I have a Specialized Rockhopper M4. I am wanting to get into mild dirt jumping and more technical MTB riding. I was thinking of upgrading Kenda Excavator tires for the muddy conditions, Ritchie grips or maybe OURY grips? Opinions? (I'm a girl so the pink appeals to me.) And upgrading to a marcozzi air fork, not the dirt jumper.
Is it worth the upgrade or will the frame not hold mild dirt jumping? I wont do anything over 5 feet and I weigh under 100 lbs fully geared up lol. I know the components wont last as I just had to straighten the disk brake, but I'll upgrade as needed.
I was going to order parts tomorrow, so should I or is my frame useless for mild dirt jumping? Since I'm going to order parts tomorrow (discount), I need some input ASAP. Thanks!!
Is there a recommendation of another forum as I want to build a decent DJ bike asap.
