Continental Mountain King II tyres were changed for the same but the UST version. 2.2 for the rear wheel and 2.4 for the front. UST tyres are rather heavy (850-870gr each), but they will help me not to get pinch flats on rocky trails. I don't have UST rims, but my front UST tyre keeps air even without sealant!
I have bought new pedals - Shimano M530 Trail with cage but I don't feel much difference between M530 and M520.
I have also installed new bushing hardware for the rear shock. TFTuned heavy duty kit and offset kit.
Here is the current specification of my bike. The weight is about 14kg (30.9lbs):

hi, i have a jamis durango comp 2012. im planning of upgrading it into all mountain set-up. what can you suggest? thanks
ReplyDeleteHi Jamis Durango is a crosscountry hardtail, isn't it? I think that the best way to make it "AM" is to put wide but lightweight tyres (2.3-2.4 is fine), install a shorter stem and wider handlebar. No need to spend much money on this bike. It's better to ride "as is" with some modifications and leave some money for a new AM bike.
Deletewhats your hubs? :)
ReplyDeleteI don't know ). It seems to me that there are some cheap Formula hubs. It is ZZYZX stock Corratec wheelset and it's rather heavy (about 2kg)
DeleteI was wrong. ZZYZX hubs looks like Hope Pro 2 hubs! The front hub has the same dimensions as Hope hub. Rear ZZYZX hub from Corratec X-Force has aluminium cassette body and is rather lightweight and durable! Corratec has also installed butted spokes on this bike!
