etc., etc.
So I moved into build phase yesterday, with a garage full of blokes doing beer..., which may have been a bit of a distraction.
The bars and stem are just for the time being, to measure up the cockpit. The Raceface Turbine cranks are on for the same reason, as I can't find my tool to undo those little plastic caps on the (older) XT cranks.
I also have to get the spacer for the hub (which is at the bike shop). I ordered the wrong seatpost clamp, so have to get another one of those before I can set the seat properly. Derailleur and associated faff has to go on as does rear brake. The front rotor is pressing hard on the pad/caliper, so I might have to shim that out a little. The rear Maxle is the wrong size - I have a 180 when I need a 174X12 but have a 180X12 (have to go back and check whether I ordered the wrong one or was sent the wrong size).
