Excellent. Looking lovely. I can see an interesting conversation with my girlfriend when the dishwasher is called into action.
What setting did you use? :D

Dedicated Rapid* Setting :wink:

Re:

Pulled at a Thread on this yesterday, and glad I did.. Thought I could get away without a complete Bearing Assemblies Rebuild as they seemed quite smooth.. But when I'd removed the Chainset and "span" the BB Spindle, the feeling told a different story.. So out it came..

BB & HS out, time for a proper degrease..

AntiSeize on the Threads, Grease in the Cups, back in the Frame..

Re:

Headset was the same; felt smooth at the bars, but when the stem came out, "spinning" the fork told me it hadn't been regreased in a while..

Old Grease stinks.. Check the blacker lower bearing race; a few Trails Worth of Gunk there..

So, Cups pressed in, Races greased, nicely tuned & tightened..

Like I said, gone back a few stages, but now the base is solid. Have some 2mm Cables on order which will do the braking justice 8)
