Just done my second season on a specialized allez. For the season just gone I upgraded the wheels and tires, to kysirium equips and continental gp4000 tires this made a huge differnence, especially on the climbs. I have trained and raced on this bike for 2 seasons now meaning the sora chainset and casset are now in need of replacing, the bottom bracket has also developped a slight creak. Cyclist friends have said to upgrade the entire groupset to ultegra (approx £600). Saying that the frame is relativly stiff and so with the upgraded wheels and groupset I would have a decent bike to race on for another season. Triathletes have said to get a TT bike. Any one else got some pearls of wisdom? |

I'm in exactly the same possition, as the first poster. Just done my second season on a specialized allez. For this season just finished I upgraded the wheels and tires. To kysirium equips and continental gp4000 tires this made a huge differnence, especially on the climbs. The sora chainset and casset are now in need of replacing, along with the bottom bracket. Cyclist friends have said to upgrade the entire groupset to ultegra (approx £600) Triathletes have said to get a new bike. I can just about the £600 for the upgrade but a new bike seams a bit out of reach just now. Any one else got some pearls of wisdom? | |
