I think it has to be my Hope seatpost clamp. It's the only part of my bike that I havn't replaced.

Gravity dropper seatpost is by far the favourite thing on my bike; don't think I could live without it nowadays, need to find a secondhand one for my hardtail I think 🙂

Gloves.

Normally the last thing I put on before I ride so I associate them with the "here we go" anticipation as you set off on a ride.

My Montane Featherlight. Packs down to nothing but perfect for when the breeze gets up or the odd shower on an otherwise sunny day.

Oh - my old Hope XC Pro silver hubs - now promoted back to best bike duty, and never touched in about 6 years - fab. They're not as sexy or noisy as the blue Hope Pro II singlespeed ones on the, erm, singlespeed, though.

I [b]love[/b] the fact that it took me about 17 years of mountain biking to discover lock-on grips, and every flat barred bike has them on as a matter of course. When I say 'love' I mean, 'am annoyed at'... 😕

Bel Air RL saddles, too - I fear the day they stop making them, or 'improve' them or something.

Finally - my el cheapo Decathlon own brand black gilet. Brilliant bit of kit and cost me buttons, because I didn't want to spend loads on one as I didn't know if I'd use it. I do.
