Completed the build

Jut got the bike back from YarraValleyCycles at 4 pm. Purchased a helmet and a lock for my bike too .

$59 for the helmet and $20 for the BBB lock.

Since it is my first mountain bike with a front suspension I could feel the difference riding it home from the supermarket today.

I'm going to fit the lights in to ride later tonight.

Will be riding the bike to commute from work later tonight.

My finished Bike 

I would like to thank everyone who has helped me in this build, particularly the guys on Rotorburn.com , BicycleNetworkAustralia and YarraValleyCycles. Thank you for all your support and help with the build. 

This does not mean it is the end of this blog though. 

I will be posting updates on my rides and upgrades or even simple maintenance updates. Look forward to seeing more people supporting the blog. Thank you all once again! 

Cheers!

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 . 

Bottom Bracket Installed

Today I recieved my package from
CRC and installed the bottom bracket.

It wasn't hard to figure out how it was done. The instructions were really easy to follow too.
