Mountain Bikeing – Upgrades for 2007 Specialized Hardrock Sport?
Hello — Last year I purchased a 2007 Specialized Hardrock Sport, It was my first year riding the trails, and I loved it. I do not want to get a new bike, as I still think I am in the beginning stages of riding, but I do like to hit some challenging trails. Does anyone recommend any types of upgrades that I could do that would make my bike somewhat better.
Features:
A1 Premium Aluminum frame, double butted TT, ORE DT, externally relieved head tube, reinforced disc mount, forged dropouts
RST Gilla Plus T7 fork, 100mm, Cro-Mo steerer, 30mm stanchions, coil MCU w/ preload adjust
Specialized 3D forged alloy stem, two bolt, 25.4mm, 10 degree rise
Specialized Enduro grips, dual density Kraton
Truvativ ISO Flow 3.0 crankset for Power Spline BB, replaceable rings
Shimano FH-RM30L rear hub, cassette, 36h, QR
Specialized Body Geometry, ATB saddle

okay i would recommend the following upgrades:
new fork. rockshox, manitou, and marzocchi make great reasonably priced forks which are a step above entry level. i’d go with a new rear derailleur. it will provide you with smoother shifting under stress and will be more reliable in the long run. another upgrade i would consider would be a set of disc brakes. you can go with either cable discs or hydraulic. for cable i’d go for the avid bb7 mechanical brakes. for hydraulic i wouldn’t go with anything except hayes HFX 9′s. tires can make a difference but the specialized tires on your bike should do fine. a new seat could be a smart upgrade for better comfort. that’s pretty much all of the basic upgrades to improve your bikes performance without breaking the bank. hope this helps
