Top 3 with bullet points… I will kick off.

KS dropper seatpost – 3 years and 3 calbe cleans later still working great.

Casco Viper helmet – great lid that adds confidence especially when remote riding tech stuff, cooler than a full face too.

Wingnut backpack – low slung with accessible side pockets, looks odd but works great.

1)the front wheel
2)the back wheel
3)the chain

Pedals

Haribo Tangfastics – yummy and enable a bit more pedal time
Hip Flasks – yummy and enable a bit more pedal time
Pubs – yummy and enable a bit more pedal time*

*well, you’re out longer anyway

– Reverb, almost two years old, works fine.
– Saint brakes, two years old, work fine.
– CCDB, lives up to the hype.

Car’s – otherwise I’d still be riding round the edges of fields not knowing there was anything more interesting to do.

Bikes – no standout components on my Pitch, Lyrics, reverb, XT brakes, Silentguide, XT 10 speed, hope hubs, Mavic rims, etc, it all works and works very well. None of it’s better than anythign else anymore.

Mountains – because a 30 min decent is always better than a 30 second hill.

The only edit this needs is ‘Eat Cake’

Interesting topic, well done. Here would be my three and in no typical order, first off I would choose
Dual brake/shifter set- fabulous invention!

Secondly I would chose my met parachute, hence my recent post, protection is of the upmost importance in ones collection.
And thirdly is a very close one between my elbow pads or my reflective ankle straps, that might sound quite bizarre to some of you but as your choosing your up and down seatposts! 😆 I’d rather be seen thank you very much!
