Even if it’s not expensive, Is there a high quality item every serious enthusiast owns?

Or maybe it’s a highly prized holy grail item you’d give your right arm for.

Is there something you’ve had an eye on for a while and you’re just waiting for an excuse to treat yourself?

    WTF, first I’m hearing of this. Sounds really expensive. Is this a road bike thing? Sounds like a road bike thing, I can’t imagine the mountain bikers wanting something like that.

      I have it on my road bike, but they also have it for mountain bikes.

      In addition to shifting, you can even get electronically actuated dropper seat posts these days :)

        Oh wow, when I was still biking actively, dropper seat posts were only becoming mainstream; shows you how long I’ve not ridden. And now there are electronic ones!

      It’s becoming pretty standard on the ‘mid tier’ specced mountain bikes. Anything with sram axs in the name. With that said the mid tier for mountain bikes jumped from 3-4k to 5-6k usd over the past few years.
