SRAM Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH)

The great thing about SRAM’s UDH (Universal Derailleur Hanger) is, just like the name says, it is universal. That means a spare hanger for your UDH bike, your buddies, and the friends you meet on the trail is all the same. Pick an extra one or two up and you’ll always be ready.

Torch 1.0
Specialized Torch 1.0

The Torch 1.0 is comfortable, stylish (it's offered in 10 colors), and high performance. And it just happens to be inexpensive—even when it’s not on sale. But $90 for a great shoe with BOA closure is a ridiculous deal. Keeping a spare set in your car or to use for indoor riding (so you don’t break down your favorite shoes) is a good idea.

Travel Shoe Dryer
Dry Guy Travel Shoe Dryer

The worst feeling in the world is heading out for a ride, putting on your shoes, and realizing they’re still cold and damp from yesterday’s wet ride. That’s why I’m obsessed with this shoe dryer. It has two small fans that you stick in your shoes to dry them out for the next day. Keeps shoes less smelly over time, too.

Adjustable Weight Dumbbells
Flash Limp Adjustable Weight Dumbbells

As someone who definitely won’t make time to go to the gym and who doesn’t have the space for a full rack of weights or a home gym setup, I love my adjustable weights. It lets me go heavy for legs with things like goblet squats and single-leg deadlifts, but then lighten up for upper body work—all in a compact size that takes up only a couple square feet of space next to the trainer.

This lightweight jacket doesn’t look like much, but it’s one of the comfiest, most versatile jackets I’ve worn in a long time. The Pro Barrier Jacket is stretchy, so you can pull it on over multiple layers, and it has two way zip, which makes access to your jersey pockets super easy mid-ride. Easily packable, it can be jammed into said jersey pockets if temps warm up.

Pressure Washer
Ryobi Pressure Washer
Now 48% Off

When my dad bought this as a Christmas gift for us a couple years ago, I thought it was ridiculous. Who needs a pressure washer outside of the cyclocross pits? Then I realized, I do. Living in a small apartment with no hose hookup means bike washing is tricky.

This feeds out of a water bucket, making it easy to spray off our bikes at the trailhead or in the driveway. Bonus: Also great for cleaning your deck.

I've owned several of these simple bike racks over the years. In fact, I don’t know that I’ve lived in an apartment without one in my entire adult life. This rack is not fancy, but it’s strong and fits virtually any bike. It lets you turn a narrow hallway into a slightly more organized space for bikes, and doubles your open floor space. Key for anyone who believes in the N+1 rule of bike ownership.

Flash Java Kit Camping and Backpacking Stove Cooking System with Silicone French Press Coffee Maker
Jetboil Flash Java Kit Camping and Backpacking Stove Cooking System with Silicone French Press Coffee Maker

You can probably tell from this list that I deeply love cyclocross, and the Jetboil with the coffee maker hook-up is a cyclocross race day essential. It’s ideal for those days when you’re riding to the course with people racing at different times than you, and you know you’ll spend a long day shivering while you cheer.

It’s also great for making coffee at the trailhead after a long mountain bike ride, or on that bikepacking trip you’ve been planning. The Jetboil is the easiest/simplest camp stove out there, and packs up to a small travel-friendly size that makes it easy to bring along for any event.

Hot Laps 5L Hip Pack
Dakine Hot Laps 5L Hip Pack
Now 45% Off

I switched years ago to the Dakine Hot Laps Waistpack, which covers less space than a backpack. Thanks to a built-in water reservoir and hose, pockets on the hip strap, external compression straps, and a bevy of internal and external clips and pockets, I can carry more than enough for a 20-mile-plus mountain bike day or weekend century ride. (Prices vary by color.)

Great for cold-weather road or mountain biking, these have big pockets that fit a phone and a full calf zipper so you can easily adjust knee pads. (Prices vary based on color.)

Despite how much time I spend on my bikes, I put off buying a nice pair of mountain bike sunglasses for at least a year. Instead, I wore cheap plastic ones. The Smith Wildcat, bike-specific glasses that somehow never slip, will slide smoothly over your ears on long, curly, or delicate hair. They’re anti-fog, have oversized coverage to prevent eye watering at high speeds, and come with a clear lens for cloudy days.

I’ve tested probably a dozen wind jackets, and the very simple, very useful Adidas TERREX Multi Wind Jacket is my absolute favorite. It’s extremely thin and takes up little room in my hip pack.

It has a straightforward fit, mesh pits to reduce sweating, and elastic hems and cuffs that won’t roll up.

Mountain Bike Shoes
Pearl izumi Mountain Bike Shoes
Now 25% Off

Whether you’re on a trail, dirt, pavement, or gravel, one thing everyone can agree on is that shoes that loosen while riding are incredibly annoying. Fortunately, the same BOA locking wheel technology once reserved for keeping snowboard boots tight is now available for bike shoes, eliminating both the need to stop and tighten your shoes, and the more serious risk of getting your laces stuck in your gears.

The Pearl Izumi Expedition shoe is designed for both mountain biking and road biking and comes in mens and women’s versions. Sizing is very standard and they’re stiff but comfortable right out of the box.
