Sorry about the audio on this one-editing from the road and the music mix is a little too hot 😅 Anyway... what's the best upgrade YOU made to your bike?

@Cathy_MidwestHome_Hens 2 года назад

If that eating disorder is addressed and exercise is added, body fat will drop. This will reduce weight and the co-morbidities associated with excess body fat, such as type 2 diabetes.

I cant say enough about the garmin Varia...it changed my life. I do not exaggerate. its made ridding so much more relaxing. I can actually take the road on remote country road and enjoy the views and chill... I dont have to ride on the side In case I didnt rubber neck enough or hear the speeding angry f250 super duty flying at me . on fast downhills when wind noise makes it impossible to hear cars at all io can rest easy knowing I can take that extra 2-3 ' of road to take the turn with better angle and not worry im steeping out Ito a car trying to pass me. it will give you false positives ( will beep but no car back there) sometimes, rare but it does, but it will NEVER give you a false negative ( a car passes you and it didnt alert you) no car has ever passed me that I didnt get alert for. its solid and you can count on it. ive given two as b day presents to fiends .

The one upgrade I will make when I get my next bike with Ultegra Di2 is the rotors. I like the look of the Dura Ace rotors much better, having those "fins" in black. 100% vanity and looks, that's all

@MitchBoyer 2 года назад

Ive thought about the exact same thing 😅 the black rotors are 🔥

@jsasa5668 2 года назад

@@MitchBoyer I like the last model best actually. IF you can find them, I think they look great. You can always keep the ones you have now whenever these ones need replacing or for other bike builds, or you can sell them. It’s not a super expensive upgrade that can make the bike look noticeably different actually. Not like wheels, but character of the wheels/bike in general imo

@@MitchBoyer I love my fiz'ik shoes, so maybe they've got something going on with ergonomics. The name fits, right? I've been Selle Italia Flight user for decades. They're very good, Bontrager- not good! The UCI Trade Team sponsor shop says they get more fiz'ik saddles replaced than any other brand, but butts are very different and Becky is a bit of a Selle Italia fanchick. New saddle isn't a priority right now for me, but I'm always interested in such things.

@jsasa5668 2 года назад

I tried the Garmin Varia on a Synapse SmartSense and I can't live without it.

@GeirEivindMork Месяц назад

when I bought my current main bike, it came with Fizik Antares R1 Versus EVO. It made every seat I had prior feel meh. So when I got another bike, I got a similar seat, the Fizik Antares R3 Versus EVO. Was cheaper than the r1 almost exactly the same except alu rails and not carbon and a slight difference in shape. So when I got a third bike, I got a third versus evo. So. seats matter. My other major upgrade to my bmc roadmachine was 58mm wheels. with chris king hubs. damn. that is some awesome wheels. The original owner of the bike only rode it 400km, but he had upgraded it to di2, so those are the three non-factory things I love with my roadmachine. ;)

@rileynicholson2322 День назад

Agree that saddle should be a number 1 upgrade. Stock saddles are a gamble for most people and you simply won't be able to put out power or put in the training hours if you're suffering in the saddle. I made the mistake of buying a saddle online based partly on looks and it's now at the top of my upgrade list. Will definitely be trying out several at my local bike shop before shelling out for the next one.

@simonverrill 2 года назад

I’m on my second saddle in under a year and I’m still not happy. My rear still ain’t happy, so your recommendation is seeming mighty tempting. Nice one mitch

@jsasa5668 2 года назад

I currently have the Enve Road stem and Compact bar. Love them. For the next bike I have been thinking about the Enve aero stem but I feel that unless I slam it (which I don't for fit reasons) it looks huge. Would you say so? Also, do you have it at 12.5 angle or did you use a shim to make it 7 degree? It looks amazing

@MitchBoyer 2 года назад

I'm using -12°/ +2.5mm shim. It's night to have that little extra bit of customization. It's not super big (much smaller than the ENVE road stem), but it is a bit bigger than most other stems.

@jamesengelsma3 2 года назад

Great video! Do you have any recommendations for a go pro bike mount? Are you able to mount one below your wahoo element bolt?

@MitchBoyer 2 года назад

@francoisalba3441 Год назад

Hey Mitch, thanks for the video, I have three same bike and planning on upgrading the wheel, tyres and saddle. - Wheel, which one did you for standard or ceramic? 12mm or 15mm? - Saddle, which length did you go for and why, 139mm or 149mm? - Tyres, which one do you recommend to go with three scribble wheels? Thanks Mitch.

@MitchBoyer Год назад

I have the 139mm saddle because my sit bones are pretty narrow--definitely recommend getting measured or trying a few saddles out before purchasing one. My Scribe wheels have the race bearings--at the time I bought them, Scribe did not offer ceramic bearings For the axel size--you'll have to check your bike's specs. Our axels might be a different size. Tires: I've tried the Michelin Power Cup, The Schwalbe Pro One and the Vitoria Cora N.Ext. The Michelin's were the fastest, the Schwalbe's have the best grip imo, and the Vitoria's last the longest. If longevity is your goal, get the Vitorias, if speed is all you care about, the Michelins, if you want soemthign in the middle, but still very good: the Schwalbes. Hope that helps!

@robertmills6772 5 месяцев назад

I've said before that my best bike upgrade was my bike fit. However, outside of that, my saddle. After trying 5 or 6 different saddles, I found one that finally works. And when I mean works, I mean the pain associated with poor fitting saddles has been eliminated. The cost? Does it really matter?
