the tequila...

new parts on the tequila...
Originally uploaded by divine_gear

is coming along quite nicely. i've upgraded some parts recently to get a couple steps closer to my vision for this ride.

first up the headset. there was aheadset on there, but i switched to a crank brothers directset cobalt sl headset. smoooooth. as far as functionality goes, i think the headset is one piece you should not skimp on.

next the crankset. i forgot when i upgraded the shifters to x.nine the chainrings were still indexed. oops. so i went with a race face evolve xc crankset and bottom bracket. good stuff. shifts much better (obviously), light weight, and good looking.

along with worrying about the front shifting, i upgraded to the x.nine front derailleur. much better here.

for the rear brake i went with the avid ultimate brake. light weight, and stiff.

and since a long tow path ride on this, i put on a pair of cane creek bar ends.

more to come on this ride throughout the summer. including a new wheelset and fork.
