i dont see the point in hammerschidt, the thing that works most consistently on my bike is the front mech. Why would I want to loose pedalling effciency and add weight for such a small gain?

I hate how expensive everything is. I get trade(40% off) and I still think its too much to pay.

£110 for a chain guide made from basic plastic and a small amount of metal with three screws- youre having a f**king laugh!

I think alot of pricing comes down to manufacturing costs, rather than materials costs - e.thirteen is a relatively small company so they're not shifting that many units which puts the price up.

But yeah £110 is alot of money for one component!

i hate energy drinks and their carpet bomb marketing strategies.


shit my hate powers are really weak at the minute. a hot new girlfriend and a new job has really killed a lot of my beef.
come on now Harrison,pull it together,if you don't start hating something quick fast,you'll begin to hate yourself,and that is the end from there!!!
