Here's my trusty Norco beater setup for it's 4th winter of riding. I went SS half way through last winter as I was constantly having drivetrain issues, best upgrade ever. I also went with the rigid fork rather than the crappy elastomer suspension fork that it came with. I spent a whopping $250 on this bike and have replaced EVERY part minus the headset. This year I had to replace the wheels after my old, well used, Mavic Crosslands broke. The rear hub flanges started braking off but I thought the front would be fine so I ordered a Deore rear wheel. The day before my new wheel showed up the front hub flanges started breaking off! Should have got the pair, but luckily I had an old front wheel lying around that came off my wifes bike to keep me rolling.
