Thanks for the input to all!

Hello, I'll sign up for a MTB race next month with a Scott Blackstone (picture has old Schwalbe Hurricane tires). I've owned some Schwalbe Smart Sam Performance 26x2.25 for fun rides. I heard putting few PSI to the inner tubes would do the job. Any other tips should I take into consideration...

Good luck! Seems a nice project, not much to change though.

I also have a STX groupset on a Merida Redskins but in this case everything is working OK for commuting, so no need for changing components for now. Thanks for the advise. The 200GS might need the same modifications as you described.

Hello, I have a 200GS system on a Giant Hard Line 7200. Bought some Altus components, like rear derailleur and cassette cs-hg31-8 and I'm planning to upgrade the freehub body from 7 to 8 speed. Do you know how can I proceed for this? Any ideas where to look up to it?
