Now THAT is over-rated! I am a full-on coffee aficionado...though my own rig falls embarrassingly short of the ones posted here...but having been to Indonesia and trying Luwak coffee from various roasters, I still do not prefer it to the regular brew I make from Caffe Umbria....custo crema...even with the shipping fees to Taiwan it's worth it!

Yeah they are not firecrest's, just older (2010) clinchers.
I think they are overrated since my Reynolds assault and even more so, my pair of November 58mm carbon clinchers roll just as well, a lighter and way less money.
If someone wanted to sell me some 303 clincher (firecrest's) for $900 I'm a buyer!

I bet we can find folks here who will "process" it for even cheaper.

Come to think of it, even with the pricey stuff, how do you know what animals dung they dug it out of? Do the fare trade people look into this?

helmets
high vis clothing
not riding with earbuds
Now before anyone causes their undergarments to become uncomfortably tightened, note that the thread title is "Overated", not "Worthless"

Underrated: Quality cycling clothing that will get you through any season
Overrated: Expensive bike parts that only have a marginal (read:negligible) influence on performance
Also underrated: The effects of training instead of spending another 1k on your bike. You could replace your X for $Y. Or you could add an extra training day instead of only going out in the weekends. The latter is free and about a Z times more effective.

It took this thread seven posts before I lost interest. That's four seconds I'll never get back. Plus the two minutes I spent typing this, including backspaces, corrections, and scratching an itch on the inside of my right eye.

Is comparing gay marriage to colored water fountains a good point? No, of course not, because they're totally different things. You're comparing a race to a sexual preference! Hell, we might as well have rights for pedophiles, since they WANT to be that way! There comes a point where you should not accept certain things. Now, I'm not the one to judge what that point is, and I'm fine with *****exual "marriage", but I really don't believe that it should be called "marriage", since I think it's not marriage. Is that really being a bigot? No, not really. Also, learn to spell moron before you call someone it. It's "moron", not "moran". Of course, you already edited it... but I had already gotten my subscription email.
fwiw, pedophiles or any other group of people should have the same civil rights/liberties as everyone else. these rights/liberties should only be withheld if a party directly or recklessly interferes with the civil rights/liberties of another party..
now...back to the guy several spaces of above: CERAMIC bearings= incredibly overrated. i have talked several people out of them the past few weeks.

I deleted some P&R nonsense, which is definitely overrated
