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.
A blog about my first DIY Mountain Bike Build after taking a 7 year break from cycling. This will be the best way to document my experiences and share it with other enthusiasts around the world. I would love to hear you comments and advice.

Just Recieved Three Packages in The Mail
I just received three packages in the mail today. Parts and tools for my build have arrived.
These are all used parts and tools from Rotorburn.
I still have not ordered my Bottom Bracket and Cranks yet, will have to buy a few tools off ChainReactionCycles. These would be more bike specific tools such as a chain whip and a cassette tool. I'm guessing that all I would need for now.
Special Thanks To:
I would like to thank Steve from Rotorburn, for donating his used tools and some parts. A great help on his part advising me on my build, and types of parts that I will need. Thanks so much for you help Steve.
