hi guys,
this is my first post here and I'm hoping for some advice!!
Essentially I have a Raleigh Dynatech Mt-5 that I've owned from new since 1996 and I believe its a 1994 frame from what I can remember. I use it as my main bike and I love it!! Ive done over 200km on it this year alone...
The only problem is pretty much everything on it is from the late 90's - early 2000's and I'm starting to need to upgrade some bits (Well I should have done it ages ago...), but my bike tech knowledge has faded through the years.
currently it has an original set of rock Shox Indy SL forks on the front with a Rond headset. These bits are both super old and I really want to replace them!!
I believe the frame takes a 1 /18 headset from looking on here, but was hoping for some advice on what I can replace them with, I found a Shimano Xt HP-M736 threaded headset on Ebay for a good price, but should I be looking for something more modern and versatile than that (that maybe isn't threaded as well)??
on the forks front I am totally lost, I'd like to stay with suspension forks, but has anyone got any advice on what to look for, I am runing v-brakes currently and think I'd have to stay with those as I have combined xt gear shifter and brake levers.
any advise on what I should do would be much appreciated!!
