Took off decals from the rims, looks darker now. Got some Bontrager Rhythm grips and covered some parts of the frame with protective tape (opaque bits) Planning to change crankset since the stock one got bent on a impact and its causing the chainring to wear unevenly and probably wearing the rest of the drivetrain faster. I think i'll wait for the SLX m7000 for that, and if not, a trusty set of Zee arms will to the job, since you can get them for so cheap including the bb. After a while, I'll go 1x10.
