Posts: 38
Hi all
Ive got a titus ftm carbon is it worth upgrading or should i save my pennies and get a new frame.
I would like to upgrade the wheels from mavic 717 rims with hope pro2 hubs to something more enduro like stans flow.
My forks are fox 150 talas rlc i was thinking to upgrade to fox 34's or rockshock pike.Any advice would be appreciated .

if there are particular reason why you want to upgrade? and how much have you got to spend.
Manitou mattoc's look like a great buy for "enduro" as do replacing the 717's with arch EX rims.0 -
1:I am not happy with the forks would i notice any difference with fox34's are they worth the extra.
2: Or should i keep what i have got and find a better 26"frame like pivot mach5.7 ?0 -
FTMs aren't all that 'enduro'(?!). What does the bike as a whole not do that you want it to? If you think you might be better off on a bigger bike then test riding some others should tell you for sure.0

What i am trying to say is the frame worth buying new wheels and fork or should i save for a new frame.
To be honest I don't really get on with it. It feels very steep and skippy to me when pointed down, and the front end all over the place.0 -
-
To me they seem to dive when breaking and flex it could be me but i would like some advise.0
-
Try adding more low speed compression damping on the fork.
The frame is very good, nice and light.0 -
I've tried all that and they still dive but that could be me. Would i find much difference with the fox 34's0

Depends on the version you are looking at.0

be worse lol
phone up TFtuned and as what they can do to improve it. the RLC up to 09 can be push tuned0 -
Will be stiffer. But unless are 2014 versions, they will not cure dive issues. Less adjustability, and a linear air spring.
For that money can get a new Pike!0
