Neoprene thermal socks. I got the blue seventy and even use them hiking in sandals when going to be doing lots of creek crossings. Thermal head gear is going to be useful here in WI as open water is gonna be my only water source.

Garmin Varia.

A pretty basic one: indoor trainer took me 3 years to bite the bullet. I went from surviving the ride (then dying on the run) to racing the bike (then surviving on the run).

A pool. Just ordered an above ground to tether swim.

+1 to the Garmin Varia. Di2 is the another one for me.

Thinking this today! I’ve been using mine for a few weeks, and it is so nice to have it.

Ooh. Masterlink pliers are something I forgot. Def a good buy.

Alternatively, a race belt is something I have had forever and forgetting it is one of the worst things ever. I should prolly buy a second one and add that to this list.

I need to do this. Half the fluorescent tubes in mine have died anyway.

A power meter and latex tubes

Insulated water bottles.

Blower fan for indoor trainer.

Kool stop bead jack (those darn Jet+ wheels on new Conti gp4k tires are a hard combo to mount by hand and same with trainer tires on any rim).

Bike fit.

ABarnes has made my tri bike so much more comfortable (and eyeball aero), it’s ridiculous

A power meter and a bike computer. Both terribly worth it!

Elastic shoe lace w the push clamp. Race belts are a pain and move all over. Shoelace is so light u don’t even notice it

Power meters. Was in triathlon for like 8 years before buying one. Not sure how I trained without one!

.. in random order: KoolStop Salmon Dura Type 2 brake pads .. JagWire Elite Links .. Token Fusion BB .. Syntace Force Stem .. [most of the other parts luckily found the way to me short after they were just available] ..

Best thing I did was cut wires and bypass ballast in my two basement lights and changed to LED. I guess now is the best time to work on the garage lights! Much better and saves energy!

complete flat/repair kits for each bike (i have 3 outdoor bikes). not having this take up pocket space and/or not having to remember to move stuff to the bike i'm riding makes a big difference day after day.

Definately the Vasa ergometer. It is no more tedious than swimming in a pool and a hundred times more convenient. You never miss workouts and never had to walk up and see the "Pool is closed for chemical imbalance" sign after you changed over at lunch and wasted time.

Warm winter shoes are a good thing, too.

And any kind of clever bike tool that you did not know existed until someone showed you (others have mentioned the chain link pliers--maybe the best tool ever.) like a rotor tuning fork and the the little brake tool that pulls the cable tight with one hand so you can tighten the bolt with the other.
