15 worst ever mtb inventions

Nowt wrong there except maybe the amount of stick they seem to have for spd. But they only ever ride downhill these days. Climbing is virtually unknown.

Climbing is for poor people who can't afford the uplifts..
 
Biopace, half decent idea, completely cocked up by Shimano
Rapid rise, Shimano keep trying to flog the same dead horse with no success
Plastic (Carbon) Frames, Nuff said !!!!
Snowflake Wheels, utter shite
Suspension hubs, total non starter
Flexible bars, ditto above
Scott Unishocks, more bouncy than Zebedee's arse
Suntour X-press shifters, more missed shifts than British Leyland
Expensive lightweight Sh!t, that is made of processed cheese
 
I agree that the list was compiled by riders who don't climb and who don't live in a place where it is hot. Barends are a great tool for cranking up some seriously tough terrain, toe clips and straps gave needed pedal efficiency again spinning up hill and half finger gloves? lets see you wear those full finger ones when its 100 plus degrees outside.


It just seems there were so many really bad ideas that something that works, but just not for you personally, should never make the list.

Funny, bar ends, fingerless gloves and toe clips and straps were on my "what are they doing in the list" list. :D
