Hi
I have a 2015 Specialised Langster.
https://www.evanscycles.com/specialized-langster-2015-track-bike-EV193916I've done about 12k miles on it over two years, all fixed. All parts are as spec except for rear wheel, tyres and cog - Alu frame/carbon drop handlebars. I was thinking of buying a new more-geared bike but have decided to stay fixed and to upgrade what I have.
I have only basic bike maintenance skills so asking for advice here.
I want to change the handlebars for carbon bulls with brakes at the end. Is this a straightforward skill for me to learn and do myself? If so, any like-for-like recommendations for the parts?
I'm guessing I should also replace chain, rear cog and chainring. I can do this myself but, again, recommendations for like-for-like parts welcome!
I've only had one major problems with the bike - the crankset on both sides came off last year! The thread the bottom bracket screws into see ruined as a result. I took it to The Bike Hub in Hounslow who were then able to drill me a new thread. However, they did not put loctite on as they had none! I wasn't complaint as they did the work for me free of charge. Will this be a major issue going forward?
Thanks in advance
Jock
