I’m planning to upgrade this carrera titán x for downhill prob not realistic but what shock would I need and hubs? Prob only planning to upgrade these I got like 400 poond budget second hand parts I don’t mind. Btw got this in a bargain.
before tou change the shock and hub, there are other thungs which (from my own experience as well) are waaay more important. change the tires (or at least the front) for something more agressive. its gonna make a huge difference. next is brakes. if you can, get at least 180mm discs (yours look pretty small, thats why i pointed it out). get some grippy pedals, its your contact point w the bike. and the other contact point is the grips. get some good grips youa re comfortable with. and play around w the cockpit, roll the bars, get a feel for what you like. this will all change the whole bike , trust me.
