I have a 08 Specialized Rockhopper (the basic one) ive upgraded a few things, what should i change next?
i started cycling 5 months ago when i bought a mtb Specialized rockhopper (the basic one) since then ive combined road and mountain training. i ride 55 km a day (road) and 30 km mountain on weekends.
THIS IS WHAT IVE CHANGED SO FAR:
shifters: SRAM attack twist shifters 9 speed, (sram x-4 8 speed)
cassette: SRAM 950 9 speed 11-34 (SRAM pg830 8speed 11-32)
chain: cant remember
derailleurs: front and back Shimano XT (SRAM X5 rear and Shimano Altus front)
handlebar: TITEC
bar ends: EC 90
tires: Panaracer fire XC pro 26 x 2.1 (Specialized Fastrack lk sport)
seat: Specialized Dolce body geometric gel saddle
what do you think i should change next and for what?
also: im a 5'5 110 lbs woman
Actually, at this point, it's time for you to STOP upgrading the Rockhopper.
Every rider reaches a point at which 'The One' bike stops being a viable option. Any changes you're making are going to compromise one or the other of your riding disciplines.
I'd recommend that you decide how much you want to focus on road riding vs mountain riding and let your decision work from that. If you want to go primarily road riding, it would best to leave this bike as your mountain ride and start investing in a real road bike. Likewise, if you feel your interests reside mostly in the mountains you should look into getting a more capable mountain ride.
Your Rockhopper will never be a dominant steed for either the road or the mountains but you can make a few changes to make it plenty capable for either. If you want more info, feel free to PM me and I'd be happy to go into more detail with you.
