What did you do TO / WITH / FOR your bike today!

No good. He didnt torque the rotor bolts up properly. What kinda monster just goes around in a circle like that? OPPOSITES MAN!

And I still get the heebiejeebies when people put taps in drills. Tap wrench and take ya time! I know it’s aluminium and a small hole but still. Bleugh.

I like those soft jaws for the vice though, abit nicer than the bits of aluminium sheet I’ve cut and bent for my vice.
Haha, +1 on the rotor tightening :) And those cable ties on the control cables look shite...

Seriously, someone should pay me to make these videos. What is he doing putting alloy clamps onto a carbon bar without grip paste. The first sign of rain and the galvanic corrosion will begin to eat those bars.
I picked up on that with the stem. WTF dood?

Are you saying it should also be used with brake levers, etc?

Did it go fixie on you? or did it go ET on you?
A little bit of both at times yesterday, but i picked it up fairly early so there was no major damage.

@Oddjob it's a Novatec D792SB.

It was sorted out quickly last night under warranty and I've got a replacement freehub on its way to me as we speak.

I got the wheels from http://premiummtb.com.au and this is the second time dealing with them after buying the wheels.

First time I emailed them with a question and ended up with a new rim.

And the second time yesterday, had the warranty issue sorted out in 5 minutes.

Excellent service from the guys there, can't recommend them highly enough!

Never let carbon touch alloy without something in the way like grease or grip paste, if you get any water in there you get galvanic corrosion. Most common problem area is seat post but can happen anywhere.

At the rate you build things, we're lucky to see a hex key touch a bolt, let alone carbon touch alloy.
Where's a poxy picture of a tortoise and a hare when you need one.

Was gazing lovingly at my new bike (as you do lol)
And little XT caught my eye on the cluster. Was only speced from factory with SLX. Must have run out on the production line!

Thats what I would have thought, but they upgraded instead. Yeah they are not the prettiest thing, but either is whats above ha ha.
