new fork, new brake and you should be set.

Brakes are good atm, but i cant see them lasting long. For a fork I had started looking at the Rebate Park, but now ive noticed that the new NS RNS 2 2009 fork is around 1300gs whereas the Rebate is 1400gs, it also seems alot stronger

heard the RNS has much flex...
the rebate is deffinetly the best rigid fork for street/dirt/park

Why would you go for a good 3 piece Cr-mo BMX crank when XT's are -

-Cheaper
-Lighter
-Better looking

Also, Intense Micro Knobbys are the perfect park tyre. I would go for a rebate up front over a NS rigid.

Why do you not want a Disc?

keep it simple. bmx cranks may be a little heavier. but stronger. i would trust profiles over sints anyday. and discs always go wrong. they are wank haha.

Hmmm, well im definitely sticking with v's. The tyres you showed me seemed quick expensive but the main reason is that I cant find them anywhere in 24 inch. Otherwise, what do you think of Table Tops sport, alot cheaper than their folding brother, any good?

Well ive planned out what im going to "upgrade" only little thing but if the numbers are right (I calculated the weight i would lose from the tyres by saying the k-rads weight 900gs each, still need to weigh them) my bike should go from 28.4lb to around 26.4. This is by getting a Federal Stump Seat pose and pivotal seat (around 300gs as the combo and i weighed the seat+post on the ns as around 600gs), along with Schwalbe Table Top Sport tyres http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=24638. 600gs each.
Sounds good. Still need to weigh my tyre tho, very interested about that, and how much do you think the Tektro v-brake would weight, im planning to take it off.
