Re: Mayhem project
just hoping it rides OK once its together. Next job on the list is cleaning the componenets but I'm trying to get the d@#n rear mech to let go of the frame and its having none of it.
I intend to leave the BB in for now as it feels ok, plus I am assuming its italian threaded (could be wrong of of course) so would have nothing to replace it with anyway! Everything else just needs the old gunk scraping off and some nice clean gunk putting on. Keeping some of the parts that came with it but plenty of 'new' parts going to add:
forks: indy xc out coz they were a bit tatty, bomber z2 in (ex project vit t2)
wheels: LX/WTB out as a bit tatty, LX/D521s going in I think (ex zaskar). tyres TBC.
bars: xlite silver out as tatty, xlite reds going in (bought on here somewhere)
headset: diacompe out, shiny red king unit in. (swapped on here)
stem: specialized stem out, art stem in (ex zaskar)
chainset: LX at the mo, might change for a sugino set, might not.
saddle: vetta unit is ripped and tatty, have a similar unit in good nick for straight swap (ex backwoods)
shock: unsure of make on this (any ideas?), might change it if it doesnt ride well.
plenty to do still!
