Hello
I have been riding my MTB for 2.5 years now. I have a Rockhopper. I've had disk breaks put on. REplaced seat, replaced cranks and bottom brcaket, new tyres and fully serviced it.
I ride in the week at night and at the weekend in Essex (Danbury, Thorndon, Epping). I've been to Wales the last 2 summers too.
But do I need a new bike ? Everyone I ride with has slowly upgraded their starter bikes and now riding posher steel hardtails, carbon fibre Scott's and full sussers. Maybe I need to. But.. will it really make my riding better (better as in faster, maybe easier and more fun).
I can keep up with most of my mates. The Rockhopper feels good. But ???
Any thoughts ?
