Started working on my bike this weekend.
Repacked the rear bearings, cleaned the frame, took off the stickers, pulled front forks and rebuilt (new seals and oil)
Found broken, messed up
Rear cassette, multiple broken teeth on a few rings, bought one locally, nice Shimano with bronze rings.
Outer crank ring was bent to hell, ordered a new one, Race Face Team Chainring Black, 44 Tooth, 104 BCD
Brake pads totally shot, rotors looking meh, ordered Avid X0 Trail brakes with Avid Cleansweep rotors 200mm front 180mm rear, plus bracket adapters.
Grips pretty much trashed/worn out, ordered Ergon GA2 black.
Chain completely jacked up with a few links that looked very bad, ordered KCM X9 Gold
So far I've spent about half of what I paid for the bike on new components and tools. I knew the thing was in really rough shape, didn't realize how bad. When I first moved to MD I was going every weekend, sometimes both days, for three hour plus rides on this huge single track network near Towson and never had it tuned up. I miss going though and it's kind of enjoyable getting prepped to go again.
One thing I haven't figured out is that this bike has exposed cables along the long part of the frame, the new brake cables are all solid, not sure how I'll mount those, guess I'll figure it out when they get in and I have the time to install everything.
(returned the brake cables)
