realistically i would say my limit will be near the $2k mark. my wheelset is garbage and the 3rd one ive had on the bike. i beat my first two to the point that the freewheel was broke and the rim more resembled the letter s than a functional rim. those will need replaced with a disc compatible wheel, the ones on it are so heavy that the bike is noticeably more sluggish. I ride a good deal on pavement and the trails here are hardpacked single track trails, lots of roots and creek crossings. not alot of rocks or major downhill. I'd say its a 60/40 split on road and off road. Thankfully my LBS is very helpful when i go to pick out parts that they make sure im buying something that fits. Thank you all so much for the great advice. My main goal is to drop weight and make it perform better, looks are a little important too, i wont lie!
