    Yeah my mistake I meant bar h. I'd really like to go there sometime. We do a lot of dirt biking just outside Muenster on the river so it wouldn't be too bad of a drive for me :)

    Im no expert but I've heard the best way to shave weight is wheels and tires. I personally would leave it stock because that bike is awesome as is.

    yea but it really depends on your local terrain and what kind of riding that you do. if you are a pure cross country rider you would want lighter tires and wheels, but if you are a more of a all-mountain rider you might want tires with a little more tread and stronger wheels.

    When it comes to upgrading bikes (road and mountain) you need to set them up with what fits your needs. On my mountain bike I have tires that work well in sand, but they still are relatively lighter so I can still accelerate well.

    IMHO I would leave your (jodiddly33) bike the way it is for now until you break something or need to upgrade it to fit your needs on the trail.
