So the idea of "buy it for life" is to buy items that are durable and last for a long time, things you could buy once and have your whole life, which can save money and be good for the environment

What are some of the top items you recommend for this?

Carbon fiber repair has been around as long as carbon fiber has. It's not some new exotic material that nobody knows how to work with.

There are tons of people all around the world riding carbon bikes for years on end without issue.

There are also people, like me, that have had aluminum and steel bikes fail in various ways.

Ultimately it comes down to the quality of the the bike overall, not the material it's made of.
