so just got my son a new to him giant mtx got it for x mas present.so I plan to replace the bars, front fork,riser,crank set, and maybe disc brakes for the rear only. in colorado the trails are up and down. so If he is going to ride with dad he needs low gears and alot of stopping power. so my questions are?
front fork ,ridged v- brake compatible. cheep light
fork must also go up throw frame so I will need a riser and bars may get carbon bars.
crank set to get his front gear to a 22 or lower ( it has a 38 rear and 28 front now ) I thought it would be a good weight loss and gearing help to change front gear and get ride of the steel.
any other help to lighten up this bike would be great. but I also have to keep the wife happy and not show her I am spending any more then like 20 here and 30 there on the bike.
