Well Mr. Warp and Mr. Rzoz have covered the weekend events, what I can tell of Expobici is that I scored a set of cheap wheels ($1600 with 11-34 cassette), this are the the same ones that I have on the Merida but with mountings for discs... So today I took the bike to a Competent Wrench in order to finish this build:
- Cutting and replacing the standard Hope lines for the braided ones.
- Centering the calipers and bleeding the system.
- Dialing derrailleurs, cutting the chain and giving the correct torque to all components.
- Setting shock pressure.
There are still some items missing, the original set of wheels is still 2-3 weeks away from here, I lended a race face seatpost meanwhile the Thomson one arives.
So this weekend I'm riding on the Flux!!!!! Weeeeeeeeeeee!!!!! Maybe on saturday I'll just seat the brake pads and on sunday I'll try something not too extreme...
I want to make sure everything works fine while the bike still is on D.F.
