Hey pinkbike Fam!

Just purchased a new 2014 status 1 it should be here in 2 weeks. I've been itching to ride.

Curious, does anyone recommend anything that should be swapped off the bike right away?

Any input would be great!

Phil

It's a great bike for the money but the brakes (avid elixer 1's) are straight up garbage. You can one finger brake for a couple runs then you'll need to bleed them every 2 weeks minimum. I threw a set of shimano xt on and they are night and day difference. Still budget friendly, yet good enough for dh/fr.

i would agree on the brakes. the avid elixir 5s on my stumpy were terrible, 3 trail rides and i has having fade problems. i didnt feel safe trail riding it so i had to swap them out.
