The necessity of road bike upgrade + cost-effectiveness ranking must be read before modifying the car! (PART3)

1. Disc - safer is always better

Necessity of upgrade ★★★ Weight reduction (g) 30g~80g+ Price range $60-100
The price is affordable and everyone can afford it. The key is to improve your safety level. Discs are such a reliable existence, and the most important point is that they super improve the appearance.
The disc currently weighs about 96g for Shimano's MT900 140mm, which is very good. The most important thing is that it is very stable and has no quality problems. As for whether ultra-light discs are worth buying, our idea is that in the short term, the quality of ultra-light discs cannot withstand all situations, so this part recommends that if you want safety + weight reduction, it is a good choice to use Shimano and Slink discs.

2. Flywheel - a big weight-reducing player

Necessity of upgrade ★ ★Weight reduction (g) 55g~200g+ Price range ＄70~500
It is recommended that you upgrade the flywheel later. The weight reduction of the flywheel is very good. The flywheel of Shimano DA11-30t is only 223g. I personally recommend that you either go directly to the top level, at least to ensure low chain noise and high chain efficiency; or choose a cheap and durable one. The most important thing is that after a long ride, you can adjust the gear ratio to make your riding experience better.

3. Speed ​​change system - functional improvement

Necessity of upgrade ★ ★ ★Weight reduction (g) 70g~170g+ Price range ＄200~¥900
The speed change upgrade is more about the expansion of functions. If you have a mechanical speed change system, we strongly recommend that you try an electronic speed change. But if you already have an electronic system, the cost performance is relatively low. The most cost-effective speed change level is UT, and the only difference from the top level is weight. The functions of the top button and competition interface have been added, which are indeed very useful in bicycle competition and daily riding.

4. Direct-mount tail hook

Necessity of upgrade★★Weight reduction (g) 10g~20g+Price range ＄20~¥100
You may not understand why you need to change such a small component. Its function is to make the gear shift more accurate and eliminate the possibility of some precision problems, and it is also more convenient to disassemble and install the rear wheel.

5. Rear derailleur guide wheel

Necessity of upgrade★Weight reduction (g) Price range $100~2000
The famous Ceramic speed and absoluteBLACK have brought its price to a luxurious level. The existence of the rear derailleur guide wheel is mainly to improve the efficiency of transmission and provide a little bit of gear shifting stability in terms of use, but I have to say that I don’t need that little bit of improvement in smoothness. What attracts me is the appearance!

6. Bottle Cage

Necessity of Upgrade ★Weight Reduction (g) 30g~70g+ Price Range $10~90
Bottle cage is essential for cycling. Although it can only improve the speed, it has a lot of room for weight reduction, and the cost performance is obvious. In addition, you can choose a matching bottle for better effect!
