Upgrade
What changes would you make on a Trek Fuel EX 5?
What is the first item (or make it top three items) you would replace on a Trek Fuel EX 5?
I’m looking at getting this bike, but are aware that most factory bikes are not perfect, and that most times you would like to make some amendments to them. So I’m wondering what you would change first, maybe even from day one?
Here’s a link to the specs of the Fuel EX 5:

Jamis trail X3 upgrade
Hi all
Curious to see what you think is the better more cost effective solution to a better ride. Currently have a Jamis trail X3 2009 which cannot currently handle the type of riding I would like to do eg. drops, small jumps etc standard trail riding / tech. so I am considering upgrading some of the components to make it a better ride or should I just get a new XC bike ? any feedback of your thoughts and recommendations of parts to upgrade or quality XC bikes that ride well and are durable would be great.
thanks
Matt
