Build a Better Bike

What to Know: Old levers tend to stick and lose tension, requiring more effort to control.

Upgrade to: Sram Red DoubleTap. Install these and shifting and braking will be as crisp as they are on a brand-new bike. With Sram’s double-tap system, you can also shift up or down with the same lever. [$619; sram.com]
