Allright, just got a new GT Aggressor 3.0 2013. I don't really know what parts would fit on it so I was wondering if any of guys would be able to help me out.

Was mainly looking at getting new tires and forks but I was wondering if anyone has had this bike before and upgraded it?

Cheers

    Tyres, 26" but if you just bought it new and are changing the forks, you bought the wrong bike. Why not take it back and get the right one.

    It was a present sorry, should have explained that ahah! I just need forks with a bit more travel, not sure how much is the max for this bike though

    I wouldn't put more than 100-120mm on that frame, it's only designed for XC. (Actually the Aggressor is in the 'Recreational Cycles' section which is the one below XC, so probably nothing over 100mm)

    comes with 63mm forks - TBH I'd not bother doing anything with it or if you insist don't go over 80mm on the forks

    does anyone know what's the widest tires you could fit on this model? Front and rear? 2.3?

    Thanks!
