I made a topic like this about 3 years go, a lot has changed since then so it might be worth posting again.
It's mostly aimed at those who have been riding for over 6 years.
So, the question is - if you could send 3 bike parts back in time to the early days of your riding, what would they be? Let's say you'd actually have to buy these first.
For me it would be:
- A strong Deng 20" frame like a GU LE '10 or something similar
- Echo TR freeweel
- Magura HS33
Always had snapping frames, those ridiculous Shimano freewheels with a single oval spring which kept skipping and leaking brakes. It was a pain in the arse. Things have changed so much since then.
