DIY vs LBS
Hi all,
I am wondering if it is a good idea to fit a new bottom bracket and a new Crankset (ISIS) to my bike on my own. I am mechanically inclined to a high degree in general, as far as the bike goes , i have already fitted my disc brakes and bled them, i fitted my new fork (Z1) , pedals, stem . The LBS that checked my installations after a while told me that they where flawless and commended me on the bleeding of the XT discs. So my question is, go ahead and buy a BB (FSAplatinum Pro or RF evolveFR) and a crank (RF Prodigy DH) and fit them myself (which involves buying a bb tool) or rely on the LBS? If i fit them myself then it will be the last thing to install on a bike that i have never done before so i will gain experience , the only drawbacks are the possibility of wrong installation and the added cost of the BB tool.
What is your advice?
Oh i also performed a full overhaul and travel modification to Manitou forks.
