karlito Posted January 31, 2014 Author Posted January 31, 2014 Tubeless conversion...always a tubeless conversion. 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.
Cellar Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 At +- R3k/set for an MTB, no thanks. And I thought the motorbike tyres were expensive.

I love mine Best upgrade imo after that would be good set of TR tyres....if you don't have them already
DR ◣◢ Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Bars, stem, grips, pedals Personal preference. On the Jamis... It was everything
DJG Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Close - plain Chunkys for me. And then the saddle - something by Fizik. ditto for me!

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

Grebel Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 If one can afford it, build the bike piece by piece. Then you don't have to change anything. 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
patches Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 A Gobi you change the saddle to a Gobi... or from a Gobi to something more comfortable karlito and flyluis 2
MuddyMike Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 you change the saddle to a Gobi... or from a Gobi to something more comfortable what made you so angry with yourself to ride a Gobi?? :ph34r: :ph34r:
LazyTrailRider Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Only upgrade I have made on my Trance so far was to install a continuous gear cable housing. Absolutely worth it, cheap and highly effective. Good cables are totally underrated. T-Bob 1
