Seeing how locktite vs taflon tape Italian BB installation argument that never fails to get heated up regardless of how many times it pops up again and again I was wonderin what other *Coke vs Pepsi/I'm right and yer wrong* issues are right up there?

locktite as taflon tape
Assos vs Rapha
highend vs inexpensive
custom vs stock frame
Campy vs Shimano vs Sram
carbon vs metal
horizontal TT vs sloping TT (trad vs compact)
new Ergo shape vs the old
11sp vs 10sp
triple vs compact
clincher vs tubular

What else?

Assos vs Rapha

These guys are on the same team as far as I'm concerned. No vs here.

You mean: Across the hall vs Across the hall


Btw, folks, can we refrain from listing non-cycling 'versus issues'. I mean that could go for infinity besides I could say donkey vs ass or a yankee vs a damn yankee or some such thing and that would stress Pete out which is just not good.

I wasn't aware of a locktite vs teflon tape controversy with bottom brackets. Grease should be added in there as well then.
