What Is The Best Upgrade?
October 28th, 2007 by Guitar TedThe Bike Lab is all about upgrades. You know, anything and everything that makes your bike better. Percieved or real, upgrades make you “faster”, lighter, stronger, or just make you feel better. It’s fun to “tweak out” your ride for what ever reason, and we all do it at one time or another. So, what we want to know is what is the best upgrade? What is one of the first things you look at when you think about making your bicycle a better one?
I was brought up on the “wheel upgrade first” mantra. The biggest difference to your performance was changing out to a better wheel set. While wheels are still obviously a great place to upgrade, it is not necessarily the the best place to upgrade anymore. It all depends on what you ride and where. An upgrade in a suspension fork may be your best bet, or an upgrade in shifters, or a new saddle.
So, let us know what you think is the #1 upgrade for you and your riding style. What makes the biggest difference? (And before anybody else gets started, making yourself better is off limits!)
