Your biggest upgrade for 2008!

I might try to grow some leg muscles.

Equipment upgrades this year will focus on a getting a f/s rig for my wife (and maybe a baby )

Otherwise it'll just be a matter of replacing/repairing stuff as I break/wear it.

edit:
....unless a deal comes my way on a road bike

 

I9's

save $2-$3 a day for the whole year, purchase this time next year. I have to justify being able to find blue spokes somehow....right?.....right?

 

My upgrade

is coming right after xmas (day after). New set of wheels for the SS:bang:

The Sultan is set for now unless a new fork comes out in 08

 

chris king hubs on dt swiss FR2350s!!! pleeease santa[-o-]

 

Gucci

I am going get some Gucci fabric and reupholster all of my SDG saddles for starters. Here's the rest:

• New lowers for both of my FOX 40s (white ones!)
• E13 LG1 systems for all of my bikes
• Sunline extra-wide bars for my DH bikes
• Troy Lee Steve Peat replica helmet
• All new racing kit for Team Bike Co.
• Black TLD gloves for practice, white TLD gloves for race
• Shimano DH shoes and Shimano XC shoes
• 10 pairs of Active Board Shop socks
• All new 661 armor (carbon knee shins with gaskets)
• Biggest upgrade is my team. If it works to plan, it's going to be absolutely sick!

I love my bikes right now so it's just little goodies and maybe fresh powder coats for all (white!!!).

 

I'm thinking I need a forklift upgrade for 08

:-k

 

Now that I have basically 1 of everything--old school full rigid, SS, FS trail, Freeride/DH, 29er, HT and road I don't really have anything too big planned.

My plans do include:

--Crossmax wheelset for the 29er
--Niner frame to replace the Zion
--Fox 36 TALAS for the Yeti
--Bling/lighter wheelset for the SS
--White Industries Eno cranks for the SS
--Cheap 4-5" travel FS frame to throw my HT parts on
--Maybe a Yeti ASX frame or a Transition frame to replace the Haro

No real hurry on any of it. When I do get around to it, it'll probably go in that order though.

 

Bwahaha! Yeah, me too!

 

Replacing your RFX frame would be ghey...

 

planning on
1. buying a coworkers 29er for commuting to work.
2. get a yz 250
3. get a new trail bike
4. lighten up the dh bike or get a new Sunday :bang:
5. take at least 1 good mtb trip (moab,mammoth,whisler)
6. the big one a used truck or van.

 

My upgrade is, hopefully, a job offer for a great position in SLC, Utah. 15 minutes from Wasatch powder and some of the best MTB'ing in the country, 2 dj parks, lift accessed downhill, moab and virgin, and a job that has the flexibility to enjoy those things. :beer:

 

I just wanna have the time to ride the 3 new bikes I got in 2007!
now 2009 is a whole 'nother story...:lol:

 

I agree what Allison said. Lungs, Legs, and success at my new bizness. Not too much to ask for, me thinks....:-k

 

I cracked two steel frames this year (too many miles?). Now I'm on scandium.

 

A cool new free ride rig but I think thats a pipe dream as I purchased three new bikes this year. I decided to blow what little money I had set aside for some parts or the Bullit frame on my wife for X-mas. I think that after three bikes she deserves it. Other than that some minor gear and lots of riding!

 

A new truck, that's bigger, faster, and gheyer then old truck.

 

My biggest upgrade - make some more time go ride.

 

That's...

scandalous!

 

Hmmm, dunno how much more I can upgrade the Schwinn cruiser. Pretty satisfied with the setup as it is. Amazingly I don't have any plans to buy anything special like I have in past years, just replacement parts for wear and tear.

Might put the bike fund money into tricking out the Miata now.

 

Biggest upgrade for 2008?

i don't know, maybe another bike with more travel something like an Iron Horse - xxxxxxxxx from The Path, im waiting for the path sale on '08. :lol:
