Re: Upgrades
"Brad McColm" <bmccolm@mb.sympatico.ca> wrote in message news:kFUcc.7960$uc5.18045@news1.mts.net... > What is the fastest way (other than the obvious trading up) to take some > weight off a Giant Boulder SE for around $300 canadian? > Brad: I wonder if it makes a great deal of sense to spend money to try to take weight off an already heavy bike. The type of bike the Boulder is, Mountain/Mix, uses relatively inexpensive (and relatively heavy) components. To replace wheels or components with lighter ones wouldn't gain you anything significant. To achieve a worthwhile weight loss might take some serious dollars, but then you still have a somewhat heavy frame. Might I sincerely suggest you ride your Boulder and enjoy it, meanwhile saving money (start with the $300cdn that you've budgeted for your weight loss) for a new lighter bike, later. You also will be in a better position to know what you want, need and like. And at the end of the riding season there are some fantastic deals to be had as dealers try to clear their showroom floors. |
