Bike
Well today, I rode my first 75KM after beign hit by the car. The new Dice Mule Hub on the rear wheel is a dream, the SRAM-X9 Derailleur is a fucking sweet dream, instant shifts. Now I can actually down shift while going uphill something in the old system would just choke. OhOHOH No more RATATATATATTTATATTTA noise comming from the rear, its click fucking instant.
The other bit, the Juicy 7 Hydrolic brake, Oh man what a disc-brake fuck you really do pay for your components. The new chain well its a fucking 50 dollar chain….. It just works… No wierd stretch feeling
The bad, the old crank and front derailleur caused Vincent to dance around for 5 seconds as the chain got sucked when shifting up. It still make that damn click noise, I am definetly getting rid of those bits, not sure what to replace them with though.
To give you an idea on how much the parts cost
New Switches SRAM-X9 Trigger Shifters: 100 (US)
Rear Derailleur SRAM-X9: 140 (US) > I got these two for a bundle at Ebay for 150 (AUS) =D
Dice Mule Rear Disc Hub: 180 Dollars
Sun Rims Rhyno Lite-Rim (Rear): 41 dollars
Avid Juicy Seven Hyrdolic Disc Brake: 400 AUS EACH ( I got them for 380 for a set, rear and front)
SRAM PG-950 9 Speed Cluster: 99.50
SRAM PowerGlide Chain: 59.95
So far every fucking dollar is worth it, it just feels fucking great _, now for the front drive train sigh
I have to admit now, I am just fucking wasted and tired. Several times I felt like vomiting due to the lactic acid build up. I am just sooo tired now.
