So i have my heart set on the 456carbon(crotic soul too exspencive for me :roll:)

Question is:with the SLX trail, do i upgrade the wheels or the fork?

Wheels upgrade to
On-One MAX Adaptable Maxle Wheelset 26inch £200

Or
do i upgrade the fork and if so which one?
atm i tempted by the RockShox SID RLT TI Dual Air 120mm Fork

but suggestions welcome as allways 🙂

¿456 Carbon that comes with 140mm Rev's?

Why would you want to put a 120mm fork on it?
If "I" did it be the "Reba RLT Ti Dual Air 120mm Fork" but then I'm not a weight weenie and would prefer the stiffer fork. Though simply I'd prefer a fork with an bolt thru axle of some sort.

My choice would be the wheels, & not just because I personnally dislike shimano hubs intensely, the seals on deore hubs are reportedly quite rubbish from reports on here, If you do get them, the stock advice would seem to be strip them down, to add additional grease and re-tighten the cones properly (reports suggest come over tightened).
