Ive upgraded the shock to a monarch rc3 and still cant keep up with the boys.
Should I sell and get an xc bike ad only ride at cannock.
Or purchase a different frame maybe that components will fit on as its like new really.
Any recommendations on frames accepted that this 370 pounds brand new shock will fit on
you seem to have fallen into the trap of thinking a lighter/better/newer bike will make you fitter 😉
training, and pedal harder, unless you’re racing or out on all dayers/6hr + rides then a slightly lighter bike will only make a small difference in the grand scheme of things.
maybe look at your tyre choice though, some lighter, faster rubber can make a world of difference and is a relatively cheap and easy way to get some extra zip without much bother.
