Liked: Tubus Cosmo rear rack - exquisite! great design, extremely tough and good looking. A great bike deserves a great rack like this.

Supernova e3 "glare free" dynamo light - very good road illumination, long stand light duration, good stand light brightness, extremely durable and upgradeable as time goes on. A high grade dynamo light, worth the price of entry.

Supernova e3 rear dynamo light - good illumination, long stand light duration. Stand light could be a bit brighter but it isn't anemic, the light unit is also very small and light.

The Supernova lights are gorgeous. That can be a good or a bad thing depending on your requirements for stealth, but they are extremely well crafted all around.

Nokian W240 700x40c studded winter tires - very good grip overall, and I think the road chatter and rolling resistance are quite fine on these.

Velo Orange model 8 leather saddle - wide saddle for upright city / touring bikes. I find the quality on par with brooks, the rails are longer for more adjustment too.

Tried: Axiom bamboo fenders - came with screws missing on the fenders themselves, front fender has a small crack already. Ordered these for myself through my own distributor at cost, and they wouldn't be a good deal at half cost

SRAM I-Motion 9 - The first one I ordered was smashed and dented right out of the unmarked cardboard box it came in. The second unit had constant play in the rear hub that was not removable with adjustment (defective?). sounds like an old Sturmey Archer. MSRP is almost twice that of an Alfine here in Canada, performance is no better. Returned this and never looked back. This should be a product of shame for SRAM, IMO.

2010 was a good year for trying out some pricey accessories

Not all accessories are worth being pricey though. The aforementioned Axiom bamboo fenders and the SRAM I-Motion 9 are just not worth anywhere near their asking prices.
