Hey.. since as its christmas and my birthday soon(ish) i was wonderin what you guys think i should get. I ride a scott nitrous 10. I like everything about the bike apart from the rear shock and the weight. So i was thinking upgrading either wheels, or bar, stem, seatposts. I ride freeride and sort of aggressive xc if thats real.. I hear fox dhx5 are the way to go.. but i dont have 300 quid to spend on a shock alone. And as for wheels i was thinking halo freedoms.. but i haven;t got a clue. Help please!!

    I'd say fox dhx3 2nd hand is a good enough buy, but then I don't use it for uphills. I love mine though. Best upgrade for weight would be the wheels as when they are rolling they are ridiculously heavier than static, apparently anyway. I personally have no suggestions wheelwise apart from having new rims built on to your current hubs, if they don't suck obviously... to save money.

    They should be ok in that case.
