What were your favourite BMX accessories or add ons BITD?
Spen69:
Quick release brakes when they came out Top stuff. Oh and MKS Graphites were and still are my weapon of choice (well I use KHE Stimulatorz with sealed bearings these days)
Oh, and always wanted an MRD or Mirage brake gaurd but they were expensive so my dad made me one out a tupperware lid - thought I was the fookin man with it :2funny:
Oh, dirt skirts were also cool but we used to stretch a bit of inner-tube over our bearing races. Again I could master the universe and ride off any ramp with them fitted :shocked:

Early on it was foam for Grab On grips and the Haro two finger lever, later on it was grip tape and Sharp lever grips. I used to change grips almost weekly at one point iirc, one of the perks of being sponsored by and working in a bike shop! I used to try out all the new bits and pieces before we put in a big order too so my bike went through various guises of brake guards, number plates, stems, chain rings, pedals, seats and so on!
Still I ended up with a few faithful products that I always went back to, Elina MX Seat, Tuf Neck stem, MX2 Headset, DC1000/900 brakes, Comp 2 front/Comp 3 rear tyres for dirt and Tioga Comp ST for freestyle, AME grips, Suntour XCII Beartrap pedals, Profile cranks and Hutch 2n1 Headlock.

I always wanted one of these MRD guards too.. Andy Preston ran one for a while so I wanted one too!
