Hey i just wanted to hear from you anyone if they got any little/cheap upgrades for their bike that made a difference? I was looking into getting a RaceFace bashring for my 2005 specialized hardrock pro disk until i found this http://www.jensonusa.com/store/produ...+Bashring.aspx is it true that it eliminates the biggest front chainring?? and if i were to get one what configuration would i go with because i use the largest chainring a good amount of the time since I use my bike for minor errands around town.

Another little thing i was looking at was getting a Shimano Deore LX rear deraileur, and from what ive read its the best bang for the buck deraileur. What other little upgrades did many of you do that were on a budget that either reduced weight or improved performance?? and also it would be nice if you could name the place where you bought them from if it was from an online dealer. thanks again
