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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
