I could prolly live with upgrade to;
2020 SHIMANO DEORE M5100 MTB Groupset 1x11 Speed 170MM/175MM 11-50/52T
sub £200 to replace SRAM 3x8 speed..
Current disk brakes are Avid elixir 1’s. I’m gonna get these serviced and replace both rotors for now, check bottom bracket, replace gear cables, no click on the front mech shifter, hmmm. Brakes upgrade later methinks to BB7’s, let’s see how much fun I have first with cleaning, bleed kits etc.. I’ve not paid any attention to MTB trends, disk brakes nor my bike since 2012. Cleaning this bike has been a cinch, though.
@Jeromeo sweet, I look forward to seeing on this thread

BB7s are not an upgrade imo.
You’d be far better off getting hydraulic -
Getting hold of Shimano kit is the problems. I bought a mix of Shimano 12 speed recently from Merlin for c £300. 1 wanted to keep it all Shimano , which meant changing my freehub for a microdrive one . You would not have that problem with 11 speed and could avoid it with a sram 12 speed cassette. And yes to Shimano deore disc over bb7 . I have Bb7s on two bikes which are ok but denotes are great.

What’s you brake budget?
If you’re not wanting to spend vast amounts and want new I’d suggest Deore or SLX.
Good performance, easy to bleed
