Looking to do some upgrading over the winter
I have a Rocky Mountain hardtail (Soul) and am looking to upgrade some
parts. Front suspension would be first then maybe maybe try a set of disc brakes. I'm not really sure how far I should go with this bike. Budget is $400 CDN for suspension. Anything would be better than the Rock Shox XC on it now! I'v been not used it to hard but want to go farther. Any suggestions? Parts don't have to be current models so I should be able to get something from the past year at discount someplace? Chris Fredericton NB Canada

Chris Fredericton NB Canada It is possible to get a deal or two on ebay (usually lots of suspension forks around there) if you know the retail prices on things and don't get caught up in the whole "have to win" thing. My LBS also sometimes has things around the shop that others got rid of when new more "prestigious" parts became available. Good luck. Kraig... -- ireman_1

It's past the end of season so they're likely looking to unload last years stock to make room for skies etc. and next years bikes. Jason

I'm not really sure how far I should go with this bike. Budget is $400 CDN for suspension. One thing you might do is some serious looking for used bikes at that price. Component costs add up really fast...but if you can find somebody with a nice bike that wants to get rid of it..... -- PeteCresswell
