Depends on what you want to do and if you were happy with the old setup. If you're working to a budget you're options are a little limited. Try asking yourself these questions 1 - was the old set up OK, do I need to upgrade ?
or do I just want a new toy [nothing wrong with that, we all love new gadgets, just be honest with yourself]. 2 - do I need new bits or will used ones do ? 3 - how much can I spend ?
You may find it's cheaper to buy a second hand carrera and strip it for the forks then keep / sell on the rest as spares or sell yours for spares and put the cash to a higher spec bike.

Cracking off the peg wheels for £150 (full set) are Mavic Crossrides. Worthy upgrade, poss out of budget though.
