Just as a giggle, what BMX or part or related item, should over the years be sent to the room of shame.
And please, no reference to the 'Nottingham' made cycles !
Play nicely now :4_17_5:

Comp IV Tyres absolute junk >:(
-
Aeroyal seats "nono"

-

Cw bars ( the big ugly fookers, not the freestyle ones!) :knuppel2:
Sorry cw bar lovers ;)

Cw bars ( the big ugly fookers, not the freestyle ones!) :knuppel2:
Sorry cw bar lovers ;)
I hated these bitd but now I have found the love for CW I have found the love for these bars.
You might feel the love too one day :LolLolLolLol:
-
...they do look great on some bikes 8)
but selle aeroyal ... with that little spoiler ..... uaaaah :teef:
-
Hmm 2 of my top 3 are in already ..
CW bars ... Sorry .. They just don't look right ..
-
My first ever post on rad was a link to the re-release of the Aeroyal. Got shot down big style but they will always have a special place for me :smitten:
Can i put race bikes in :LolLolLolLol:
-
Ash, Phil and Steve's BOTM entries :LolLolLolLol:
Only joking, they are awesome :daumenhoch: :Great_Britain:

I like those Acorn Freestyle Mags ;)

I'm with you there bro :daumenhoch: For ass comfort, get an aeroyal, for piles removal, get a Kashi Aero :D
-

I like you, but you can always be sent in your Shell suit :daumenhoch:
-
Lay back seat posts , I know there good for the larger rider but IMO there ugly as fook :yahoo_silent:
-
:LolLolLolLol:
One man's junk , ::)
I like CW bars , DX levers ,Comp IV's,,Haro levers look nice but don't work well
I like most BMX stuff cheapo or branded , common or rare,,
obviously I've no taste :LolLolLolLol:
This is what makes this site great ,,you get to see bikes built in every different style and form ,,,members producing bikes in a different way than you may have chosen and seeing that sometimes it works really well and changes your opinion :4_17_5:
-

Laybacks are cool and look good on any bike, it's the braced laybacks that look pants :crazy2:
-
Aeroyal seats "nono"
100% agree :daumenhoch:
-
Aeroyal seats "nono"
100% agree :daumenhoch:
Snob :D
-
Snake post type seat posts "nono"
-
braced laybacks and snake posts, the snake ones just look like some bloater has crumpled it ;D
-
As said snake posts and aeroyal seats. Just not right. :uglystupid2:
-
Pretty much everything from copycat companies that couldn't be bothered to think if something themselves...
-
Dirt skirts.
Ooh yeah, and front brakes :daumenhoch:
-
Tioga Utra Dyno cranks (wobbled after 3 days riding... i think they were made out of old soup cans ...shite!)
Shimano 600's ...flexed like hell .... i think bananas would've made sturdier cranks!
Skyway tuff pedals......looked cool but the cages flexed like fook & used to make snapping noises as they slipped over the plastic nipples next to the cage screws when riding.
Phil Wood pedals.....Ugly as fook & looked like cut up bits of patio door tracking!
Oakley 3's ...ugliest grips ever!
Hare trigger levers .....used to see bits of these scattered on the track from people just sliding out!
Zeronine wildfire plates ...looked crap & way too 50's hot rod style for bmx
Then a lot of people only build bikes for show now so it's more about the look or style of the parts rather than function.
-
Shit completes for the masses that fetch stupid prices, eg. Et Krapahara, fookin rubbish bike.
-
Tech 2 levers. Hate them.
-
Oakley 3's ...ugliest grips ever!
+1 on these. Absolutely fookin' fugly looking shite and feel like it when you grip them too :crazy2:
-
BMX related you say.......................how about Scorcher Mick.
But seriously, I'd agree on CW bars, ugly as fook, and I have 3 sets. :-[
-
Yep. Braced layback posts. Wrong.
-
Acorn wheels and Saxon/Townsend bikes
-
Chequered stuff
Just a personal thing, don't want to knock anyone's build.
Especially Adam as I know he has a thing for those seats.

