Sounds like you got a nice bike. I upgraded my shifter/brake levers to XT and my derailuers to XTR and changed to a 9 speed cog but didn't give much thought to the shock. I've never ridden a suspension bike so didn't really know what to look for. I am a bit concerned about the wheels but I'll just deal with that after my fat a$$ bends a wheel or two
Do you think that the Manitou Axle is worth upgrading the springs in or should I just bite the bullet and upgrade the whole shock?
Thanks!
