Moolz Posted October 20, 2020 Share I think most of us here are in the same position. I bought a Trek X-Caliber 9 a few weeks back and already upgraded the brakes. My sons Titan 24" has a 26" Fox 32 fork, hydraulic brakes, tubeless, and a bunch of carbon bits. The upgraded bits may be worth as much as the bike. For me - its the excitement of researching and finding the right parts that will fit - and then actually seeing if I agree with the countless reviews I would have watched.

WrightJnr Posted October 20, 2020 Share I have a problem with tools. Just bought a Park derailleur hanger alignment tool. I doubt it will get used much. Same with buying their big torque wrench. Only place I’ve used it so far was on a crank bolt that needed 60nm And then alllll the other tools. Specific sets for specific bolts for example. It never ends.I have same problem. Have toolbox / roller cab a professional artisan would be proud of! Something out of a Snap-On, BluePoint, Knipex, ParkTool, Beta Catalog... And don’t even get me started on my 4 torque wrenches or Mitutoyo precision measurement instruments! And now my new addiction to Makita LXT tools.. Oh dear.

I find this joy of upgrading the kids bikes aswell. They dont care much, but it makes me believe we bonding when we fitting the items or when I end up swearing and sweating whilst trying to fit it Moolz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR ◣◢ Posted October 20, 2020 Share Is changing out your carbon headsets spacers for plain black alu spacers an upgrade (because it now matches your stem) or a downgrade (because it is no longer carbon)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s14phoenix Posted October 20, 2020 Share Is changing out your carbon headsets spacers for plain black alu spacers an upgrade (because it now matches your stem) or a downgrade (because it is no longer carbon)?
