In no necessary order (and I stress that to avoid involving myself in the endless debate of what will best improve bike performance) they are the engine* (in other words you), the bike frame, the bike fit, the clothing, the helmet, and of course the wheels. There are a variety of accessories which, outside of any variable conditions, can provide free speed and performance on a bike, and depending on who you talk to, each may have more benefit than another. But just know that it’s not a critique or endorsement of that product. In fact, the lack of a feature here could mean a lot of things (such as power meters not being part of my regular training, or a piece of equipment being far to expensive, or I just didn’t get off my lazy butt to write about it).

Now, just because I don’t review a product doesn’t mean I don’t like it. Thus I am choosing to not necessarily “review” products, but instead just write about stuff I like. In all seriousness though, after a few races under my belt, I’m beginning see what works for me and what doesn’t. Only the electric ether of the internets). I then realized that this is a blog, after all, and any opinions which are expressed here are well worth the paper they’re printed on (which is none because, well, no “paper”. Additionally, I felt my experience in the sport had yet to merit any credibility on any particular subject. I haven’t taken much to reviewing products on this site, as I figured it might infringe on my “no negativity” rule.
