In other words Now that you’ve made the adjustment you can’t go back?

steem size and cranks size
Lycra
Gatorskins and butyl to GP5000s and tpu. I’ll never go back now.
Bigger, tubeless, wider rims
Switching to 32cc tires
Big tires, shorter cranks, the right stem length/reach, comfy grips
For drops road brake levers. Not even close
Shorts and gloves. Thin soled shoes or clips ins too.
Supple tires that everyone complains wear out too fast. Throw some sealant in removable core tubes and enjoy more comfort, control, and overall ride quality.
Ready for this post to be deleted by mods for asking a question. “Weekly thread bla bla bla”
Better tires (GP 5k, etc) and better wheels.
Tires, always tires
Saddle. I got a saddle that (I think) fit me great, or atleast fits me way better than the last. It improved everything. Not just ass comfort, but my pelvic tilt, which also helped with lower back, reach, neck etc etc.
Calloused chode
Raising the seat
Tyres
a GOOD set of tires, gatorskins or gp5000s or the Vittoria rubino, I’ve rode and like all but the Vittoria, I havnt been able to get a set of them yet. Your saddle is also a huge change! If you can find a really comfortable one that you like and fits well, then your bar tape too! The last thing is just grease/lubing your chain and bottom bracket and making sure your hubs are good even a new chain, sprocket, and chain ring can make a HUGE difference if they’re well worn out.
