i give in what goes wrong?

my LBS is a trek dealer,he has a rumblefish inthe sale,looks a good deal,
btu then he showed me the fuel ex8 29er(2014) and that also took my eye.he also mentioned the superfly fs,but didnt have one in stock

downloaded roachford “cuddly toy” yesterday

thanks again for replies,
jono, just out of interest what would you suggest for the cassette,chainset/bb and forks,
will probably do wheels first as bike shop said they were on their last legs last time I was in

thanks

don’t think theres anything wrong with bike,ive had it a couple of years,
its my first full susser and I like it fine,just wasn’t sure if there is anything in particular that anyone would recommend for doing the rides mentioned(besides fitness)
ive got the money for some new wheels/tyres,christmas is coming and I may treat myself.didnt want to shell out too much and then wish i’d got something else

cheers

thanks for the replies,
jonba,i’m out on the bike every Wednesday/Tuesday and Saturday without fail,we try and do 15 to 30 mile at the moment ,depnding on work/family,i also do a bit of light running,plenty of walking,and some weight training once or twice a week.going to try and up the weekend mileage.possibly get some commuting in.
when the bike was last serviced in june ,my lbs recommended a wheel upgrade as my next choice,which he quoted at £300.
I was wandering would it be worth upgrading parts on mine,or maybe selling mine and using the extra money to get something more suitable?

thanks

thanks for the replies,
I’ve already been saving for some new wheels,a bike shop in wakefeild said he could do me a decent set for £300,so i’ll probably lean towards these.

cheers,
the pedals are brand new ,and i’d asked them to look at the bottom bracket while it was in the shop.
starting to worry me now

cheers,did you use a side entry one?

wondered about that,but it was ok before
