Is doesn't have to be expensive. It could be a tenner but made your life so much easier.

Mine was some second hand Carbon Tubs for my lads CX bike, the weight difference has gained him an extra lap on riders he used to finish around before.

cycle shorts £9.99 off ebay they are really nice
Slime inner tube £7.49 ..........so far so good, but keep it to yourself

 

[Vantage]

Mine happens to be the most expensive. The Spa frame & forks.
Without those fairly essential bits, I'd have no bike.

probably the piece of rocky road that I bought in the cafe at Corby Glen, it was blooming delicious

Bought a pair of brand new DMT Libra shoes from a mate for £30 , they were too big for him.

I reckon it would have to be the 11-34T cassette (replacing a 11-28T one) together with the required change in rear dérailleur and chain - the new teflon gear cable made things smoother too. All that was very late in the year though. Earlier, a handlebar-mounted phone holder makes navigating with Osmand a pleasure. A cheap little saddlebag for essential tools and spare tube and a lighter lock (as an alternative to my 2.2kg chain) for cafe/pub stops have made life easier too.

I don't seem to have bought much for the bike this year. So I would go for the return ferry tickets from Hull to Rotterdam for a great three day tour with a couple of mates or perhaps the fish and chips in Skegness after my son completed his first 100 mile ride!

Screw Fix No Nonsense Degreaser - 5l for £8.99. The stuff is ace - use it for the chain and cassette, car engine bay, kitchen and bathroom.
