Hi all, struggling to think of ideas of what to get for christmas relating to biking (preferably XC). Therefore if you have any ideas just note them down. Thanks!

tubeless kits are always a good one.

one of the garmin gps units that have proper mapping so you can race yourself over local laps.

lycra and stash in general, you can never have enough.

winter shoes

good socks and gloves

off-roading lights

tarting up parts

lightweight finishing kit.

multi-tools

hydration bags

pumps/co2 cannisters

cleaning products

lube

turbo trainer possibly

heartrate monitor


thats the sort of thing.

a good track pump is a good present as well, not the sort of thing people buy for themselves, but hugely useful, something like a SKS renkompressor is really really nice, but I'd never buy myself one over a cheapo one.

GHill

Custom lizard skin or ODI grips (personalised lock rings). Or are they US only?

custom hope parts if they use hope brakes....

Got myself the retro one for about £20 from the LBS.

covelove

sealskinz socks or gloves, great for using on a boxing day ride!
