Ok my bad I thought that was obvious, cause that is actually the first thing I did. Didn't really think of tubeless as an upgrade, more like a necessity.

koukie Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 It depends on how much you want to spend, but I think you will get the biggest performance gain by upgrading wheels. It made the biggest difference for me anyway. FondyMig 1

Previous bike I converted to jagwire cable kit and it made a HUGE difference. Luckily the scott has internal cable routing

Pick each part carefully for the best combination of price/performance/weight/reliability and sexiness. In an ideal world yes. That would be the way I would go. Built a bike for my son from a few bits that were lying around. I really enjoyed the process. Might do one for dad soon
