    I just purchased a pair of Rockshox Duke XC tonight and getting them installed tommorow.

    My question is.... I have a KHS Comp Montana that has a dia-compe Aheadset on it , what I think are
    cheap bars and the clamp that holds the bars looks to me like a cheapie.

    I want to go to black components ( like the stealth look ) ... What should I look at getting to
    basically replace the front end of my bike. It has Deore LX all the way around which has worked
    awesome for me thus far, so this is my only concern at the moment. ( WELL , maybe a new seat post in
    black too )

    Thanks to all who reply and sorry if I dont know all the parts technical terms.

    That is a statement not a question.

    I've spent most of my money on mountain biking and windsurfing. The rest I've just wasted.

    I would answer all your questions with the single word "RaceFace." Maybe not for the headset - even
    though RF sets rule, you can get a cheapo (but still brand name) headset for under $20 that does
    just as well...Ritchey Logics are fine, and you can find them for $10 now and then Provided you
    install it right, and maintain it once in a while.

    Thomson stuff sucks, and it sucks even harder when you misspell it "Thompson" you freaking hosers.

    I am not Canadian, and I apologize to all my slow-talkin' beer-drinkin' sister-kissin' brothers to
    the north for aping you culture there...and for insulting you here. You know I love Canadah, ey.
    Look how hard I pimp RaceFace.
