New Year, New Gear!

by JesseD

Well, let's hear it!  What upgrades or replacements are we working on?  I'll start.  This year I switched over to Crank Brothers Smarties, Lazer Helmet and finally, FINALLY, got a carbon fork form my ride.  What about everyone else?  OR what is your planned upgrade for next season?

    due to a recent broken elbow it looks like I will be upgrading to a set of flared drop bars, also will be going with the smarties this year instead of shimano's.

      No significant new gear this year, but did a complete rebuild of my bike. Stripped it did a new basecoat/clearcoat paintjob. Capped the paint job with 3M protective shield on the chainstays and under the downtube. Changed the chain and put my improved 'sealed' cable system on the bike too. No races yet, but we're 2 weeks out now from the first I can hit....

        VCRC Pro Stem! I recently was in need of a new stem so I decided to go off the
        beaten path and check out VCRC Performance Upgrades. I was prompted
        by CliffLee's write up about VCRC in November and I decided, why not? Let me say
        for the price I was cautiously optimistic about the quality but was pleasantly surprised
        by how amazing this was. It weighed less than I had expected and is really
        stiff. The price was right on and the shipping was free. Here's what made the
        whole experience perfect: The stem that I had ordered was a 120mm but realized
        that a 110mm felt better. After following their return procedure I was able to
        exchange for the correct size without any hassles, and to top it off all
        communication and correspondence was lightning fast!!! I sent it back they
        received it on a Friday and I had the replacement on the following Wednesday.  They always have deals and promos, infact for less than the price of most stems of the same quality you can get a stem with bar and ti bolt upgrade.  Next is a new frame!!!
