The first and important update would be pedals. Can't choose between SPD and platform pedals like Nukeproof Eelctron. Also grips isn't for my hands and should test Crests because m heavy rider. I think they are too lightweight for me.

What dou you think about 2.4 Rocket Rons or Conti Rubber Queens? When i have short travel XC bike rocket rons seems to be very fast tire, but how about Rubber Queen? Maybe 2.25 is enough because i live in country where isn't lot of agressive trails.

I use a 2.2 RQ on my hardtail and ride pretty aggressive, rough and rocky trails. It is great. It's the black chilli compound though, the cheaper compounds are rubbish. I also run a Rocket Ron on the rear with it, love that too, very fast tyre. If it gets a bit wet I swap the ron for an ardent.

Thanks!

I should think about tire options. Need to check these before swaping.

What you have already should be enough for the conditions you describe...

Today rode a couple kilometers. Nothing dirty, but full drivetrain with sand.
