What is something really stupid you purchased that turned out far better than expected?

I bought a piece of 1.5 inch stiff foam to try to fix a sag in a bed. It didn't work but having that thick piece of solid foam around has been a life saver.

Need something flat to put a laptop on? Throw it on the foam. Going to be doing something that requires you to be on your knees for a while? Get the foam!

It went from stupid purchase to something I'd gladly replace if it broke.

Would you still recommend the sherman s? I'll be upgrading my S18 at some point and am scoping out options. City riding only

I would, for riding like a mercedes, it's amazing built quality and riding aesthetic. Have you tried it ?

I haven't tried it but I'll see if someone at the local ride group has one I can try. Thanks
