'Out For Delivery'

[bvibert]

didn't you get a new bike @ beginning of season? now you are building one?

Jeff is hardcore like that!

Bike Frame? I thought you were just waiting for a new fork?

Waiting for that too, but I figured I would build up an all mountain hardtail as a second bike. The day after I ordered the new frame is when the fork went on my other bike, just my luck.

Box was waiting for me here today with cranks, cassette, and rear derailleur. Weird thing is I placed three orders last Friday, two from companies her is the US and one from England, the one from England makes it here first.

Now I just need to figure out if I am man enough to ride a 36 tooth front sprocket(with a 11-34 rear) or order a 32

Start a thread in the cycling forum, let us know what you're building and your progress as you build it up!

Jumping from a 32 up front to a 36 is a huge jump. When I went from 32 to 34 it was a hard adjustment.

CXP33s arrived today and the Conti GP4000s already had arrived. REAL big bone headed thing I did while doing the install. Did not think to look at the tape for a valve stem hole... figured I had to punch my own through the tape. So I go about putting the tape on and what not without realizing I had a second hole on the tape after I punched another one where the stem hole is. Surely I would realize the impending disaster that was about to happen when I discovered the hole was precut while installing the second rim tape on the second wheel? Nah... I say to myself, "oh that is convenient, must have missed that the on the first wheel."

Sure enough, I toss on new tubes and the new Conti's, pump the air up to 100 PSI on the front wheel and am getting ready to start pumping the rear wheel when PSSSSSWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. Doh! Pulled off the tire and tube and found the hole and that is just about when it hit me that I had a big fat hole in my rim tape right where a spoke ties into the rim.

Any ways, fixed that and I am good to go. I was surprised how easy it was ripping off the cassette. At least, I am surprised how easy it was once I had to drive to Walmart to get a larger wrench because my cheap 6" adjustable POS was not cutting it. After all was said and done... I should have taken tonight's ride before trying to learn some new tricks because it is now way too dark to head out.

But tomorrow morning should be fun.

Rhyno Lites with XT hubs?

Yep! hopefully they hold up for the mere $150 they cost!

I'm sure they'll be fine. I hear that BWW builds some good quality wheels.

Armor came in. Randi's raceface stuff is very nice and fits well. However I'm not too happy with the Fox Luanch pads. Not very comfortable and seem kind of flimsy. Going to return them and get another pair of RaceFace FR Rally armor to replace my old pair.
