what's the part(s) that you are least happy with?

e.g. would you prefer slicker shifting, better braking, more controlled and responsive suspension?

Do you want to lose a bit of weight?

What sort of riding do you do?

What is your budget?



There are loads of improvements that could be made to almost any bike, but it's all a queation of what you want to improve, how much you want to improve it and therefore how much you are willing to spend.

I don't really like the forks but what forks would you recommend

yoohoo999

you can pick up some rockshox tora's for about £150, or look out for some second hand Fox 32's.

Personally having upgraded mine i wished id upgraded my forks first. I upgraded my wheels and brakes first... well i lie i upgraded my bottom bracket and cranks cos they got worn out after my first 2 months of riding :?

First are the pedals. Get some decent ones like the DMR V8 for £20 or better.
Next is the fork, for £125 you can get a Recon Silver from Merlin.

Then what ever you don't like, except the frame which looks good.
