Had mine since 2007, but +1 on the Tubus Cosmo rack.
New things I tried and liked this year? Hmmm...
- Continental Grand-Prix 4-Season tires. Liked them so much in 28mm on the commuter, I replaced the 25mm ones on all my bikes with them.
- Ortlieb Sport Packer Plus panniers
- Arkel "The Shopper" grocery panniers
- Selle Italia SLK Gel Flow saddle
- MagicShine head and taillights, (despite the recall on the battery)
- DiNotte 300R taillight
- Endura Thermolite bib tights--great for 'tween seasons. Not sweaty in the 50s, yet still warm in the upper 20s.
- Endura FS260 Arm and Kneewarmers. Warm, stay up, and lotsa reflective bits.
- Steel. Bought a secondhand Reynolds 853 frame.
- Titanium. Bought a secondhand Litespeed.
- Pitlocks
Things I didn't care for:
- Endura Stealth Lite bib tights. Billed as waterproof, not even water resistant. Includes the replacement pair sent under warranty.
Huh. Can't think of anything else.
