Would buying new shiny bits help?
only if you enjoy cleaning them to keep them shiny, otherwise best not go riding through fear of getting them dirty
No, well, yes, Ok maybe?
I buy upgrades as often as anyone else, but odly I always seem to get the singlespeed out the garrage despite being the same as it was when I bought it bar some maintenance.
mine has been sat still waiting for my dr's ok, new wheels on order (well hubs and special local builds) just got grip shift (injury related), got the garmin sensors and the usb stick for the turbo to keep on it.
new toys help who am i kidding
Sometimes they can. I couldn't wait to get out on my bike when I bought some XT brakes a while ago, but sometimes I'm.not that fussed when I get new bits.
Best thing for me is nice weather or doing something different to what I normally ride.
Would buying new shiny bits help?
If I don't have the motivation to ride my bikes, I rarely have the motivation to buy new bits.
I just tend to do other things until [if and when] I get my bike mojo back.
Bored of MTB? Pick up a cheap road bike on eBay (£150 jobbie).
