jugheaddave Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 feels brand new again. After new chain, chain rings and cassette,new XTR gear cables, serviced shock, replaced dust seals and oil change in fork, new rear wheel bearings, (and free wheel body, they were getting a little rough) new rear tyre, new BB external bearing (re-build) and serviced head set, and checked pivot bearing (had to service the two larger ones) All good to go, ready for SANI2C!! Any thing else I should do??
jugheaddave Posted January 14, 2009 Author Posted January 14, 2009 Did it all my self, I do this once a year normally, so I generally buy stuff that I need slowly throughout the year, and look for bargains. I got a lot of the stuff from CRC. I would guess about 1.5k...?(for the parts) and about 4 beers for me!! O ja, and I also bled my brakes!!
splat Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 Can I bring my bike around?Would 6 beers cover it?
jugheaddave Posted January 14, 2009 Author Posted January 14, 2009 Like I have said on here before, if being bike mechanic paid enough, I would do it full time.
Dirtbreath Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 When doing your drive train check the jockey wheels. These are usually overlooked and can cause severe head scratching episodes. Check that your hanger is hanging straight too. A new one wont gurantee this either. I would also recomend going full length cable outers especially when doing stage races.
jugheaddave Posted January 14, 2009 Author Posted January 14, 2009 do you find a big difference with full length outers??
Dirtbreath Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 They only do their job if you hit seriously muddy conditions. They dont work any smoother in my opinion just wont give up on you for much longer. You dont want crap with your cables and starting messing with your gears on a stage race. I believe that most gear niggles have their roots in the cable unless damaged by impact.
jugheaddave Posted January 14, 2009 Author Posted January 14, 2009 I find the XTR's work very well, but iI will consider the full length some time thanks
jugheaddave Posted January 14, 2009 Author Posted January 14, 2009 There it is!! http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v406/6/17/591936075/n591936075_1570947_2659.jpg
