the forks are quite good, easily adjustable. the wheels spoil it for me. constantly tightening the spoke and the disks warp easily, but the brake callipers and levers are mint.
Think ill buy some new strong wheels for it. Any suggestions??
Like any upgrade it depends on your budget but if you really fancy a top set of wheels it's hard to beat Stan's Olympic rims. Seriously light and strong. especially if you mount them on Hope Pro II hubs with DT Swiss Revolution spokes. Expect to pay around £400 for a set up like that though from www.justridingalong.com Slightly cheaper and only about 50g a rim heavier would be DT Swiss 4.2. If you want a cheaper alternative to a Hope Pro II hub the Shimano XT hub is hard to beat for the money!

Hard to rate a bike with no component info but as I'm a big fan of Giant hardtails have a solid 8/10. :)
