Some interesting things pop into your mind when you're workin' in the bike shop 50-80 hours a week.
These are the names we come up with for bikes/components/accessories that suck some/all the time or at least suck when we're having trouble with them:
Ergo-Throw, Ergo-Poo, Ergo-Fro, Eject-O-Mo
(the Ergomo Power Meter)
Open-Throw, Open-Ho
(Mavic's Open Pro rim)
Can-O-Ale, JackHammer, Ca-non-da-lay (the French way of saying:)
(Cannondale)
Open Sore V.D.
(The predecessor to the Open Pro- the Open 4CD rim)
Shrek, Truck, Wreck, MicrosoftGMCocaColaGEHaliburtonWalMart
(anything Trek)
Special Ed, The Great Consolidator, The Evil Empire
(Specialized- great- now Sinyard is gonna come after me)
Be Raunchy
(Bianchi)
se rota ("itself is broken" in Italian, loosely- cut me some damn slack)
(Serotta)
Power Crap

(duh)
Cramp and Go Slow
(Campagnolo, made up about 1138 years ago)
Shitmano
(duh- and shut up, I ride and like Shimano)
Please note if you have any strong affinity with any of these brands- the above comments are nothing but pet names assigned in frustration or when we see odd stuff with a certain product. I am in no way dissing what you ride or making any sort of judgement about you or your bike. We have to have some sort of fun sometimes. Get over it.
