And soon I will need to upgrade the rear wheel too.
I plan to upgrade to 9 speed X9 shifters/Shimano HG-61 12-36T casette / and maybe upgrade the rear derailleur to X7. WTB Rocket V saddle (stock rails bent and broke)īlack Ops platform pedals (V12 copy - not bad actually) Stan's Flow w/ XT hub front wheel / butted spokes (stock rim got bended) - stock rear wheel for now SRAM PG-850 cassette + KMC X8.99 chain (stock ones wore out) Shimano ES25 BB (stock - still working great!) Shimano Deore M521 crank w/ ocatlink splines to match stock BB (stock rings wore out) Shimano Altus FD (stock) / SRAM X-4 RD (stock) / X4 shifters (stock)Īvid BB7 brakes (much nicer than the BB5s it came with), stock levers Rockshox Reba RL (2012) dual air 100mm (I love this thing) I spend money on bike shit not camera shit. (Not pictured) Shimano M530 clipless pedals (love them).Mavic Crossride wheelset + new hubs (can't remember the name, they're decent).Big ring removed w/Raceface bashguard in its place. Shimano SLX 3-speed crank (I'm a big fan of Shimano SLX, if you've noticed by now).Shimano SLX brakes w/ SLX 160/180 rotors w/ F/R SLX levers.Shimano SLX Front/Rear derailleur w/ F/R SLX shifters.Rockshox Recon Silver TK solo air 100mm.It feels good to me and I learned a hell of a lot with it. Plus, what can I say, I just like the bike. But the reason I went on with the upgrades is because I got all of them at great online deals either from places like Pricepoint or Jenson, or at Ebay. The retail value of all these upgrades exceed the total value of the bike. Disclaimer: I wouldn't normally recommend this, lol. So yeah, my basic little Hardrock has been somewhat transformed into quite a nice rig, I have to say. " Every cyclist has something to teach and something to learn."
