| Member 587 | Subject: RE: poll: if you had $200, what would you upgrade on your bike!? Did you want to include a poll w/ this post? The only thing I would like for the bike is a power meter. |

Member 1748 Exton, PA | Subject: RE: poll: if you had $200, what would you upgrade on your bike!? None, I think I'm done with cheap upgrades. Next upgrade I would want is a power meter, that's not happening for $200. If I could get a 60mm deep front wheel I would do that, but that's probably not happening for $200 either. |

| 785 Across the river from Memphis, Tennessee | Subject: RE: poll: if you had $200, what would you upgrade on your bike!? I would probably spring for aero spokes on my front wheel and a cover for the rear. |

| 318 Sarasota, Florida | Subject: RE: poll: if you had $200, what would you upgrade on your bike!? How about a 50t chainwheel for my mountain bike and a pair of slicks?  |

Regular 585 Pueblo, Colorado | Subject: RE: poll: if you had $200, what would you upgrade on your bike!? When I had $200, I upgraded the seat (Cobb Plus 2 saddle). Other upgrades for $200 or less included a Giro Attack Shield Helmet, an x-lab torpedo hydration system, and most recently a pair of Specialized Expert Road shoes. |

| 137 Birmingham, Alabama | Subject: RE: poll: if you had $200, what would you upgrade on your bike!? Since I paid $30 for my sleek Huffy from the mid 90s, I'd put it into the "buy a better bike fund". |

Pro 6520 Bellingham, WA | Subject: RE: poll: if you had $200, what would you upgrade on your bike!? I just spent about $200 replacing my old Cat-eye double wireless with a Garmin 500. The Cat-eye was on it's last legs and so far the Garmin has been great. I also got the speed sensors that wrap around the hub. No more magnets and super easy to swap onto other wheels. |

Expert 3476 Middle River, Maryland Bronze member | Subject: RE: poll: if you had $200, what would you upgrade on your bike!? I don't know if this constitutes an upgrade, but my cassette and chain, shoes, and FD all could use replacing soon. :-/ |

Pro 6005 Camp Hill, Pennsylvania | Subject: RE: poll: if you had $200, what would you upgrade on your bike!? Me? The fit to the one we came up with last year on the Guru Fit System. It's a more aggressive set up than I used the last few seasons with an 81 degree effective seat tube angle, and lower bars. What should someone else do? It depends on what they're currently riding. Possibly...

| Subject: RE: poll: if you had $200, what would you upgrade on your bike!? I could probably list a bunch of things that I could use the money on to replace things that will eventually wear (chains, brake pads, cables, housings, tires, etc) but that wouldn't really be an upgrade. So with $200 I'd probably invest in some Specialized Turbo Cottons. I'm still on Continental GP4000S, and since the Cotton's are about 2x the price I just haven't gotten around to making the switch yet. I will eventually once my current GP4000S on my race wheels wear enough, and finding $200 in my pocket would certainly help. |

The market is very competitive right now, prices are dropping so the secondary market is going down as well. You can buy new PM's for $500 right now. |

| 1055 | Subject: RE: poll: if you had $200, what would you upgrade on your bike!? Hmm, looks like a new crankset would run me about $200. My 50/34 starts to spin out a bit too soon for my tastes. Though the cheaper route might just be to run a smaller range cassette. |

Veteran 1900 Southampton, Ontario | Subject: RE: poll: if you had $200, what would you upgrade on your bike!? tri bike needs a new chain, mountain bike needs a new middle ring and possibly a bottom bracket. I would love to get a carbon seat post on the MTB as well. - I think I am over my $200! |
