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.

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.
The Parts and Tools I received today 2nd July 2012

SRAM X0 Shifters, Shimano Deore XT Front Derailleur, SRAM 11-34 Cassette , SRAM X0, 9 Speed Rear Derailleur 

Tools donated to the build by Steve from Rotorburn

Funn Black Souljam pedals 

SRAM Grips 
 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.
