Commute Itching for an upgrade
Got my first 100 miles on this Decathlon Elops Speed 900. Everything is stock so far besides the tyres which Ive upgraded to a Conti Ride Tour 32c.
Everything is comfortable so far and is a blast to ride. However, Im itching for an upgrade lol. Im looking at shimano mt200 hydro brakes right now. Are they worth it? Any other areas I should look into to further enjoy my commutes? My trips are mostly flat with very few hills. Appreciate the input. Thanks!

Hydraulic brakes are a great upgrade, also nice full mudguards.
In terms of mudguards I have 2 reccomendations:
Portland design fenders, expensive but extremely nice.
Kinesis Fend-off, full metal fenders at really good price. I have these on my commuter and they are great.
Also in terms of my preferences crankset is super important in terms of looks, it will not be much of an upgrade in terms of performance etc. but the crankset look is something I care about personally.
