Carbon Mountain Bike
Best way to improve speed on my Trek 1500 road bike?

I have a trek 1500 (entry level road bike) and am trying to improve my speed. I can do a 15 mile time trial on a rolling course at an avg speed of 21 MPH. The upgrades that I have done to this bike since I bought it are adding clip less pedals (shimano spd) and aero bars. Have I pretty much maxed this bike out or is there any other ways that I can get this bike going faster (besides training more, which I plan to do anyway). I want to buy a whole new bike, but I just bought this one in January, so if I do that, my wife would get really upset with me. Perhaps a carbon fork, go with a road pedal and shoes instead of mountain bike set up, maybe deep dish rims? How much speed gains could I hope to see from some of these things?

I'll disagree with the one part of the first answer - if you spend £5000 on a Trek 6.9 Madone, it will make a massive difference in speed over a Trek 1500 as there is a big difference in weight and quality of all the components. Rolling weight is key to speed.

The best way to increase your speed without buying a new bike though would be to upgrade the wheels, tyres and tubes. The bike probably had Bontrager select or race wheels as standard s upgrading to Race lite or X lite wheels would reduce the rolling weight. Putting Race X lite tyres and tubes on as well would help to make a difference.

Other than that, you could upgrade the transmission to lighter components but that could get expensive and wouldn't have the same effect.
If you went for road shoes and pedals (like SPD-SL's) then that would make your pedalling more efficient as there is less float in the pedal and you have a larger platform on the pedal and shoe to get more
power down.

About Mongoose In 1974, BMX Products, Inc., later to be known as Mongoose Bicycles, launched from a humble garage. The first of its kind, the BMX bicycle was named after bicycle motocross and was designed to fit the needs of the rough-and-tumble dirt-racing pastime that took its toll on wheels and bicycles. The heavy-duty, one-piece cast-aluminum Mongoose Motomag wheel was soon born, and it was the first competition-ready BMX bicycle available. Skip Hess, while in Australia pursuing his motor sports passion, came into contact with a strange and unusual cat-size animal--the mongoose. Known for its passive nature while unprovoked, yet vicious and aggressive enough to kill a threatening Cobra twice its size, the Mongoose impressed Hess, who quickly registered the Mongoose trademark for his new bicycle racing frame. The Expert BMX bicycle model, which is still a cornerstone of the Mongoose BMX line today, was introduced in 1980. Shortly after, Mongoose captured the first ever ABA National #1 Cruiser Title. Previously known for the 20-inch bicycle, this title signaled the re-direction of Mongoose bicycles to larger-wheeled, adult-sized models. Several years later, Mongoose continues to dominate the cruiser racing circuit with six National No. 1 Cruiser titles, leading to the introduction of adult-sized Mongoose all-terrain bicycles (ATBs). In 1992, Mongoose pioneered the full-suspension market with the introduction of the Amplifier. This design is still the most-copied suspension design in the market. Several year later, Mongoose launched the Newman adult bicycle frame, which is proven to be 15% stronger than any other bike frame in the market. The design, while functionally sound, also raised eyebrows because of its distinctive look. In the next few years, Mongoose increased its marketing focus to dominate the bicycle industry, and more important, extend beyond it. The Mongoose brand marketing initiative makes more than 100 million impressions. Mongoose’s brand awareness increased by over 130% in 1999 and solidifies the No. 2 market share position in units and dollars. Mongoose was acquired by Pacific Cycle, LLC, and continues to grow and prosper with more than 40 models of BMX, mountain, trail, freestyle, jumping, comfort, road, and cyclocross bikes.
