Was slightly panicked to see they were shorter, but thankfully proved to be long enough, phew! :roll:
Isn't it great when you solve a problem?
Only a little one this, but after a strip down and clean up, the hubs needed a couple of new cones. Bodies fine, thank goodness! Thankfully I had a spare rear one, but the front one that was on it's way out, proved to be a bit more problematic. Nothing suitable from the spare hub I had, but I did find one from a road Ultegra hub, on the left in the picture, the knackered one to the right
Also fitted the tyres along with the 12-26 cassette, then the mechs and did a grip swap around, as I think there may be too much yellow going on when the stem arrives. The yellow ones pictured are too thin, but I don't want lock ons, so will be searching for something else, should I stick with ESP. Finished off today by fitting the Avid SD7 V-Brakes, along with the XTR front mech.
Still not made up my mind about which controls to use, will see how it looks nearer the time.
