Mountain Biking - upgrade bro!

giant stp-2, heres what i really want done.

instead of 2 speed front derailer, get a single speed and but a chain protector on
does anyone have any suggestions of brands, costs, problems?

i know that the rear derailer might be a problem, so i was considering investing in a smaller one, depends though, again suggestions would be greatly appreciated.


also goign to buy some pedals, i think there called "50's" or sumthing

Crank Brothers 50/50's.

the pedal that solved a problem that never existed.

i love those pedals, and i don;t actually have a problem with mine i just like the look of them and the 'custamizabilty' ,if thats a word, that they provide

Ok, what kind of riding are you doing?

Im assuming dirtjumping, and trail riding/downhill, considering you ride an stp, no?

Don't listen to MulletArgyleDumbass. He has no idea what he's talking about, he just goes with what anyone on this forum says.

No he doesnt, he picks thing that look nice...

Everyone else says theyre crap, but hes right dammit.
Or vice versa. But yes, dont listen to him. Hes an idiot.

what the hell? i don't pick things because they look nice, i pick things because they work well; how is a hussefelt a 'nice looking' crank? a crank is a crank, who cares as long as it works? i suggested it because i have ridden bikes with the huss' cranks and i liked it. and no, i'm not an idiot, but thanks for trying to join the bandwagon with everyone else in the "MulletArgyleDumbass" game, i appreciate it.

they are talking about the fact that you want a green fork.

i don't care about that, i'll get the white one if it's that big of a deal, and yeah green's my favourite colour, so what?:p

we are just saying, that your better off with a bike that is thirty different colors and looks like a whale threw it up, but works incredibly well. than one that is your favorite color and only your favorite color, but works like crap.

You're a ****ing moron, stop posting.

yeah, i know:p. Right now (from my parts list) my bike is going to be: yellow, black, white, green, gold, silver, red, and blue - 'vivid', eh?

You're a ****ing moron, stop posting.

thanks

why do people flame eachother, just f' off if your not gonna help

thanks for whats there so far, ill check it out

thanks

youre welcome. For a complete ******bag.

Piss off already, do us all a favour. Youre making kids on forums worldwide look like complete idiots.

To the OP: Whats your budget?
Od say E-13 for the bashy/guide and 08 Shimano Shadow if youre concerned about it getting damaged.

budget is about 4-500 aussie dollars

I knew a guy called Jordan Wallace once.
Anyway.

It could easily be done. LBS says 08 XT Rear Der. (Shadow) was 140 i think.
Still not sure what kind of riding youre doing, but you can get a Gamut G25 from XXIV for 230 AUD.
Gamut are a very well respected product, especially over here.

i wasn't telling you to make it as many colors as possible, i was saying the best components you can afford in whatever color it comes in, don't make it look like a whale's projectile vomit.

I know, i wasn't looking for a 'colour scheme', just quality components however they come:)

to BFG: lighten up!
