    I would change the frame, forks, wheels, and any other bits attached.

    Or you could detail the current spec, and any areas it lets you down when riding it.

    My opinion:
    How the hell can anyone comment if they don't know what's on there, what's failing you, what you ride, what you want out of the bike.
    Although now I would suggest upgrading the rider.

    Although cooldad does have a "unique" :D way of putting it he's right, it all depends on what you think the issues are.

    on my Vengeance ive now discovered my brakes arent quite as nice as powerful as i would like, so ill be changing them

    what do you think is wrong with your bike?

    Does your mommy still breastfeed you?
    But you already said in another post that the Epicons have been replaced with Bombers, so my point is still relevent.

    Edit - The breastfeeding in question referring to the OP, not the previous poster.

    Well to be honest I just bought the bike
    And in the post about the forks I wanted to know which we're a better fork cos i didn't change them in the first place.
    The avid 3s I read there not all that and wondered if anyone had changed from these.
    Handle bars seem a bit to big for my liking was thinking of a smaller set.

    BMX bars are the way forward then :roll: :lol:

    or cut down the existing ones

    EDIT: this may be sarcasm :wink:

    Then don't do anything until you've rode it and decided what it is about it you don't like.
    The avid 3s I read there not all that

    What it is it you don't like about them?

    I'm guessing nothing, it's just that you read an article saying they're not all that.

    If you apply the same logic to all the components on that bike then you'll be replacing everything as there's always something better!

    If the bars are too wide cut em down!

    True al just stick with sorting the bars out!
    Thanx

    Before you decide to cut the bars down, try moving your shifters/levers in to where you "think" you want them and go for a decent ride with them in place, to see if thats really the issue before cutting the bars themselves

    or just cut them down and hope

    or you could just get used to them, the more you start to use the bike you might find the wider bars an advantage, the 2011 fury is a top bike, just ride it
