I got nearly all of the crap I'm getting for my hardrock to replace the parts that came with it:

Cassette - SRAM PG-970:


Chain - SRAM PC-970:


Derraileur - SRAM X.7:


Handlebar - PlanetX DH bar:


Stem - SIC Slam X, 70mm:


Grips - Odyssey Tom Banton (I've had these for a while, thought I'd put them on my BMX bike but I'm not so impressed with my ODI Intense grips on the hardrock so I might use these instead.




I'll have the shop install the shifters and derraileur, but I'm wondering if I should go ahead and install the stem and handlebar? Do you need more than a set of allen wrenches? I have metric and SAE.

I also am getting a fork before too long. I'll bump this thread when I have the stuff on the bike.
