Not that I'm planning on doing it any time soon since I need to be tight with my budget for in-real-life reasons, but here are some things I would love to get as upgrades or replacements for my bike.
- High end smartwatch with heart rate monitoring and GPS, a cadence sensor, speed sensor, and a power meter. I want to know what zones I'm in whenever I ride, even if it's just inside the subdivision. My past few rides have had faster average speeds so I guess that means I'm getting stronger. I still want to be able to see how my performance is and I think all these sensors can tie in with either a smartwatch or all of them will tie in to my mobile phone.
- A modern, advanced bike computer with GPS. Yeah this serves the same purpose as the smartwatch. I'd rather have a small GPS device so I can go around and not get lost. I don't need to pull my phone out to look at a map. Or I can tie it all with the smart watch and mobile phone so that hopefully the data will be as accurate as possible. I honestly don't know.
- New saddle. A third one basically. My first saddle was too short. The current one I'm using is gel filled and seems okay but aesthetically it doesn't look sleek. So yes, a very shallow reason.
- Cycling shorts with gel padding. I really need these, even in my rides here if I have the wrong shorts on it gets uncomfortable riding around.
- Flared drop bars. I was a noob on the online shopping app I used when I bought parts for my bike. I'm not saying my drop bars aren't good, they're great actually. I do want to have flared bars in the event I finally get to go off road. Then again I can pretend I've got a cyclocross bike instead, except my tires are too wide.
- Fenders. I'm just making my bike heavy but I really like the classic fender look for my bike. Unfortunately because of my 38mm tires I don't think I can fit them on my bike anymore.
I'm just really, really scared of other motorists here because this place is crazy.
Out.
