i would chage the saddle, cos this is very heavy and uncomfortable. and the tyres. the ones that come with the bike are too thin!
cheers!

about the only thing i could say would be tires, im not sure whats on there but a good set of tires makes a huge difference.

any suggestions for tires or does it not really matter as long as they're bigger

AALLLRRIGGHHTT... I think that before doing anything on your bike start to ride it. Start to know him like if it was yourself and then you'll start to know whats wrong on your bike for how you use it. don'T think to change anything on it right now.

Sad that it took 7 f'ing pages for all the rejects on this forum to come to this realization.... god damnit people.

Jeeez some people are so stupid Madder saying to put X.O on it and codes on it!!! you have got great breaks you just have to give them time to break in plus if you put an X.O. on it and as you are learning to ride you'll probably fall a lot so you'd probably break it after what 5 good crashes and ruin the scratch the codes and then you would be why the f*** did I waste 700$ on 3 parts witch are now ruined...

Leave it as it is no worries prob the next thing you'll have to change is the break pads Big Grin

agreed!!
dont listen to all these PB people telling you to get all this high end stuff. Your parts are good since ur only a beginner, give ur self time to progress in DH, and once u get good and know what you want you want buy whatever you want. And if you are going to buy upgrades do the research yourself, because most likely PB people will just tell you the high end expensive stuff, that unless your rich or something is gonna be a hole in your pocket.

alright, thanks everyone and ill take your advice to wait until something breaks. no use in wasting money on parts that already work. i'll have pictures up soon of riding as soon as i get over a bad cold that i have now.
