my warranty 2013 Kashima stanchions, getting over £150 of free stuff without even knowing there was an issue with my forks was a freakin' nice surprise!

My new M785 XT brakes I got a couple of weeks ago - awesome!

matisko

Andymc06,
surely you need to get some speed up to really appreciate good brakes??

The terms of the injunction clearly state no contact in person or on forums!

Contact lenses. Didnt realise how great it was not wearing prescription glasses till I finally got the nerve up to try contacts. Still wear my specs for work but riding its always the contacts. Its like riding in HD for the first time in at least 30 years.

YESYESYES. They are just phenomenal, aren't they?

I haven't actually bought anything apart from some innertubes, and a mudguard this year, so , er. Favourite thing this year is probably a mudguard, since it keeps my bum dry on the ride to work, and it doesn't get in the way if I leave it on when I go off road.
But that's a bit crap, so I'll vote for the XT brakes that I bought last year.

My Reverb, because it's so much better than all the other dropper posts on the market, even the ones I've never tried.

Reverb without a doubt.

My neo guard simple design and works well

I havent bought much this year (or last) so I will say my Ryder glasses - photochromatic lenses, good fit, bit of venting for $70.

Otherwise, err, my rear tube has lasted 3 or 4 rides since I put it in.

Got donated a saddle for a beer, sometime, not yet though. Pretty good. Oh and Kevlar pads, going well so far, but the saddle gets it if the beer remains un-bought.

I'm liking my XT shadow+ rear mech at the moment. it really does help to keep the chain under control alot more.

bluechair84

Shimano Saint brakes. Never had to cling on for dear life when braking before! Isn't this thread a bit early though? There's still half the year to come!

ashleymp777

Fat Albert tyres for Morzine. They grip like hell.

Thewaylander

Can you link to this? I could do with a new rear mech. CRC only has the XTR, Saint and Zee in shadow+

Chunkers1980

Yeah, doesn't exist yet. Perhaps they missed the R

Chunkers1980

So it does.... Missed that..

bluechair84

nuts, seems they only have them in 10 speed

I don't get the shadow+ stuff. What does it really do? I've never had issues with "keeping the chain under control" with my normal, or standard Shadow mechs.
