So today due to the amount of rain I have taken a rest day which is a really good idea anyway as I’m still man flu’ed up 🙁
I woke up without an alarm at about 7:30 this morning did my weigh-in (down to 103.5 kgs today! -0.4kgs from yesterday) I then went into the lounge to see how hard it was raining and decided to cancel meeting my friends at 10am! I then went back to bed and chilled until about 13:00 when I decided to start messing with the Dialled as I need to get it ready to ride on Tuesday afternoon 🙂
I have decided to swap the cranks onto my Cult and put the DXR’s from the Cult onto the Dialled as it will be one of my main bikes going forwards. I already have a new KMC K! narrow chain to go on it and I have just bought some 20mm washers to allow me to run my 20mm Cliq forks with the 10mm front wheel until I find a 10mm wheel to go on it! I also bought a set of dark blue burgtec mk4 pedals to go on it too as they were cheap 🙂 I already have some spare Speedline chain tensioners to go on the Dialled so I have everything that I need to get the bike fully ready to ride today. I also have new 20 x 1.60 and 20 x 1.95 powerblock tyres ready to go as well as it came with 20 x 1.75 Maxxis tyres which I am not a S&M depending how I feel 🙂 I have a set of new 20″ Sun Envy rims coming anyway so I may as well build a really decent set of wheels up and the hubs are overkill for the Cult anyway 🙂
While I was watching random videos on YouTube I stumbled on a video on symptoms of magnesium deficiency and I had all of them so I have bought a months supply of magnesium pills so I can see if they help or not 🙂
So I got part way through Setting the Dialled MX20R but the non drive side bottom bracket would only go in 1/2 way as the bottom bracket was cross threaded so I have ought a bottle of Metal Work Fluid that will be here tomorrow and a new Forward Bottom bracket that should be here by Wednesday, I also had to buy different type of chain tensioners as the ones that I have will not work with the frame.
