Frequently Asked Questions - Optimize Your High-End Bike with Velo-Perso.com

1. How can I optimize a high-end road bike worth €5000 to achieve the performance of a €15000 bike?
At Velo-Perso.com, we offer high-quality components such as ceramic bottom brackets, oversized derailleur cages with pulleys, and lightweight, high-performance cranksets. These upgrades enhance the efficiency and smoothness of your bike, transforming a €5000 high-end model into a machine with performance comparable to €15000 bikes.

2. Which components should I choose to optimize a bike at a reasonable price?
We recommend:

• Rotor Aldhu cranksets (24 mm or 30 mm).
• Ceramic bottom brackets from CyclingCeramic or Bikone.
• Oversized derailleur cages with pulleys for improved drivetrain efficiency.
• Ceramic wheel bearings, perfect for increased speed.
• Spatzwear aerodynamic accessories to enhance speed at a low cost.

These optimizations increase drivetrain efficiency, durability, and smoothness while respecting your budget.

3. Why choose Velo-Perso.com to optimize my bike?
Since 2009, Velo-Perso.com has specialized in optimizing high-end bikes. We:

• Test each product in real-world conditions.
• Collaborate with reputable brands known for their quality and performance.
• Offer a personalized advisory service to help you select the best options based on your goals.

4. What performance gains can I expect with targeted optimizations?
With upgrades such as:

• A ceramic bottom bracket or oversized pulleys, you can save between 1 and 5 watts.
• By combining several products (ceramic bearings and aerodynamic accessories), you can achieve 20 watts saved at a speed of 35 km/h.

These improvements deliver performance comparable to the most expensive bikes on the market.

5. Are the products offered by Velo-Perso.com compatible with all frames?

• Canyon Aeroad
• Scott Addict, Scott Foil
• Bianchi Oltre
• Specialized Tarmac SL8, and many more.

6. Is an optimized bike suitable for everyday use?
Absolutely. The optimizations offered by Velo-Perso.com not only boost performance but also increase the durability of components. These improvements are perfect for daily use, whether for training or competition.

7. Can a power meter improve my performance?
Yes, a power meter can help you improve in multiple areas. Despite its slight extra weight (less than 100 g), it allows you to measure the power required to ride at the same speed with different components (protocol matters!). A power meter helps you ride at your own pace: you’ll avoid going beyond your limits and can sustain the highest possible effort for your targeted duration. Additionally, a power meter lets you build a progression plan over several months—or even seasons—and achieve better performance over time. Lastly, when used correctly, a power meter helps you adjust your Rotor oval chainrings, allowing you to fully benefit from this technology.
