I've always thought this was an interesting name choice for men's shorts

Go straight to the source, Aliexpress...I have a Coospo speed & cadence transmitter on my bike, and I have some Roswheel cargo bits. Also once ran a DRIFT MANIAC cassette laugh

A company called Kapvoe has actually made a respectable name for themselves making cycling glasses with prescription inserts.

Edit: I also have a Cairbull convertible helmet. If anyone asks what a Cairbull is, I'll tell them I imagine it's something like a Care Bear cheeky

If we are including Aliexpress, DICKASS brakes are a pretty good contender:

If I had a factory in Roswell that made wheels, I'd call them Roswheels too.

Not Amazon but in our B&B house this week. Who thought this was a good idea?

Really high end appliances that unfortunately share their name with an epithet used often on the Brit-com "Red Dwarf"

My all-time favorite is FartPeach. 


Almost bought this based on the brand name alone.

Hahaha, thanks for the heads up.  Apparently too fancy for our entire group as no one was aware that we were supposed to be impressed and not gutter-humored.
