I thought I had come across a thread similar to this before, but I can't really find much info now. I have a Trek 4300 that I use for my XC/trail rides, and as I have mod-initous, I need to play around with it, and make it a better ride.
Tell me what mod(s) have been your favorite that you've done to your bike. What has made the biggest improvement to your rides? What mods have made your trips more fun?? I'm curious to know what you guys think, and maybe myself and others can use your ideas/suggestions as a guide for future improvements.
I'll start off with mine. My favorite upgrade so far (and my only one ) has been getting rid of those damned platform pedals in favor of a nice set of Crank Bros. Egg Beaters. These things have made my rides so much easier, and makes climbing that next big hill a great deal more fun. It took me a few rides with the pedals to realize you're not just pushing down on the pedals - you can pull up on the pedals when your legs start getting sore!!
So throw out your ideas, and let us all know what you think!
