I enjoyed the irony of my gear cable prize from sponsor Clarks for making it onto the singlespeed podium at Sleepless in the Saddle one year.

I won stancion spray and a chain cleaner using a rigid singlespeed. Both got used/ but not on that bike! 😯
A mate won a complete group set for finishing dead last at Mountain Mayhem in the single speed solo category. It's still a source of piss taking to this day.
Whistler bike park do ladies only and men only coaching sessions a few nights a week in the summer. Each night has a raffle with names drawn out of the hat for prizes. It's usually everything from tires to helmets and usually a big prize each week, drive train, brakes, full face helmet etc. It's a pretty sweet thing for the entrants and the sponsors get a good reputation too. Problem is that anything size specific was always large, XL or XXL. So a bunch of this stuff ended up on the local buy and sell page and the sponsors took the huff. I can see why, but maybe don't donate prizes that can only be used by people 6 ft and 200 lbs?
