30" onza carbon raisers.

All the rebranded thin foam grips.

The snail cam system.

Hope mono trials (just).

Profile hubs.

Deng frames in general.

Echo external BB's

Monty stem (the carbon effect one).

American classic front hub.

Azonic X pedals are amazing. So long as you replace the pins with longer ones.

ENO freewheel.

Foam Grips. (This is easily the component where I don't think about buying anything different).

Try-All tyres. (The grip on these are instantly recogniseable over Creepies or Monty's)

Kenda DH tube. (I will always run one of these tubes, I'm not a super low pressure person, but it gives me massive confidence when riding having one of these tubes).

Onza frames (On my Limey; decent chain tension, perfect geo, disc and 4 bolt, in built booster, intergrated brake mounts), just perfect.

Chris King hub - 6 years, sold, still going

Try-all cranks - 2.5 years, sold, still going

Hope Mini - 2 years, boxed now

Hope Mono Trial (06 silver version) - 2.5 years, still using

Magura's - seriously, they just last forever, with minimal maintenance.

KMC kool chains - as above

Heatsink white pads - lots of material, good wear rate, best overall pad I've used to date

Try-all front tyres - as above, best grip

Pro 2.

My rear maggy.

My front hope.

Middleburn cranks.

Trialtech bars.

Z610 Chain.

Rubber Queen rear tyre.

Wellgo MG-1 pedals.

Most of my bike I suppose. :P (Theres a few things I'd never own again though).

I'd also like to add my Echo Lite 07 frame (I though it rode slightly nice than the 08 Disc), my old Pace XC forks, they were amazing, all anyone could ever say was, "won't they snap?" "arn't they really flexy?", they were neither.

Does my adapter on my 06 Lite count? That was by far the stiffest mount/brake system I ever had, I put so much thought into it, then I got my 08 Lite and it was a much nicer bike all round, but the mount/rear wheel wasn't as stiff. :(

Also, my new Heatsink Yellows that just came in the post this morning, how are they so good? They're not even worn in to the camber of the rim yet so the hold isn't amazing, it slipped once in the first 5 minutes of riding, but the bite and the noise is daft!

Another vote for Middleburns, been using them for 6 years now (christ, is it that long!), and I think I'm right in saying I'm only on my 2nd pair. (1st set got stolen)

Again, Phatpads - used them for over 3 years, never let me down, never want to change. :)

MG-1 pedals are also pretty shit hot, just look at the amount of companies rebranding them :lol:

DX32's have always been my rim of choice, been in production for donkeys years, and still excellent rims.

Components Im Thoroughly Pleased With:

Middleburn RS7 Cranks

Hope ProII Trials Hub

Phase Frame

Plazmatic CRM Pads

Diamond Back Longneck Grips

Canondale Fatty Forks

Im pleased with all those products because of how well they have lasted me over the years, how they have withstood abuse, and How the feel.

Most of the products ive been using for well over 5 years (fattys 9 years, Middleburns 8, DB grips 6ect) and they have never failed me, broken or stopped functioning 100% of the time.

07 Zoo forks Magura version - Mine went through sevral top riders before me getting them, lasted me a good 8 months easy, took constant front wheel moves, there dead now but wouldn't hesitate to purchase more.

04 Zoo bars - Nothing even comes close.

04 Magura's - These things are a god send, if i couldn't get hold of these anymore, I don't think i'd be riding trials, because the new shape one's just don't work or crack in a few days worth of riding.

Alex DX32 and Ronnie rims - These truly are the ultimate rims for brakeing performece, i havn't found a pad yet that doesn't work on a grind on these rims.

Old Style Zoo pads - For a smooth rim, nothing comes close.

Phat pads in cnc - The day i wen't to these pads for a grind, everything became so much easier to do with no worys of brake slipping.

Hope pro II - Had to be my favourite out of the freehubs I used, never had any problem with mine in 12 months.

4 Year old ACS claws freewheel - Things a god send, slight modification when i brought it, havnt touched it since. Things still on my bike now going strong.

Echo External BB's - These things really are bomb proof, I'm sure mines about 6th hand and the thing still feels super stiff, why these ever stopped being produced is beyond me.

Shimano Sora rear mech - I swear down, this thing has never given me shit, i've landed on rails on it, twated it on walls and the thing is just bomb proof, couldn't ask for more perfect chain tension either.

Thinks thats it for now.
