I've completely fallen in love with my Silvio 1.5, so of course, I'm upgrading.
Here's the spec we've got so far, but I need your advice. What bang-for-the-buck choices am I missing? Are disk brakes worth it? Is SRAM the brand to go with for most of this? PS I find the ratchet noise on my existing Silvio wheel pretty annoying.
I'm a 30 miles at a time rider, don't want flats, I'm not going to race, but I sure like feeling like the bike is working with me, not against me. 140 pounds, 5' 7.6".
I'm fascinated by all the stuff you guys are playing with, interested in electric shifters or cool wheels from eBay, etc.
So, have at it. What would you consider adding or replacing?
THANKS
