Your most hated parts/accesories
What parts or brand of parts or accesories do you hate, can't stand the looks of and would never spend a penny on?
For me i've lately grown to hate Landing gear forks and Lester mags.
They're two of the ugliest bike parts i've ever seen and wouldn't even accept them if they were given to me for free.
Sorry but I had to get this off my chest

Re: Your most hated parts/accesories
I hate those guys that tell you what's wrong with your build, usually those guys that build survivors.
Sorry but I will refinish whatever I want. 
Looking for Hawk gear, let me no what you got.

Re: Your most hated parts/accesories
Definitely composite mag wheels. Original magnesium wheels are slick but the plastic ones make me throw up in my mouth.
I would agree landing gear forks are one of the ugliest pieces created but a lot of people ride them to this day so they probably work well.

Re: Your most hated parts/accesories
Reflectors. Parts that are a color of the rainbow. Solid colored chains. Tires larger than 20x2.125 for the front, or larger than 20x1.95 for the rear. Pedals that are cages. Clipless pedals. Linear cables, for brakes. Carbonfiber/graphite anything. Aluminum forks. Aluminum cranks. Plastic bar ends. Latex tubes. Halflink chains.
all equally hated.
I'm sorry I don't kiss a$$.
black and chrome parts, the way bikes should always be.

Re: Your most hated parts/accesories
What's wrong with linear cables? They feel so much better than the flexy coiled cable housing.

Re: Your most hated parts/accesories
The most hated parts on my bikes are the tires, grips, seat, frame and fork, hubs and wheels. Everything else I can get away pedaling with.

I can not sit still. I have been tested for A.D.D. and A.D.H.D. and have neither. I don't need coffee, I just need a B.M.X. or surfboard to consistently ride and I'll be happy.

Anything that bites my knees and leaves a gaping wound or swollen mass. Damn I hate that.
