Mountain Biking - So what DOESN'T suck?

Too many things sucking lately. What brands are acceptable enough to "not suck"?

Pacific and Schwinn.

What about ellsworth? are they l33t?

Oh, and Fat Chance....fat chance definitely does not suck!

I don't care what anyone else says, Specialized does not suck - your basic Specialized bike will put up with more abuse than anything els I've seen (and I've been to alot of bike races). Any anything else that doesn't break underneath you doesn't really suck. All this 'suckiness' is a matter of opinion and just plain snobbishness.

What about rhyders sunglasses?

You Jon, you don't suck. Quite the contrary, you blow! :roflmao:

Don't make me pull out that bike mirror again stacey. :D

SRAM doesn't suck.


Industry Nine sucks.

pheard does not not suck.

p.s. Specialized sucks.
But...... why? :( :( :(

Pheard - I think you're a nice young man, regardless of what other people say.

Why does Specialized suck? Because you can spend WAY more money on a bike and it doesn'r work as well. My kids don't have any Specialized bikes that they ride anymore, but I have a too small 2000 Hardrock Comp frame, and a 1999 Steel hardrock frame that they refuse to part with. One rides a GF now, and the other (the kid) has been through C'dale & is now on a Salsa streak. But sell the Hardrocks? NO WAY, Mom! Those suckers last. Maybe that's why they suck?

But...... why? :( :( :(

Because people are joking around having a good time. If you pay attention you will notice that these things are not being said in any serious threads.

Glad you think so. ;)

oh, Lowcel, I know that. We all suck, especially with a vacuum in hand.

Are you just going to keep buying different bikes until you get one that everyone else finds acceptable? Just ride your bike and stop worrying about your image.

Heck I suck, especially when on a bike this time of year. By the way, hope this place stays active a few minutes. The longer I'm entertained on here the longer I can put off getting on the trainer. :rolleyes:

This suggests that he has an image to be concerned about.

Ouch!!!! :eek:

I'm slightly disapointed mcoine you didn't see the sarcasm in this thread. I could care less what brands anyone likes or dislikes.

and you think this is a serious thread?

In that case quit buying new bikes and learn to ride the one you have. :p

So wait... are you saying shimano sucks?

Damnit... now I gotta go buy all sram.

Everything, I guess, sucks. So, the solution is to boycott everything & walk.

And, Pheard, after Lowcel, you're on my adoption list... after those pesky kids I already have grow up. Don't hold your breath - I hate that tactic.

My ex doesn't suck. That's why she's my ex.

My ex doesn't suck. That's why she's my ex. :eek:
where is Big_knob...

I saw the sarcasm, then I saw right through it, and saw your insecurity about being accepted for having the right bike.

So wait. Are you saying sram is or is not better than shimano?

Yayyyy. Now I have someone to buy me sram parts.

Thanks Ap. :lol:

after Lowcel, you're on my adoption list . . .

^^Hey wait! What about me??? Oh, that's right . . . I'm to old to be adopted. Dang.

My ex doesn't suck. That's why she's my ex.

Mine did, but she wasnt very good at it. Sometimes it just flat out hurt.

All this 'suckiness' is a matter of opinion and just plain snobbishness.
Snobbishness sucks.

Bashing snobbishness sucks. Retaliating for bashing snobbishness sucks. Avoiding work to post on the Forums sucks . . . oh, wait, no it doesn't :D

What about Gastro? Does he......

I just suck at riding, although I am awesome at the internets.

Mine did, but she wasnt very good at it. Sometimes it just flat out hurt.
:roflmao:

Thanks for that wtp.

Teeth suck.

Of all the things that suck on here, I can say that your riding does not.

Lowcel, Pheard - I am not actually actively SEEKING adoption possibilities... JC, I'll be 51 on Wednesday. All I'm saying is that if I WERE to adopt, there's no way I'm up for putting another kid through college - got one there, and another to go. So, Lowcel, when they're done, I'll adopt you & we can talk about spending money on bike parts & you supporting me in my old age. And if you punk out, I'll just turn to Pheard.... Pheard, not that you're a standby, you're just clear across the country, and I know where Lowcel lives.

Rule number 1 - Train girl
Rule Number 2 - avoid braces
Rule number 3 - If number does not apply, find one with experience so you don't have to train them

Teeth suck.

Not only that, but also when they squeeze your little lads to hard.

Kittens, little girls, and butterflies do not suck. Please define suck and I can give you a better answer. Price? Value? Style?

Titanium seats suck.
