On Saturday night, Banks called me offering to meet me at the shop at 8 AM Sunday, 2 hours before time to open up so that we could slap the parts on the new sled. I wasn't sure we could get done in two hours, but it sure wasn't an offer I was going to turn down.
bare frame, faced and chased and ready for the next thing.
This will be my first bike with a new flavor of King Bling:
Chris King bottom bracket? Oh yes.
Chris King bottom bracket? Oh yes.
There's nothing like an experienced bike mechanic doing what he does. Scot was fast. At 8:00 AM he was picking his facing tool out of the drawer. At 8:55 it was all done but for checking out shock pressure and setting my saddle height. Damn.
Banks finishing up.
Ready for the maiden voyage!

a CK bb....hmmm?
Ed
Yeah Ed, Scot IS the man, and CK DOES now build replacement BBs for your favorite Shimano crankset. I squealed like a 12-year-old girl when I saw those babies on CK's web site. Shoving Phil Wood sealed bearings into your Shimano cups is good, but CK? There's a special tool you can get to shove new grease into them without disassembling the bearing. Nice!
Ahhh but no hydro's to bleed ;)
nice looker T-man
