so much ive got in the last few months have been great. highlights tho gotta be wingnut hyper 3 and shimano winter boots for my riding comfort.

bike wise im loving the five spot 😉 the talas forks seem to be working out great too and the dt ex1750 wheelset with rws levers i got to upgrade the wheels really stiffened (is that really a word) up the front end too

Stan's Olympic Rims run without tubes. I wish I'd tried tubeless before.

Ibis Mojo - it's...it's just....there are [u]NO[/u] words to describe how good it is.

XTR Crankset (This has got to get the award for most improved since its last incarnation. The rings seem to last forever)

Gore Fusion trousers - They're frickin amazing. There's nothing to them, how on earth do they keep me warm, not sweaty and looking good?....the mind boggles.

Dirtworker - No more muddy bikes in the house.

I have XTR cranks and really can't say they're noticeably better than the latest XTs. It's a purchase I wouldn't make again.

GF - I don't have the latest XTs, was just comparing M960 - M970.

Specialized Radiant gloves. I used to really suffer with cold hands in winter and I've never found a warm glove that isn't the size and weight of a boxing glove - until now.
Endura eVent jacket, a truly waterproof waterproof that didn't break the bank, fits well, looks good and has all the features I want with none of the pointless fripperies.

RRP p1ssflap neoprene mudguard thing - one of the best things i've ever bought for my bike. Obviously it can be done ghetto style with inner tube and zipties, but that doesn't involve spending any money and where's the fun in that?

Honourable mention to my Dialled Alpine, as it's a proper ace little bike.

2nd hand pikes and slx 20mm hub. Cheap way to transform a bike!
