Just can't leave my fingers off this bike. Last night I checked the front wheel bearings, plenty of grease but too much pre load on the bearings so I loosened them up a bit now they roll like butta same with the headset. It was set a bit too tight, plenty of grease just too much preload on the bearings, took care of that. Got the brakes where I want them with the new koolstops and checked the rear wheel bearings, they were good, roll for ever, should be a better ride tomorrow. This kind of stuff is taken care of when you buy a new bike from your LBS. I knew going in that buying from BD was gonna mean I have to do it. Its been fun to see and experience all the improvements in this bike since I've done the set up on it. Ordered Panaracer Pasela TG's and a bike computer they should be here by the end of the week but its gonna be a crazy weekend so I doubt I'll get that stuff taken care of till next week sometime. Gonna post some more pic when I get it all set up.
