As the year comes to a close, we'd like to know what was the one widget you bought this year that you really think is the bee's knees?
It could be a tire, bike, pair of shoes, or anything else.
What was your favorite bike related purchase of 2011?

MRP xcg. Its a chain ring protector that goes between an out board BB cup and the bottom bracket shell. This thing has taken some serious abuse and keeps my XT cranks looking good big ring and all. So simple and so effective.
Also I really like WTBs new all mountain TCS tires with the dual rubber compound there inner peace side wall reinforcement. I run the Mutano raptor 2.4 when its dry out and the 2.3 weirwolf. I am stoked that they are also bringing this technology to 29ers in the weirwolf LT.

My new Manitou fork for my Litespeed MTB. Really scrubs off the harshness of riding over exposed roots plus the lockout is the jazz when I want to get into the big ring up front. Oh, can't forget to include my NR helmet mount....I'm much faster now that I can look way ahead whenever I want.

13-29 cassette for my road bike. I am aging and not getting any younger. And the 12-25 cassette I had was starting to dig into my knees. Now I am able to big-ring most of my ride.

Fizik saddle for my road bike. I spend most of my time on the road bike and this has made a huge difference, as you can imagine.
New 2.3" wide tires on the mountain bike are a close section. As you can imagine, they are very grippy! Also look awesome.

Backcountry Research Awesome Strap....I have the Ragtop, which apparently they have discontinued for 2012. Too bad, I really like having the extra flap covering my tube. They are cheap enough though I might buy a few extra of the new models.

My Haulin Colin trailer I received last week. I live on a island and now I can save money by not having to take the van across on the ferry when I need to pick up larger items, besides, it's a lot more fun to ride!
