what's the best bike part or accessory you've ever used?

Neon green tri spok. I literally have to carry around a stick to beat back all the art school chicks who be jumping my jock.

Brooks pro for saddle-bar height discrepancy’s
SIDI shoes

Salsa Delgado Cross rims. Trail-tastic.

It’s early on in my relationship, but I think the SRAM brifters I just got might be the most comfortable bike component I’ve used.

what kind?

miche primato hubs…not too spendy, but fucking quality.

Well, the ergonomics and performance is the same between all three (Rival, Force and Red), the only difference is materials used to decrease weight. Anyway, it’s Rival. I picked up shifters/derailers/brakes for $200 recently.
