Why, what don't you like about the handlebars and stem? If weight is the issue, I can think of better places to save it.

I guess the question is too open. What are you wanting to achieve, what type of riding do you want to do (although the area you posted it in gives a hint)?

The more info you provide, the better the advice can be given! :)

There are plenty of 'decent' brands, but as scratchy says it comes down to application. Personally for DH and FR I prefer SIC bars and stems. For XC and trail riding Easton. Or whatever I've got lying around at the time.

yeah my main riding in xc racing but yeah the reason i wanted to upgrade these parts is like on some bikes if it has something thats realy good another thing might be average like a norco i saw had like xt gears, manitou scarab forks and stuff but had so1e hayes which are pretty crap like if u bought the bike the first thing u would change i think are the breaks but yeah i was just thinking cause the XR stuff looked average i could lose some weight there but yeah ill have a look at getting lighter wheels the wheels areWTB SPEED disk pro eyeletted rims with shimano m475 hubs and wbt spokes how much would it be to make that lighter ? what are some good wheels?

thanks alot for your help:)
