Choosing the right bicycle parts for your bike?

Choosing the right parts for your bike is all about compatibility and suitability. Depending on the desired outcome, you need consider at least some of the following before choosing new parts for your bike.

Are you upgrading existing components to improve functionality?
Are you looking for performance improvements?
Are you trying to reduce the weight of your bike?
Are you looking for more comfort?
Do you want to go faster?
Are you repairing or replacing damaged parts?
Do you want to use the same brand?
Does styling, looks and colour matter?
Are you performing general maintenance on your bike?
What is your budget?

Obviously not all of these will be relevant every time you are looking to replace a part on your bike and if in doubt drop into one of our stores or give us a call if you need help or advice before making a decision. We are here to help. .

Bicycle parts to improve, performance and riding comfort with bicycle accessories

Performance upgrades and improving rider comfort make up a large percentage of bicycle part sales. The most common performance upgrades are frames, wheels, tyres and groupsets . Upgrading these parts can dramatically improve speed and stability, reduce weight, increase rider comfort, provide smoother gear shifting and improve braking performance. Other parts that can increase rider comfort are stems and handlebars and handlebar tape .

Bicycle parts for safer cycling

Frames, wheels, tyres and brakes are the bicycle parts that most contribute to safer cycling. They can improve the bikes overall stability, grip on different surfaces and in varying weather conditions and enhance stopping power. Naturally these are not the only parts that can contribute to safer riding but they are the main ones. Other bike parts that contribute to safe cycling are the items that need to be replaced at regular intervals and during servicing.

Maintaining and repairing your bike

Gear and brake cables , chains and cassettes, grips and handlebar tape, brake pads and tyres should all be replaced at regular intervals; this is usually done as part of your bikes yearly servicing plan and will keep your bike running like the day you rode it off the showroom floor all year round.

Many cyclists tend to replace these bicycle parts when they break or stop working altogether with the idea that they are getting every last bit of use out of them but this is a false economy as worn parts tend to wear out the other parts around them faster as well.

Consider the following example. Your road bike missed it’s 6 month service where you normally have your brake pads replaced. The pads were damaged at the time but you did not notice. Over the next couple of months, the damaged brake pads rapidly wore down and gouged the braking surface on your wheel until one day the side of the rim wore down to the point where it cracked. Your wheel now needs to be replaced.

In this example, the cost of replacing the damaged brake pads including labour is around $40 and the cost of replacing your Shimano wheel is $280. A couple of months of neglect just cost you an extra $280 .
