hello. I'm wondering if it's worth buying this bike. In my country, they sell a very well-maintained 2020 bike for €350. It's worth it. Thank you.

Can you upgrade suspension on scott aspect 960 and if yes, what is the best fork for one?
@phlr
4 ай бұрын
Tricky thing is that it has to be a straight steer fork. Most higher end forks are tapered. For this bike the most I would consider is a rocksocks recon or a suntour epixon.

Nice upgrades. I have the Aspect 950 and I did some upgrades too. First, I upgraded the transmission. I went for Deore 11 speed - the whole setup; the shifter, chain, cassette, derailleur, cranks. It’s a night and day difference when changing gears. The whole bike is way more silent and lighter too. I also upgraded the seat - had the same Syncross and now I have Riderace Memory Foam one. Lastly, I changed the pedals to SQ lab pedals. I have a nice bike bag that fits on the frame to hold my phone and other small items. I love it!

Standard Shimano HG hub. The newer microspline is for 12 speed so it’s not compatible with this hub. Usually you find this hub in bikes that are 8,9,10 or even 11 speed. If you have a 7 speed you may have a freewheel instead of a cassette. In that case it would not be compatible with this groupset

Tx505 are made to accommodate a 10s cogs at max. Fitting tx505 with 11s cogs will either: the locknut ring will make a contact with your frame, or the 11s cogs will not fit entirely in your freehub body. The best way is to measure your freehub body, disregard the spline spacing near the hub. An 11s cogs should measure around 36.8mm.
