Mountain Bike Upgrade

I would add a personalized license plate, that would make you go faster and look way cooler than anyone else.

Didn't read the thread but I used to have cheap ass Acera (or less) Shimano components. I upgraded everything on this aluminum bike. The biggest difference was fast tires. I upgraded all the components to SLX. It was a very very small difference. Felt nicer and weighed a pound or two less but didn't translate into speed.

Oh yeah. I bought a stiff fork and replaced the suspension fork. Then lowered the handlebars a lot so I am more aero.

Again, it's not going to make enough of a difference for him to notice. I've thrown lightweight parts at many bikes over the years. The thing holding me back is me.

It's not about the bike.

Great advice! I will remember this as I would like to start riding again.

First ride of the season today. It was a quick one just to my friends and back but it was still lovely. Steel hybrid still rides like a dream.

Bikes!

Good ole So Cal, rides are year round, minus rain only for me.

Yah but you are stuck in SoCal. You don't have the greatest city in the world to live next to
