I bought a 2015 Trek X Caliber 8 the other week. I plan on riding it stock for the next couple of months. But then I'll probably upgrade some parts on it. What should I look at first? Here is a link to the specs

Forgot to say I already upgraded the pedals

Tires,grips,maybe saddle.When you start breaking/wearing out stuff ,replace those.

Any recommendations for a tubeless tire?

 

[Wisconsinite762]

Yeah, the suggestions rangeriderdave made are going to be the best places to put your money at the moment. You've got a nice bike, get out and ride!

I bought an X-Caliber 8 couple of weeks ago! I replaced the saddle right away. I've been shopping for pedals. What pedals did you get? TIA.

I'm keeping the rest of the bike stock.

Why don't you go tubeless tomorrow? The rims are supposed to be tubeless ready. The tires will seal or they won't. If they don't, you haven't really lost anything.

The wheels jump out at me. If you ride in crappy weather, the hubs may get pretty gnarly.

How's the fork doing for you? Are you using all the travel? Bottoming out?

What do I need to go tubeless? I'll do that as soon as possible once I know what to buy. Also the fork seems to be doing fine for now. And for pedals I bought deity compounds. They got good reviews and only cost $45

Tape, sealant, and valves. Also a way to seat your tires. Some people report being able to do it with a floor pump, but mine needed a compressor. So I ended up having my shop do it. Once seated, I had no trouble inflating them with my floor pump from zero pressure. There's a little ledge thing in a tubeless ready rim that keeps the tire bead in the right place once it's there.

Your shop has everything and it's all relatively cheap. Or you can order it online. It gets discussed ad nauseum around here. A lot of people say Trek's tubeless supplies work awesome with their rims.

Tires are something you can get ideas from other riders in your area as to what works.

Due to hav a Trek with tubeless ready wheels. Go buy the trek rim trips and the valves along with some sealant and there ya go. Most shops will put it on for you if you buy the stuff from them.
Your tires are fine to go tubeless
I would upgrade those ASAP but That's me. I have had those tires and dislike them lol
They roll fast though

I'd tubeless, Saddle that fits your butt bone ( being a Trek you bougt. they should have a fitment tool at the shop for that) Brakes. and go ride
