I had to go look at my the v-brakes on my Sam to see how the fork
could get in their way. It's the pads, for anyone whi doesn't happen
to have that combo within easy looking distance.

My favorite from the last 35 years? LED lights and good rechargeable
batteries. That combo has made more of a change to my own riding than any
other "thing" I can think of in that time.
I've discovered or tried out some good things in that time that are new to
me, but the lighting change is
I just thought of another one...v-brakes. I love them, they work really
well and I have to say I prefer them over cantis. Paul Components makes
some really nice ones that are easy to setup and look nice, but I have a
set of xt v-brakes on my Hillborne that work great. Only problem I have

The combination of comfortably shaped brake levers (Tektro, Campy, SRAM)
and compact (short, shallow, non-anatomic bend) drop bars with flat ramps.
Clipless pedals are right up there too.

I'm relatively new to cycling (started back in 2008) and luckily I got off
to a good start by focusing on low gearing, big tires, and being
comfortable on the bike. In terms of developments that I like, I'm really
digging the decaleurs that Velo-Orange introduced a couple of years back. I

My favorite? Might be the larger sized frame Surly LHT available with 26"
wheels. Am able to realize what I had been trying to get my bikes to do
back in the mid 1980's. Somewhat wide tires, with long chainstays and drop
bars.
And yes, an Atlantis will do the same thing, but frame sizes above 5
42/52 and 13-23 eh? I recall 44/52 and a 14-18 straight block.
Of course after 30+ years and a relocation, now I'm thinking about
28/44 and a 12-36.

I'm a big fan of those new-fangled road bikes with 36-50 compact cranks,
good tire clearance, and rack/fender eyelets. Which Grant invented. In
1992. Bridgestone XO-1.

Rivendell's new fork, the one with the awesome crown and double eyelet drop
out. It came on my SimpleOne. Amazing!

I know they arent new to the world but after doing MTBing for many years
the riser stem and bar combo were a revelation. The fact that you didnt
need to have your bars "slammed" to ride the acceptable way took a while to
foment in my brain but it has been a comfort revoution.

I use a triple and have often thought of going to a double, but then I get
on a 14% incline and don't feel like mashing up it so I shift to my granny
gear and realize I will always be a triple kind of guy.
I have to say my favorite inventions right now are the great 650b tires
out there. Pari
