Hi all,
Im using my BSO for short trail rides in my local woods at the moment - 30-60min blasts, nothing tricky.
I'm thinking about slowly upgrading it so I have a decent bike in a year or two, rather than buying a new one which I can't really justify, so...
1. Are component upgrades less expensive than buying a whole bike?
I'm looking at first bringing in new cranks and the pedals won't screw in anymore.
The twist handles take the skin off my thumbs, so I'd like to change those.
The brakes are fecked but I'm not going fast enough to care, but the wheels are likely to crap out next.
2. Am I going to be able to upgrade a BSO (Trax tfs.1), or are they proprietary builds?
3 are cranks, twist handles and wheels already >£400?
