Hey all,
So, I have been on my GF Cobia for 3 months now. Love riding a whole lot more than I thought I would. Turns out....shoulda saved up a few more $$ and gone with the upgrade to my 29er. (the X-Cal has a Fox suspension, hyrdraulic discs and a few better components)
I know that to increase my enjoyment out there, I will need to upgrade a few things and wasn't sure where to begin. The upside is that the frame that Gary Fisher uses for the Cobia and up is the exact frame it uses on his top of the line 29er hardtail so that will never need to be upgraded. (obviously unless I went to a full suspension rig)
Of course, if it makes more sense to try and sell the bike now and try and buy 09 X-caliber, maybe that is the better route to go.
On a side note...I wont be able to get out and ride again until Monday and it is killing me.
