    Upgrade?

    Hmmmmm,

    Here's an strange thought........

    Wait until something breaks.

    What's the point of spending all your money on for example replacing a perfectly good set of forks, if the next day the drive train goes bye bye?

    If I absolutely have to recommend an upgrade......full LX group set

    Altus and Acera are the lower end of the gear range, but again, it depends what your using the bike for.

    Heavy XC use, I'd say change em, If your just using it to bimble around with your mates down the shop.....not going to make a lot of difference.
