Ti-ny Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Upgrade the fork, CWC look at the Reba they have on special, a good fork makes the ride a lot better and then look at the wheels and might have to look at rear mech and shifter as i'm not sure if you have 8sp or 9sp

droo Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Fork first, that XCM isn't the best out there... then discs, then wheelset, then lighter stuff for controls. Drivetrain can be upgraded as and when it wears out, or gets eaten by the trailside goblins.
blockhouse Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Remember upgrading is expensive, look at what you want to achieve with your current steed, if this requires an extensive upgrade, if might be cheaper to replace with a higher spec machine
