    I might put some semi slicks on when iv worn them out tbf they roll pretty well already.I do sometimes jump on to a muddy trail or muddy farm tracks so they work pretty well :)

    I don't know if you'll get much out of upgrading it, maybe something a little lighter... I've always thought the camber looked a bit cheap, but with decent kit on it, it does look really good. After all, it does have a Spesh FSR link, so it's not gonna be a bad frame!

    One of the reasons I got the camber was cause it was cheap and I didn't know if I was goin to like what I'm doin extra but a lot of trips round Wales on it and me bein back then 19st things started to soon fall apart so I upgraded bits at a time.the frame is starting to look a bit tired tbf so might get it painted or get another frame il see what happens :)
