Reassembly
15 February 2020Unlike Humpty Dumpty, it's put back together.
Yesterday, I got the frame back from the powder coating shop and I began reassembly by installing a new headset. Today, I reassembled the rest of the bike. Most of these components were already on the bike before powder-coating, so it all went back together without any trouble.
Here's a summary of the components I have on the bike at this time:
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| Frame | 2013 Trek Marlin, aluminum, 19" size |
| Fork | Manitou Markhor, 120mm travel |
| Headset | Cane Creek Viscoset upper and 40-Series lower |
| Drivetrain | SRAM NX Eagle, 34T chainring, 11-50 12-speed cassette |
| Pedals | Crankbrothers Double Shot 1 |
| Wheels | Novatec D481SBT/D482TSBT hubs, WTB ST i25 rims |
| Tires | Continental RaceKing ShieldWall 29x2.2, Muc-Off sealant |
| Handlebar | FIFTY-FIFTY 35mm riser bar, cut to 740mm width |
| Stem | Race Face Respond, 60mm length, 10° rise |
| Grips | ESI Chunky silicone MTB grips |
| Brakes | Shimano Deore M6000, 180mm/160mm |
| Seatpost | Brand-X Ascend II 105mm dropper seatpost |
I've ridden the bike a lot with most of these components, but the handlebars and pedals are new—tomorrow afternoon I've got a ride in mind to see how everything feels.
