Cycling products that changed your cycling life
What products/items have you found that really made a difference in your cycling life? I'm not really talking full bike set ups here, so no "going from a XMart to a Tarmac really made cycling easier!" Nope. Products, items, small details that you didn't realize you were missing until you found them. What do you love? What can't you live without?
A few of mine:
Go Towels.
White lightening chain lube.
Upgraded gloves.

You can have my Brooks saddle when you pry it from my cold, dead crotch.

PowerTap (affectionately known as the suck-o-meter) to remind me to keep on pushing, prevent me from getting lazy or over exerting myself.

Clipless pedals/shoes
well-fitting chamois (bibs or shorts -- prefer bibs but they're not life-altering)
butt'r (but only really matters on longer rides)
I rented some rides on vacation last year and just brought my own shoes/pedals, bibs and chamois butt'r. Everything else about the bikes I rented could be adjusted.
