Thanks! You may be cross threading though. After 5 years I still love my old Trek Fuel EX-7 29er and am not looking to replace it. I've pretty much overhauled or replaced everything on it by now. All bearings, brakes/rotors, bottom bracket, Fox fork and rear Fox Float seal/oil kits etc... Since I converted it from 3x10 to 1x11 Shimano XT drivetrain with an 11-50 cassette out back, it's all the bike I need.....
For now.
