I put GP400's (25's) on before the first ride, so I have no idea how bad the Kendra 23's would have been. I do love my Garmin 500, but I think the #1 is the MagicShine. It let me ride so many more hours that otherwise I would not have been comfortable with.

I think Audi is one of the few that's been smart enough to tap the typical joe blow American like that.

A decent wheel set.
I agree with save10. In concept it was a interesting idea. In reality, it sucked. Blackburn should have done a recall. I'm done with them for good.

Believe it or not, a silly little handle bar pouch that has a slot for my iphone (which fits it's big case) - so I can track and see my trail, and then has a deep pocket to hold all kind of other goodies! It was about $10!

I would say saddle but I still am working on replacing mine. So far I would have to say LG gloves, cheap and have significantly helped with hand numbness, which sucked.

A place with a garage to keep it in. It set me back a few bucks, but it was worth it.

For me, it's the XLC Trekking Bar, followed by the M-Wave Double Daytripper panniers for all my grocery hauling needs.

Since it's not terribly important or interesting, normally I wouldn't want to carry out this conversation in the main thread where it began, but since I don't have 50 posts yet, I can't PM you. So I'm just curious, why do you think this is a poor product? What about them sucked?

Fizik Kurve Snake saddle and Fizik carbon Cyrano post. The rails would not fit in my Felt post so had to get the Fizik post and look at it as a one item system. A close second would have to be my Vittoria Corsa Evo CXII's. Best tires in my opinion.
