The Ultimate Ranking Bible of Accessories Brands

I love reading they threads because I haven't a clue what your talking about haha I always thought xtr was the bollocks until I came on here I do live in dead end of the country plus raidan yo got to be taking the piss with them tyres but then again I got no idea and could start looking for farmer giles tyres haha but I am learning day by day
 
I think you also have to consider form over function in any equation. Propensity to crack and fail too.
 
Crikey, don't even remember some of those tyres, were Farmer Giles more incestuous relations of Farmer John and his cousins, nephews etc? Certainly had plenty of them in late 80's.
Farmer Giles' nephew didn't work.
Neither did his uncle, or the rest of his family, for that matter.
Multi-generational , unemployable, a cultural dead end.

It's an interesting idea, but there's a challenge:
It's multi- dimensional

That makes the order very subjective.

Some premium brands are more nichey or cliquey than others.

I won't flag them up here, as it always causes offence to the fans😉,
but having worked on tens of thousands of bikes, i see clear connections between personality types and specific brands, and in turn that changes over time.

Muddy fox was way cool in 89, but by 99 it was becoming catalogue nonsense.
So there's often a time signature with the rise and fall of a brand.
