One thing that will always be a constant.
 

Regardless of bike, there is usually one thing that you won't venture away from, what is it?

For all of the stuff I change between the only brand I really don't wonder away from and have no desire to either is E.Thirteen Every bike I have had since 2003 has had an Evil/E13 supercharger on it. The other thing here is a Thomson Elite Seat post.

8 speed. Always.


Except the road bike, of course.

Steel.

Preferably Reynolds.

Probably an RST fork. Another seems to be FSA cranks. I like other brands but I can never seem to get past the solid, rock-bottom value that they are.

Steel!

Oh, but not high tensile steel. Or any other steel which is pretty much a recycled washing machine.

Nice steel, y'know?

Im having a hell of a time letting coil springs go.

Oh right. Flat pedals. Sticking with em until i die i think.

Avid Juicy

Odessey Twisted Platforms (alloy)

XO trigger and derailleur

ODI Lock-on Grips.

SRAM Gold-link chain connector


The rest, I'm not fussed...

.

My Ti frame. 10 years and still going.

I've been happy with Shimano Hollowtech II cranksets, and Hope Pro II hubs. As long as the land of milk and honey delivereth, I'll be loving Kenda tires. WTB Rocket V saddles have been great for the last couple-3 yrs.

The biggest thing though has to be the HT2 crankset.



Edit: Scratch all that crap...the one thing that will always be a constant is that I'll break crap. :lol:

so far, only thing thats constant,

I AIN"T PAYING RETAIL!

;)

I love, love, love the Shimano XTR (960) cranks I have and can't see myself moving away from anything similar (Hollowtech II as Chelboed stated).

My other constant is that I'll always be a chicken-**** clumsy hack.

My superior physical conditioning. Oh, and my jerky attitude.

Lock on grips.

my cyclometer.

it's the only thing i could think of...

Injured shins.

The only thing constant across my bikes are the peadles/peddles/paddles/petals/pedals

giro helmets, gotta love the roclock

lock on grips (odi) and extermal bb (at least on my good bikes)

there's alot of other stuff I like, ie fox, juicys, sram shifters, mavic, but i wouldn't say i'd never ride somthin else

oh how bout 6 bolt rotors, boo down with centerlock

Pneumatic tires.

SRAM powerlink.

in almost 20 years.. not much.

in the last 15.. grip shift, bolt on skewers, something anodized, and except for cassettes.. as few shimano parts as possible.

ATAC pedals, thomson seatpost, wtb saddle, sram cassette- RD- and chain, race face cranks, gripshift. Everything else is negotiable.

XTR (when I can afford it) or XT, always.

I dont think I'll ever leave sram.

yeah dude, sram has impressed me everytime i've used something with thier logo on it.... i cant say the same for shimano, infact i've been disappointed more times than impressed.

I've been really impressed with X.0 shifters, as they're better than anything I've ever used from Shimano, so I'll probably always use SRAM shifters/RD. And I'll never go to 29ers (I'm too short, and wouldn't want to give up the flickability anyway), so I guess 26 inch wheels will be a constant for me (though I'd gladly trade my 26 DJ for a 24). I doubt I'll ever move away from riser bars, even if flat bars make a comeback. And Fox helmets...best fitting lid I've ever worn.
