Hi, I have a Giant Terrago which I use for what I guess you could call cross-country. My problem is I have started using it more aggressivly for jumping etc, is it suitable for this sort of thing? Should I either do it up to make it tougher and more robust (if so what should I put on forks etc) or buy I more suitable bike? What does anyone think of the Giant Acid?

Cheers

i would think it's not up to spec

what sorta budget you on?

i reckon a whole nwe jump bike might be a good idea, i'm not sure about frame on that, or any other components, but i doubt they'd be strong enough

sorry, forgot to mention if I was to buy a new bike £500 would be the max price.
Thanks

depends how much money you have......im not that familiar with the terrago....im guessing basic hardtail?

If your short of money then i'd just jump with it and thrash it, whilst saving for a more jump biased frame/bike.......also depends if your just going to jump or whether you want to try and do xc as well?

i think crc has some dmr bikes which are pretty much designed for jumping, not sure about prices though
