My MTB Wish List (On-Bike Accessories)

Here are some of the items I am considering purchasing and I have put on my wish list.....






Specialised P2 Overendz Bar Ends








Lizard Skin Frame Protection Patches
Cateyes LD610 LED white lens
Continental Vapour Tyre (Front)

Continental Vertical Tyre (Rear)
Topeak Two Timer CO2 Inflator
Hope Bar End Plugs











Electron Terra 2 Front Lights

Bar ends have been under consideration for a little while. This is mainly due to options related to comfort of my left hand and wrist, which occasionally becomes numb on longer rides. Aside from giving different hand position options whilst riding, it should make longer and bigger out of the saddle climbs easier. The reason I am considering the Specialised P2's is due to style, reviews, and quality, all for less than £20.
Hope bar-end plugs are a little indulgent, but look fantastic and perform really well. Just hard justifying the £20 expenditure.
I am a big fan of Continental tyres, and having looked at a number of reviews, these two models are fantastic value for money, but more importantly give great all round performance.
Cateyes light choice for me is mainly down to performance and reliability, as I have a Cateye front light that performs very well. Additionally I like the style and design of this rear light model, for a great price of less than £17.
Frame protection patches are a cheap, simple and essential purchase to ensure that my frame remains in good condition. Lizard Skin appears to be a higher quality and designed for purpose.
Upgrading my existing Topeak mini pump to model which incorporates CO2, is an intention if and when I do more MTB events. Purely due to convenience and quickness.
Finally winter lights would be the Electron Terra 2's. This is due to three factors - price (less than £100), style and reviews
