Cabling Brakes and Gears

Today as much as I tried to gear the bike up and replace the cables. I really could not figure it out. So I had to get my LBS to help me out with it.

Other than that problem everything else on the bike is fixed and pretty much 90% completed.

It will be ready tomorrow at 4PM.

Didn't really trust myself that much to re-cable the breaks and gears. I have to ride back from work tomorrow, so need it done asap. I'll post some pictures up tomorrow.



P.s. I didn't give up, I still want to learn how to re-cable the brakes and gears. This is the only set back holding me from riding home from work tomorrow ;)

Wheels assembeled

Managed to get the wheels and tyres all assembled today.

At first I did it wrong and thought the tyres were too big. I tried my spares first. These were donated by eastie.

This video helped with fixing up the tyre's and tubes on Mountain Bike Maintenance : Install a Bicycle Tire


I did however manage to get tyres from my LBS too for $60 both.

I don't have bolts for the rotors, so will have to pay my LBS a visit tomorrow or on Wednesday to get the bolts. 

Hopefully I can ride by Wednesday .