Simplex mags, acorn mags (the really thin spoked ones), aeroyal seats, elina UL with snake post, snake posts :buck2:
-
Snake posts, braced laybacks, yep I agree there.
Aeroyal seats are gopping I agree there too, but they are standard on a lot of Mk2 Burners and (Rob will shoot me here) I like building Burners.
Aeroyals aren't quite as bad as those variants, the yellow and white ones with the V decal in the side.

I have owned almost everything in this list at some point in my BMX career. :-[
For what it's worth, I would put all Cruisers in Room 101; if it don't roll on 20", it ain't BMX in my book. :daumenhoch:

Fook me is that painted on you rob? ;D :LolLolLolLol:
-
Body art Stu ;D
-
Redline bikes, fooking hate them. Never liked them bitd either.
Profile cranks, the oldschool ones, cannot stand those either.
MX900/1000 calipers, but only when you have different colour arms, drives me fooking mad that one.
-

I should have specified your dislike for the Mk2.
You building the GS?
Dave Beard will add cobra grips to room 101 at a guess. :LolLolLolLol:

BMX bikes with gears. Who the hell thought of that idea :loser: :D

Agreed, butt ugly.
Snake posts and wheel discs.

Chainrings made out of PTFE (plastic) :idiot2:

Plastic wheels.... all of them >:D

Pit Bikes - I cannot stand pit bikes.
Good one Sean, agreed.

Plastic wheels.... all of them >:D
I'll go with that. :daumenhoch:
-
Got to say I agree with braced laybacks and snake posts. Just awful on any bike.
I'm also with Sean on the pit bikes. Wtf are they all about?
I also hate crappy triple traps that get put on freestyle bikes. :idiot2:
All of these are wrong in my opinion. :daumenhoch:
-
Triple traps, good shout !
-
the second version of the hutch trickstar....

noticed Adams put his favourite braced CW layback up for sale.. Think he's stuck with it after this.. :LolLolLolLol:

At least triple traps served a purpose Stu, even though not old school, it's Shark bite peds that are one of my "nono" especially on freestyle scoots :idiot2:
-
Dropouts the size of small islands
-
Conventional seat guts
Threaded headsets
Laid back seat posts
Gyros fitted to bikes that haven't seen a tailwhip or barspin.... pointless :idiot2:

VDC Changa, no need for a bike to be so ugly. Not that keen on GJS big tubes either.
MKS Grahite pedals, no grip at all
Alloy cranks that belong on racers
Open bearing hubs for racing
Hatta sealed headsets, never got one to work yet
Most Zeronine plates as they are way too big (early MRD's fall foul of this aswell)
Chainrings over 44t and bikes with different colour seats and grips.
Rant over

-
with you on 901's, horrible looking brake
Not only do they look pants....but the cable routing from them is just horrible too! In my opinion theyre really only set up for US routing with the cables going into the opposed levers :daumenhoch:
-
and they're really tall so if you bail and your bars spin round you twat the fook out of your downtube :-\
That's it then Gav, we've decided they need to be binned forever to room 101 ;D

Why have you got a front 901 on? "nono"
IF you run a front it should be an 880 with a 901 rear :pilky:
Surely :LolLolLolLol:
-
I don't have one on Nick, but they made them so someone must've run em? in their defence, on the rear they do work well

But you still cant polish a turd :LolLolLolLol:

I bought a white set in Nov 2008 to put in a white DP Freestyler, utter garbage.
But on the plus side, I had bought a full set off eBay for £39.99, and sold the components (blocks. cable clips etc) seperately, and nearly doubled my money.
Jesus, I've just admitted to being a *******. :LolLolLolLol:

hutch aero speed cranks.....they look nice but are weak as hell, saw a fair few break bitd and while i'm at it the pedals were just as bad

I had one in the past 1984 .. the first Imitation GT Performer.
Did had GT performer decals on them , back in those days.
They were weak and the rear bridge did bend down from Jumping and using it on a quaderpipe.
I believe Spartacus does have one from a friend of mine in black :coolsmiley:

To be honest I don't really remember them. 2's were uncomfortable as you grabbed them with 4 fingers, 3's worked well but pre-bends were my favourite
