    What is your budget, and are their any areas particularly letting you down?

    How much was the bike? Watch out as sometimes it can be more cost-effective to get a whole new bike.

    Think hard about what you don't like most about the bike before committing cash. Upgrades are ultimately a personal preference.

    What terrain do you ride.

    I bought my bike for £180 (lightly used) just had it serviced - my budget is sub £200. I have never ridden a very expensive bike so I dont know what is letting me down :(
    Thank you so much guys!

    Id go for:

    Wider bars
    New tyres
    Better pedals

    (if its still the original ones).

    These will all make a difference to the ride of the bike for sure.
