Walleee Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 (edited) New disc brake, front wheel and rear rim are pretty big changes though.Not really changing the ride of the bike much are they? The might be marginally lighter(they arn't even drilled), but I doubt they perform any better than the originals he had. New disc brake - Looks to be replaced with some random cable disc. To be honest I havnt heard that Hayes mx cable discs are the shit for trials, so I'd image any performance increase you did get from adding it could have been achieved by buying a decent set of V pads, saving you money(and weight) on having to get a new front hub/wheel, allowing you to spend it on something which would actually make a differance.....Sorry, but I think your 'upgrades' (or rather downgrades as I now see it) were done in the interest's of aesthetics rather than improving the ride/feel of the bike.EDIT:here is a pic of the original saracen spec:You replaced your rims with one's the same as are allready on the bike?
