1 - Special turbo tyre
2 - Irony (https://www.notanothercyclingforum.net/acf/pics/devotiontomotion.jpg) to fuel the ride
3 - Vol 9 of The National Encyclopædia, (https://prettygoodbritain.com/encyclopedia.html) a 19th century "Dictionary of Universal Knowledge".

A titanium replacement is in the works.
