Nominations so far:

What appears to be a hybrid tyre
Weird handle bars for people with beards

I think the orsumz bar is pretty low today.

indestructable, cost peanuts and compared to XTR that cost about 100 times as much for losing about the same weight as 4 mouthfuls of water... win every time

Best shifter ever made- combination of Shimano quality and price, and ripped off SRAM feel. Perfection.

Also, what tyres for...

[img] [/img]

Conti Baron- in a class of one, and nyar nyar 650b-havers because you have nothing to compete.

+1 for the marathons, thousands (possibly 10,000+) of miles of puncture free commuting

all of these made big improvements to my enjoyment of riding

the first disc brakes i ever had (and still run on my commuter!!)

the first decent forks i ever had

my first dropper, (still keep it as a backup for whn my posh hydraulic one needs servicing)

minus 1 for those Saint pedals. Mine died in the middle of no where, the internal bits wear out in a terminal way for the pedal. Before that they were great, but even £12 Wellgo V8 copies last more than 6 months.

The single best thing in biking.

The trails. If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't do it.

I had a go on one of these today:

It truly was teh orsumz. A full sus e-bike. Brilliant fun! There was a Fat e-bike too from a different brand but that was less orsumz. IMHO.

Indestructible and they just felt pleasant to use.
A decent, good value, well made, solid, dependable piece of kit.

Worked pretty well too.
