if 'faster' means faster roadie times:

 

- the upgrade from my pink hypermarket invader to my cro-moly bike

- the upgrade from the cro-moly bike to a roadie-bike

- the upgrade from flat pedals to cleats on the roadie-bike

 

if 'faster' means more control on singletrack:

- the hardtail's fork upgrade to a rockshock sid :clap:

Wheel upgrades, more aero bike, lighter componments will help to make you go faster, but not FASTER. That is my personal experience :rolleyes:

 

That's pretty much what I have discovered :thumbup:

 

Guess I'll have to resort to Bob's stuff :(

A good wheel set will make you go faster.

If it is lighter it brings down the weight of your bike, and considering that it is rolling weight it reduces the strain even more, less pedaling faster....

When I was 17 I had a skateboard. When I turned 18 I bought a car. I cut down my traveling time by 90%

 

...oh! you mean for a bicycle...

 

went from Maxxis Minion DHs to Geax AKAs on my 4X bike... very noticible rolling resistance improvement.
