Always see lots of posts about the best bang for buck upgrades be it a power meter, aero wheels or a years sub to TrainerRoad.
How about the most pointless upgrade you’ve done?
I’ll start with I just saved ~6 grams with ti water bottle bolts! They are very cool, very 90s looking oil coloured but I’d save more weight cutting my hair!
Guilty of going full weight weenie on my Colnago Tecnos build (2000 steel frame) - carbon cages, ti bottle cage bolts, ti headset bolt, 135g Selle Italia saddle, ti skewers; however…it came out to 18.4 lbs, exact same weight as my ti/carbon CT1, so there’s that
We are all probably guilty of something like this at some point…
I think the most pointless upgrade I’ve ever seen – and only installed once – is the SILCA ‘speed shield’ that comes with their tubeless valves. It is supposed to make your valve more aero. Wow.
