Well I have the burley limbo and I had planned on upgrading it. so far I changed out most of the drivetrain. I went with sram x9 rd 9 speed cogs click shifters and new fd. Avid single digit 7 brakes too. Got a rans seat base now.
I can’t see adding a new crankset to it as I doubt it would give me much of any improvement. But I do need a new set of pulleys as the rumble drives me nuts. I can hit teracycle on the way to work so that’s easy.
The last three things I could think of is a better wheel set to use narrower tires. But I just put a armadillo 1.5” tire on at 100 psi in back so would there be much of a difference? The front wheel unless I have suspension I don’t know if I would want that tire so hard. Going up small ledges in paths and such can give you a pretty good jolt with the stock tire at 35psi.
So I was thinking of two things a front suspension fork or a fairing. The suspension forks are a bit less http://www.hostelshoppe.com/cgi-bin/search.pl?category=607200
Then the whole fairing package. Though I am not sure what fork to get since I have never had one.
Though I may be able to do the faring if I make my own mount for it.
Any other idea’s?
