    Daft I know but mix brands, I'm a bit OCD but I can't do for example a SRAM shimano mix drivetrain or arockshox fork and a fox shock. It's awful I know and it does my own head in that it comes above functionality. I'm the same with my kit, I can't mix, for example fox and 661 stuff. I'm like it with lots of stuff though too, footy kit, car tyres, furniture.

    a bit OCD :? try a LOT OCD!!!

    Good point well made

    I'd put into room 101:

    Kids in piss-pot helmets with bikes that are half broken, but are still quicker than me.

    Anodised red parts on pink bikes

    Anodised gold parts on white bikes

    MBUK stickers stuck on Bikes - I take particular (petty) offense if a product from the brand on the sticker is nowhere to be seen on the bike or it's rider.

    Home made stickers on bikes (or even professionally made ones where the print artwork has not been created properly -this i'm particularly anal about because of my line of work)

    The words "stoked", "sick" and "gnarly"

    i'm sure there's a lot more...

    Dropping a bolt on the floor, then realising it was the only ****ing bolt on the entire ****ing bike that isn't a standard size. Then spending half an hour moving lawnmowers and old motorbike engines and stuff around looking for it, then giving up, fitting a different part, then instantly finding it as soon as you do.

    Also servicing a part that worked perfectly well just because it seemed time to do it, then having it never work again :lol:

    Dropping the most used Allen-key (that's needed for possibly every adjustment on the bike) through the decking. . .

    building a bike and realising you're 1 crucial part away from finishing which you end up going to your LBS to buy because you just can't wait.
    Then going on the net and realising if you could have waited 48hrs you would have saved half the cost by buying online :lol:

    I got spares of the 4mm (for everything on a mtb) and 5mm + the 13mm socket (for everything on a motorbike) when I got my main tool set, it's taken me a few years but I've finally managed to lose all the spares. None of them's ever been out of the garage either :roll: Somewhere some sort of robot magpie has built a little steel nest.
