Favorite discontinued cycling product
What's your favorite discontinued cycling product?

Mine might be the 1up USA CPR-A2000 trainer.

I hadn't used mine in a while, but wanted to do a FTP test, so pulled it out of the basement last night. Greased the balls, mounted the bike up, and it's just as smooth and quiet and perfect as it ever was. Just a great product. Light, well-engineered, user-serviceable. I know smart trainers are all the rage, and surely it didn't make sense to continue it... but boy, it is a great trainer.

Same trainer. Mine is second hand. Mine has a grove on the roller from the tire wearing it down. I reached out to the company and they no longer make parts either. I liked the simplicity of the trainer. Not everything needs to be fancy electronics. Funny thing is I use it over my other trainer that is electronic. I think as I get old I just want things simple.

The Girvin FlexStem.

No, seriously, how about Clif Shots? Not necessarily a cycling product, but the double espresso was my go to for years. Nothing currently on the market comes close. Thanks, Mondelez.

Pretty much everything I have any interest in cycling related is now discontinued. Sigh.

Most comfortable shoe I've ever used and I buy as many as pop up on ebay in my size.

If you want a basic computer with altitude this one is quite good: https://www.ebay.com/itm/255490452149

Same here...
I love the very first pair of MTB shorts I bought when I got back into cycling. Pearl Izumi baggy cargo shorts and long discontinued.
Wasn't very hopeful, but I found some on eBay in almost new condition.
