Hi guys
I would appreciate your recommendations regarding an upgrade I would like to do on my 2004 GT Avelanche 1.0. The frame is still excellent but I've been struggling with a bad rear wheel and had a rebuild 3 times now, but it quickly goes out of true. Its ruined.
So I need recommendations on a new wheel set. Since it is a good sum, I sort of want the value for doing the second upgrade I want - that is to go the hydraulic disc brake route. Again I would appreciate recommendations on the kit to use.
I am a 100kg average MTB, mostly road rider but I really want to spend more time in the veld including racing again. The roads these days are too dangerous. My budget is probably ~R4000 - how realistic I'm not sure.
One last recommendation. Which shop in northern Joburg would you recommend for the work? The shop I bought my bike from does not exist anymore and the lab does not stock GT bits.
Thanks!
