I'd rather spend that money on things like upgraded shocks forged cranks etc. I'm not going to be taking this thing down any ski runs next summer and I'm bothered by brother's horrible luck with his '04 Giant Iguana's disks. They seam like such a gimmick at this price range and for a guy my size I think I want to emphasize stronger compenents wherever possible. Again I'm no expert please tell me if I'm totally off base here.
