      Since a link is always helpful 2012 Rockhopper 29"

      Nothing next to the fork, drivetrain, shifters and breaks. But this is just a personal opinion and it always depends on your riding style

      Personally: I’m not a fan of hydraulic brakes (mechanical brakes are so much easier to deal with and I dont like worrying about the fluid and the hoses that go along), so I would change em over to BB7’s. The derailleurs could be beefed up a lil. I once had an Alivio rear derailleur and changed it for a Shimano XT it was a day and night difference. The fork could definitely be better; something with a bit more extensive tune-ability. But one thing I will say that you would want to change out immediately are those plastic pedals cause they aren’t worth crap. You will break em… guaranteed. All personal opinion of course.
