my friend has just brought a brand new scott genius carbon 29er.£3000 and has upgraded everything apart from the wheels…wtf

Yes and….? His bike, his cash etc. Perhaps he might offer some parts cheap to his mates!?

sorry. hes upgraded the wheels. only things left are the forks shock and frame from the original bike, he aint rid it yet

And? If there is a frame and forks you want then it is (often) cheaper to buy a full bike, sell the components and put what you want on it.

oh ok. just seems a little silly. upgraded from shim slx to 1 year old xt. im thinking he shud just wait till they break or wear out then do the change? hes only gonna put the slx in the shed
