and all you have to do is get a SRAM dérailleur and it's taken care of...D
good one...I think the softride was one of the worst bike inventions ever! Who the hell wants a bike that changes the riders position with every bump on the road...DI didn't see one of these posted:
