I have never found any improvement to a bike that does not cost a bit more than the norm.
I always spend a bit more on a saddle to get that extra comfort. I will pay a bit,or a lot, extra for that part that will be strong enough but lose a few ounces of unnecessary weight. I spend a fortune on wheels that have that little better rolling capability, but they then last a lot longer. And I will always be tempted by those adverts that will help me climb hills a bit faster. (Never taken the offer up but I do look at the parts on offer)
Basically though, all I have is a good mountain bike that works, It has over the years been improved to suit my comfort needs, but it is still nothing special.
