Mtb Component Upgrade- weight saving & performance

[Daniel XTR]

Hi I am currently riding  a fairly middle of the Road Bike. Giant Alias 09. Looking to improve the bike a bit. (the rider needs improving of his own ) Looking to upgrade either Wheelset or Shock. At the moment, its got a Rock Shox Tora, some cheap A$$ alex rims. I suspect going a new wheelset (XT and Tubless) will set me back about the same as or a bit less than a new fork.

 

Using the combined knowlegde of the hub, i would like to know your opinions on which to do first. (or do i do the crank, XT and have some change). 

 

Thanks in advance.

Definately wheels first!

[singletrackmind]

Wheels 1st 100%

 

Then fork.

 

If you wanting to save weight look at seat, post, bars and stem as well. That saves alot of weight. Dont get XT wheels, get a set of ztr wheels

Great, its looking to be wheels thus far. My bro is coming for a visit from Canada in about 10 days, so i may ask him to transport them for me. Anyone know of a LBS in Toronto?

Obviously depends on how we get treated with currency in the next few days
