Whats the best way to upgrade my mountain bike?

Answer 1

if the bike is worth upgrading look at trying to keep the weight down and make a lighter bike

Answer 2

What kind of bike do you have now?

Your bike may or may not be worth upgrading. Tell us what kind of bike you have and what you were thinking of doing to it, and then we could let you know if that's a good idea or not.

Answer 3

Add an extra wheel

Answer 4

#1 Worn out parts.

#2 Better grade parts.

Best bang for the buck, wheels and tires.

Answer 5

really depends on the bike and what style of riding your doing. you really need to be a little more specific

Answer 6

The best way is to replace parts that you find deficient or are worn 1st. This will vary for each rider and bike. Saddles, rear derailleur and pedals are common upgrades for MTBs.

Answer 7

Not enough information in this question to give a really good response, but assuming everything on your bike is functioning OK, then start with new wheels.  Wheels are rotating weight, and lighter wheels make the most dramatic difference in your performance.  Also, if you decide to buy a more expensive bike you can use the new wheels on that -- assuming you don't have a disk brake compatibility problem (wheels are either disk or not).

If it's just generally not a good bike it's normally less expensive to buy a complete, better-quality, bicycle.  It's a basic truth of economics that an assembled product sells for much more piece by piece.
