LovenHate

love...
The Smith Ignite
why this old fucker loves this lid..although it closely resembles the Giant aero pursuit lid..it wins me over the smooth styling compact shape and color coded interior
the eyeglass port actually works ..
buy the matte Black and Forever be the Evil-Dudes hero
 thumbs up......



like..
The Giro Vanquish
very close to lovin this bucket..uno the its Giro the fit and quality is going to be good and the colors available are rad..
not a huge fan of the built in wind screen..but surprisingly it works well..add extra cool points cuz that Junge guy who races a ton wears it..







right on


hate...

The Rudy Project Volantis
fuckin god awfull horrible looks
 its like the designer forgot to scrape more of the clay off the mold..maybe its just me..this looks like something from Super Mario adventures on the OG NES system.. too big all over ..






DNF



love...

Shimano S Phyre
smooth lines great color and awesome fit from the shoe gods of Shimano...Make the former CX state Champion Too White Walker green with envy when you show up at the next Hess training hammer







AYYYY



like....

Specialized S-works
no Kool-Aide required
crazy cool alloy BOAS and legendary fit by the S brand..downside durability has always been an issue withe S there shoes.....but hey what the fuck they look sick in the all to hard to get shop asshole bought em colors...........







Riffs for days.


hate....

any Giro lace ups
Yes the styling is sick as shit..but the comfort level is about 2 on the scale of 1-10..ill pass for now on the lace up trend






in the words of DC........eat a dick 



love...

Disc brakes on everything
stopping rules..and the looks are soo bad ass on the new bikes that we will take the aero-disadvantage any day








Bang



like....

Like calipers on roadbikes
simple easy to use and work on....in the Flat Landers world there still ok..go any where you have to descend longer 25 seconds

 if you havent tried them its like your eyesight going bad you have no fucking idea inadequacy of rim brakes are......







cheap and easy to adjust..





hate...

hate Cantis on anything
yea..its over ..its ok the run was long and well the shit never really felt that good anyway...






UFF


love...

The 100% eye-wear line
its not a Sagan thing..the proof is in the copies..never since the Oakley craze of the 90's has there ever been a more copied sun glass than 100% line of lately...and for good reason even the copies kick ass..at much more cost effective price the fragile Oakleys





SCHWING



like....

The revamped Tifosi group
once the go to specs of those that didnt wanna pay the dumb money for Oakleys or have the Rudy everyone gets the pro-deal thing...the Tifosi line has really upped there floor plan with colors and decent styling to meet the looks of today..dont be ashamed to feel good at not buying eye wear that cost less than the next over priced  meal your gonna shit out tomorrow






the universal nod of approval 


hate...any 

Rudy project sunglasses from the early Y2K
you wanna play golf?? buy these glasses..ride a bike? choose other more practical options...this was the beginning of the time when all the eyeglass company started to lose the plot over style..versus function..the lenses are soo small on these you have to have such a tiny baby face to make em fit..otherwise you look like a dam water-head with the em..
do the scene a favor if your still nursing this eye-wear this time period..do all those good kind hearted fellows that might be snapping pics this weekend at the Crit and toss them in the Ebay to sell box
 fuuuck







sorry



love...

The Frito burrito from Taco bell
YUM best bang for the buck..crunchy warm and salty...
the dollar menu is a tough thing..trying to stretch it even tougher...try it you will like it







like...

The Baconator
by far the best of the big thee burgers...always hot always juicy and built right...and the Bun kills it








hate...
Pizza Hut
uno the old saying..there is no such thing as bad pizza..and i agree..but with all the many choices out there vying for your hard earned weekend grip deliverer to your door... but i havent had decent Hut experience the mid 80s..salty as fuck filled with MSG, and a price that  has me punching myself after..

While pizza hut is mediocre at best, MSG is actually not bad. Just thought I'd share that tidbit of enlightenment so we can all eat with less fear. Here's a good listen on the history of why it was demonized.

its bad for me as it causes extreme headaches, and then eventual nausea and then vomiting

Do you get those effects when you eat sodium or glutamic acid (amino acid), or is it the placebo effect? MSG is in "natural" foods like tomatoes, seaweed, and cheese. There is literally not a pizza without MSG unless it doesn't have cheese or tomatoes. Everything is made of chemicals, and MSG is not what you think it is. Real studies (not personal anecdotes) find no connection to your symptoms and MSG. Your headaches are likely from something totally different. Just saying.

I recommend not gorging at the Chinese buffet, and then you'll feel fine.

I guess I should say, maybe MSG does actually give you terrible headaches, but in that case a lot of so called natural things will. The more you know....

yes i was diagnosed by a doctor to have allergic reaction to MSG, and surprisingly it wasn't even in the gorging of Chinese food. It came from pizza sauce.

Interesting! I stand corrected. You are one of a small percent where it is actually a problem. Our bodies can react to a billion different harmless things. Such is life.

The main myth, for the other 99% of humans, especially related to chinese buffet food had to do a lot with people simply eating too much. Anybody would feel like crap after a salty, fried buffet.
