#1... Upsize the front disk and move the caliper with a mounting bracket change. Not sure if that's within your $50.. but this would be the #1 upgrade (if like most you've already upgraded that front tyre) This is an actual UPGRADE, not just sticker bling etc. Cheap cable silencer. Go to your local mower repair shop, buy some fluro or black fuel line. stick a straightened coat hanger down the centre, roll it on a cutting board while slicing it with a razor in a spiral (ok a Helix but hopefully you know what I mean... 0:45)
As per my chainstay, I wrap around it with used inner tube. It's cheap & tact way to protect my chainstay from chain slap. Lots of love, cheers, & Mabuhay, from my end--the Philippines! #RideOn #KeepBiking
Actually, £50 is quite a lot of money to spend during this particular moment in time. What you should spend it on depends on what you use your bike for. 1) change your tires. You can get hans dampf or rock razor for less than £20 each. 2) make your tires tubeless. Tubeless valves around £5 and sealing gunk for around £20. 3) new brake. You can find 4 piston brakes for under £50 now. 4) if your saddle hurts your bottom, get yourself a comfortable saddle for less than £20. 5) change your stem and/or handle bars for better control/feel. 40mm stems can be bought for £5. Nice handle bars can be found for around £20. 6) if you are a newbie and prone to accidents, get yourself a helmet and gloves. £50 should do the job. 7) if you are a poser, get yourself some pink grips and fancy stickers. You will get change from £50, so treat yourself to lunch at whetherspoons 😂
Love customizing my bikes. I do all that and more on my bikes. Got a new bike coming too, so can't wait to start upgrading it with various components and colors
Here's a tip for your video editors, if you hold down the shift key and press 3 you will get a pound symbol instead of a dollar symbol, you guys nearly have 2 million subscribers and are based in the UK but yet still make school boy errors with your titles as someone there doesn't seem to know what currency we use in the UK, unreal.
Those white overalls need a decal on the back... Picture a scale like a big thermometer... Titles "Effort Meter" (And is a scale of the mud up your back)... At the Bottom (literally) the scale would be marked "Walked it" then -Kept to the road -Gave it a go -had fun -pushed through the pain -Sent it (and at the top)... -Yes... I Fell off
Best upgrade for less than £50? Pedals - metal flats with pins (vs the plastic ones that come with the bike) Feel the difference in grip and can feel you can put the power down more efficiently 😎
@rasmusvedel he's talking about the cheap plastic ones that come stock on a lot of bikes though, not the nicer plastic ones with metal pins like the chesters
It has been known to pull paint off so be very careful when applying! The adhesive on frame specific protection are usually paint safe which may be slightly more desirable 🤘
PEDALS!!! If you don't have a decent set of pedals already then this is the absolute best upgrade. £30 on some pedals can change the whole feel of the bike and a decent set can hugely boost confidence and your riding as well
#askgmbntech I get why we went to 1x drivetrains, but why haven't they been replaced with two or three geared hub gears inside the bottom bracket? It would give you the gear range while retaining clutched derailleurs and reducing the need to have such a heavy cassette with all its unsprung mass on the back.
Oh please come on… how in the world should a stainless steel cable stretch? Unless frayed you can keep it forever and save the environment. It’s housing that needs replacement often. Just wipe your cable with gasoline ⛽️ and you are good to go.
4.40 min in, and she lost it again Cables stretch when newly installed, It´s not why cables are changed. It´s because they´re poorly maintained, or the cable housing´s are old and worn. What is she doing on this channel.....!!!!!
Best upgrade for £50 is hiring a nitty to rob you a yeti from a dentist
🤣🤣🤣👍

Great idea! There are some really cheap inner tubes online, or you can use an old one. (Even if it has a puncture)

How are those pink grips treating ya matey?😆🌸
@@dawhoda1 quite "sticky" 😆 🤣
Good suggestions! Thanks for sharing 🤘
Cheese Grips....just saying
I'm not sure helmets are just for newbies 😂

You gave me some really good ideas like the fork spaces tool storage and the custom decals, so cheers for that, Anna 👍🏽😊❤️
Glad to here it helped! What bike are you going to upgrade?
Anna cheers for the great ideas,some good ones there for a minimal spend.
Can you put a link to the rubber twizzles please - its hard to tell when doing a search the size needed! 🙂
This is the avocado on toast episode
I’m so here for it 😆🙌

That has always confused me! Is their American audience greater than the UK audience? If that Is the case, MAKE AN AMERICAN CHANNEL.

SPD pedals only, these pins shredding shit is scary af to my legs. I dont get HOW anyone can put them to his bike.
@danielstormy3660 how often are you shinning yourself with the pedals lol
Plastic pedals can be perfectly fine. I much prefer my race face Chesters to my Shimano Saint or XT, for instance.
And here I am swapping out my metal flats for a set of Trail one composites…….

I used a 2004 mtb for many years I finally upgraded to the Grand Canyon 5 to improve my skills
That is a awesome Bike for a fair price and only 14kg of weight and a decent Fork on top of that.
Happy riding my friend!
Cheers from Switzerland
Where did you get the 'twizzels' for the cables, so it stops hitting the frame?
0:53 some eBay helitape is way preferable to these kids bike things.

HT PA03A pedals at that. Unbeatable performance for the money.
Such a worthwhile upgrade to do! The best and usually most wallet friendly upgrades you can do are the contact points. (pedals, tyres, grips etc.)
Grt your next lot of cleaning and lubing stuff

New saddle. Its possible to get some good deals for less than £50 and one that may fit you better than the one your bike came with.
Replacing cables won't keep them from stretching, learn to adjust them.
$50..? thought the uk had pound sterling...
G mbn. $ is universal.
@@Cous1nJack it's a uk based channel and the exchange rate is different..
@@TheWeardale1 how does the world bank compare GNI, debt etc etc
@@Cous1nJack - Regardless. Even if they use dollar $, that would still be converted to local currency for anyone doing the research.
@@MrMuz99 convert it then multiply by 0.71
