sadly, these are the things i would upgrade, frame/wheels/tires. everything else is cromoly so is should hold up. If you want to upgrade your frame/wheels it would be a lot of money. I would only worry about the tires now because everything looks legit.

By the way how do you like the finger bangers?

edit: id pick up a new stem that might be a good investment, but if nothing is breaking and you have money id say dont do anything but the tires for now.

The finger bangers are very nice
grippy tup

thanks for the suggestions.
i think im gonna get a new stem, bars and tyres.
the only reason im gonna get new bars is because they arrived packaged with some hideous scratches on them lol

New tires first I think ?

I put some Fly Reuben folding tyres on my Subrosa Novus - Not only did it make the bike lighter it also rides smoother and has bags more grip.

cheers

no problem, i wouldnt waste my money on new bars unless you totally dont like the specs. it seems like they are big,full chromoly,and good. stem and tires sound great for now.

And far from the greatest... It's a tire most should stay far away from.

One person? It has happened to many, many people before. It's a known problem with KHE tires.
