Why do you Upgrade?

[Kevoffthetee]

Because my bike is lilac, oh wait I STILL haven't upgraded

That's Your reasons why You upgrade, but it's not all about you mind.

I seem to have to correct most of your responses, for some reason. Those are not my reasons for upgrading - but those are generally the benefits that upgrades might give you - unless you can think of any others. The point I'm making is that the only one of those factors which remains contentious is 'performance' - and your response has just demonstrated that.

Coz I like shopping, having new things and I don't have any interest in shoes or handbags

The kit on my bikes is not what limits my performance

Firstly, that was a complete joke, which was meant to be obvious. Your comprehension of jokes is very poor.

If those are Not your reasons, then why have you posted them In response to a poll called What Are YOUR Reasons for Upgrading?

You're starting this up yet again, when I was just trying to lighten the atmosphere earlier.

So suddenly you develop a sense of humour? Give me some warning next time...

As I said in the original post, my previous reply, and am now reminding you again, those are a range of typical reasons. As I also just said, feel free to add to it if you feel it is incomplete.

What do you ride again?

What do you ride again?

I dont think he rides anything

 

[SpokeyDokey]

Better build quality for me.

That wheel thread got over 200 responses, I wonder how long this one will last...

What wheel thread?

 

[Citius]

What do you ride again?

A scooter. I thought Jowwy had already pre-judged that?

 

[Cuchilo]

oh man , they are starting to fight again

 

[SpokeyDokey]

That's Your reasons why You upgrade, but it's not all about you mind.

Performance gains are nigh on impossible to prove, as you know from recent discussions. Perceived performance gains are, in my opinion, actually equally as valid. I know you will disagree there, but I agree with other opinions on this one.

Personally, I would ideally like real world performance gains and honestly believe that I have experienced this. I have no proof, as cannot test in a perfect environment. If it turns out that I have worked harder since getting my new wheels or that I can't actually breathe better by being in a better climbing position from having my shorter stem, then I will accept them as only a perceived gain and enjoy the gain nonetheless.

Extract from a religious thread?
