Great advice Morgan. One I would add personally is a narrow-wide chainring
(assuming your bike doesn't come with 1X11, at this price point probably a
fair assumption). It makes your bike so much quieter, saves weight by losing
front shifter and derailleur (and not replacing it with a chain device) and
works way better than I ever thought it would. If, like me, you still want a
bigger range and are never in a huge rush to shift your front gears, you can
even leave your granny ring on and use your foot/hand to change gear. At
$40-50 I think it is a solid upgrade.
