Morning all.

Thinking about spending some money on my 2016 Trance 2.

So where do I put my money first? From looking around on the Internet I've found a few options;

1) tyres - upgrade the basic nobby nics

2) shock tune

3) rear axle from QR to 12mm - can the sxc wheels be converted or would this involve new wheels aswell?

I'm after best bang for buck. they'll probably all get done eventually, along with wheels, but not in time for this summer.

    What does it not do that you want it to do?

    Tyres would be the obvious thing depending on which model they currently are. Description is a bit vague.

  • Thanks for the nice sensible advice and honesty - don't waste your money!!

    Think I'll swap out the nobbys and save money for if and when I need to replace bits.

    Just change things you feel are under performing.
    Having ridden a Trance, there are a few changes Id make and they're different to what you mentioned. That suggests that you ride diffently to me and probably wouldn't benefit from my choice of upgrades.
    Suspension only ever needs tuning if you notice it's there when you're riding, if it's perfect you won't notice it's even there. Same goes for tyres although most people would gain more grip by changing they're technique than by changing tyres.
