cheaper most effective Upgrade?
I want to improve my bike so wheel upgrade or Crank upgrade is on my list of to do's...Cost is an issue performcnace / weight as well. Bottom line I lack funds so what would be the cheaper bigger bang for the buck.
I see wheels on sale for Under $200 and cranks for about $100

As a general rule, wheels will yield more tangible results in an upgrade, no matter whether you're going for durability, for saving weight or both.

Yeah, that struck me too. On the other hand, I've had bikes that a $95 LX/RhynoLite set was an upgrade
