Hey guys, I usually just poke around the forums and try to scrounge up any knowledge, info or advice i can from previous posts, but I'm kind of in a quandry as to how to handle my current situation.

I have been picking up replacement parts here and there for my bike over the past 3-5 months. I have finally decided to sit down and try to strip the bike down and install everything I have accumulated.

The bike is currently disassembled down to the frame with the crankset/bb still on, and the my lockring and cog need to be moved to the new wheelset.

This new stuff awaiting installation:

wheelset: v's/forumlas
crankset: rd/messenger
BB: 68x103mm
handlebars: drops
stem: thomson x2
brake/brake cable
seat/seatpost
i have the stock HS, but it fell apart and im not sure the order in which it goes back on, i know i'm an idiot.


I have watched videos on everything from BB removal/replacement, setting up a chainline, and taping up bars. I'm just curious as to what I should try to do myself on the first go around and what I should let my LBS do for me. I'm pretty technically savvy and intuitive but my confidence is non-existent. I have a lockring tool, but no chainwhip, bb tool or crankarm puller thingy.

I would really like to learn how to the majority of the work since I'm headed Kodiak Alaska to be on a boat where I won't have a LBS at my disposal. I know I have kind of rambled but my point is:

What's the best stuff to the to the LBS, what should I start out with? I would really like someone to refer me to video, tell me to go install a certain peice and then have me report back, but beggars can't be choosers. Any and all help would be appreciated, I am currently at work, but could take pictures if somone deems me worthy enough to help. Thanks again all.
