tyres would be a huge concern, but i generaly am able to find perfect ones in the bin. saddels are not that big of a concern, greese and lube can be, but there are vegan verisons wildly avilabel, you just have to know which is which and do some resarch. tubes might be, i think most of them are manufactured wiht out animal ingredints beacuse of the thinness of the leather, but some puncture resistant ones might not be. some gloves have leather bits, but those are mostly the full hand MTB kind.
i was under the impression that Sidis used animal dirived glues in them... but that is just something i have heard from freinds.
also as far as green points go i would say that over the life of the cow and in the proccessing of its hide there woudl be lots more damage then that done in the manufactureing of lorcia
