I'm looking to join my local rad club as part of a 12month plan to build endurance for a multi day MTB race.
I have a little used Carrera Vanquish running 10speed; my question is, is it worth upgrading components on the bike for this purpose, replacing them or getting a new bike?
I dont have £,00000000's to spend as the MTB budget is getting bigger...
I like the Carrera, it fits in the leg wonderfully even if it is about an inch long on top, despite replacement shorter stem etc.
My biggest issue is with the gears, I feel the groupset is poor quality, and HATE having only 10speed!
After that, the wheels (rims are ok but the hubs stink) and maybe a carbon fork?
I'd also be interested in any thoughts on shorter stems, my replacement is a Bontrenger...
Thanks
