Do you need to upgrade a new bike?! Have you bought the right one?

A few ways to look at this. Persoanlly, apart from what you have don I'd leave it until parts break then upgrade/replace. Tyres are a possibilty from new.

If you plan to make a lot of changes, take of the parts now and sell them as new or you will waste a lot of money. But as above, maybe tyres and enjoy the bike!

i am just considering for later on some parts arent the best and will break quickly

See what breaks, then replace! Can't see anything that would straight away, is a lottery really. Crank maybe a weak link, keep an eye on it, and hubs and spokes. Good servicing here will prolong them.

i was just thinking about the crank as it is plastic and is a very cheap quality but i will wait and see thanks for the advice supersonic

I deleted your previous topic in here for a reason, and it wasn't to give you extra practise posting new topics. Use your topic in Jumping.

I got the email about the dual post, but the other topic had been deleted leaving just this when I went to the link! Or have I missed one?

*edit* I see it now, an oldie.
