Nothing major, just convert to tubeless. Still researching tires. I currently ride WTB's Velociraptors and love them. Just getting tired of changing/patching tubes.

Ive been thinking about an adjustable seatpost lately....well, the last few months at least. I've also been drooling over the Hope Moto V with ventilated rotor for my front brake, this I have been thinking of for well over a year. I've had the same hydros since '02, and its time for something new. It really is a tossup which of these two I get next. The adjustable seatpost cost a lot less, but I feel I actually need the front brake more...I guess I'll just think about it for another year or so... :)

I got a Gravity Dropper just because I got a good deal on it. It is worth every penny!! With you doing a lot of riding at La Costa, I think you'll like it a lot.

It's not like it's necessary--it's not. However--it is SO cool to be able to get the seatpost out of the way on the techy stuff. You'll also be able to drop it on every little thing--just because you can. Good disc brakes are a good upgrade too, but I would recommend an adjustable height seatpost to anyone.

You forgot to mention how fun it is to make fun of the people you're riding with b/c they don't have one. :D

I'm thinking about PUSHing my Rp23 too, so if you go for it make sure to post up a review of your experience...I'd be curious if its worth it.
