GCN lists every upgrade I would love on my commuter bike
Removed by modDynamo hubs, belt drive, internal gears... I will get a bike with all these beautiful stuff, but it will be really expensive!
Right now I have a traditional city bike with a basic derailleur by shimano and chain. It works, but I have to do regular maintenance and regulations. And I already bent the derailleur a couple of times, it happens so easily!
What stuff and upgrades you would like on your commuter bikes?
I want a carbon fiber or a titanium body MTB with full (front+back) hydraulic suspension, with those fancy Pinion-like gearbox and Kevlar belt. I bet that will be worth ten years worth of my salary.
All of those things you listed would be really nice for sure but I am really happy with my current bike as I have not had it very long anyway. It is a gravel bike with grx components so has some comfort of the tyres, reliable drive train, hydro discs and some nice drop bars for tucking for maximum possible "aero" xD
The main thing I would like currently are some better mud guards. I never had them on my last bike which j commuted on for 7 years and my god does it make a lotnof difference on those rainy days. I just hate how when I'm hopping over pot holes and stuff like that the flex causes some tyre on guard action which is really annoying.
On the whole though I love the bike so I can't complain much!
