pietas Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 As long as everything works, you can do it on a R4000 second-hand bike
AndreZA Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 I think you first need to make up your mind what size bike you ride. You surely can not ride a s,m,l,xl,xxl.   .   Â
Batmanza Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009  What do i NEED to upgrade ?   Go tubeless, so maybe some new tyres. Maxxis Crossmark are awesome.Â
gasant112 Posted March 5, 2009 Author Posted March 5, 2009 The size is not the problem...the components ....I am worried about.. Am I good to go with what i HAVE ????
splat Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 see if that saddle is OK. Often the oem saddles are soft and bad quality.I would suggest a tubeless conversion as well and possibly some different tyres. Otherwise you are good to go! 2 clowns did the Epic on fully rigid single speeds a year or two ago.
gasant112 Posted March 5, 2009 Author Posted March 5, 2009 I might get me other wheels? What would you suggest...
Marius Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 They must've forgotten to attach the rear shox, better get one asap or you gonna be in pain

Maxxis Crossmark are awesome.[/quote']  This may be your best bet for an UPGRADE - will make a huge dif when riding - everything is hard, so to fix tires is extra crap. Crossmarks ROCK
Red Zone Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 Upgrade that Tora to a Recon, it is a massive improvement. and get an Anthem
GTRacing Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 Bike's cool, tubeles and a good seat's all you need...Check the larenn TT ust.
Weight Weenie Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 Bar ends like the cane creek ergo II's will help you to find multiple hand positions during the long stages and keep your paws from getting sore. Go tubeless with UST tyres, yes they are heavy and expensive but you'll have much less hassles with punctures in the long run. Make sure the bike is serviced and maybe go for a bike setup so your comfy on the bike, but maybe its not a good idea to change it now? Get good quality bib shorts and shammy cream and a saddle that your but likes and your good to go. The Epic costs enough already, I dont see the logic in spending even more to upgrade your bike now. Rather get a dually later or a lighter frame, its cheaper than upgrading individual parts.
JPW# Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 All the bikes are OK before the Epic and none of them are OK afterward!
