Hi everyone,
I've been scouting the forums for a couple years now on and off and finally had some questions. Back in 2011 I bought a Trek 3900 disc and have been having fun with it since. But now it needs some fixes. I've contemplated the just buying a new bike but I don't have more then $500 to spend right now and that's after 3 years of riding so I think I'm better off just upgrading. I have 2 areas i want to change out. My wheelset and my fork.
From my research here, I've decided on the suntour epicon to replace the suntour xct on there now. That leaves me with like $300 to put towards wheels. I have Bontrager 550, 36-hole right now. They have untrued a couple times and I'm not a hard rider. My tires 26 x 2.0" Bontrager LT3 seems to suck also. Never really gripped vey well.
So those are my only 2 gripes with the bike. It's a light bike. I've never had a problem with the brakes and the gears. That's what discourages me from a more expensive bike also seeing that those components have been fine all this time. i got into mountain biking but never got super into it. i ride maybe once every month or 2 as it is now. So does anyone have any suggestions for me?
