Despite access to top cycling equipment, professional cycling tech journalists often opt for less advanced options based on personal preference. For instance, one journalist prefers inner tubes to tubeless tires and finds power meters unnecessary. The article discusses the culture of constant upgrades in cycling, suggesting many purchases are driven by societal pressure rather than true need. The author aims to advise readers against unnecessary spending on equipment, such as power meters, questioning the validity of common upgrade paths in cycling.
Many people buy power meters because they feel they should, rather than to truly enhance their cycling performance, which is not a valid reason for such an investment.
Cycling is an upgrade-heavy sport, with many extravagant upgrades promised to provide speed, but the necessity of these enhancements is often overstated.
