Hey guys, my bike was stolen two years ago and I've been out of it since then. I just paid the bike-shortage tax and bought an inflated road bike on Facebook Marketplace because I couldn't hold back any longer.
I've been out of the scene for a few years now, looking to get back on the bike and shed a few pounds. I'm looking for a few things along with the first basic check/tune-up for this bike as it's second hand.
1. Basic check/tune up. There are so many options from MEC to Bike & Brew to The Bike Shop to the guy down by the river. Who should I go to?
2. Obvious a new/better lock and way to attach it to the bike
3. Shimano Sora 11-32T cassette, the bike came with Sora 12-25T which doesn't help someone out of shape with climbing
4. A pannier rack for road bikes
Any tips? Are parts also in shortage? I haven't been able to find any of the last two while browsing the major local shop websites.
