that's the best single product I ever owned.

but if you want some other cool bits:

Bulldog calipers: they work, end of
ACS Boa calipers: they work, end of
ACS locking levers off of a disability walker
48's strong and stiff
shin pads: obvious really.
helmet: ditto.
skyway TA frame, actually rides really nice even now....would be better with a proper wheel up front instead of that green tuff.
ACS potts mod bolt, comes with lots of bits and pieces, just the job.

but my tyres are the dogs danglies, and to think i nearly binned them for some fancy "named" tyres that cost twice the money.

My fave item is probably my unstamped 1979 mongoose stainless steel bars - why ? because i never thought i'd see a set let alone own an NOS set with the price sticker still on ! Got 2 stamped sets which i love but these fellas are the kiddy.

For the time G-Sport homer Hubs, had nothing but trouble with bent axles in the mid 90's but the G-Sport hubs were bomb proof you could do anything with them without fear of bending your axles and they spun so well.

My old S&M dirtbike used to have a set of TNT hubs on.....the canines testicles. Apparently there were only a few sets in the country.(dunno if that is true) Looked great and ran ace. I sold them in a mad moment to a chap for a set of sealed wheels and some cash.....should have kept them, should have kept them. :Aresehole:
