Errors tips tricks related to my various upgrades.Well- I just put a Hayes 9 Hydraulic Set up on my back rim. Also had to install a new shifter, as my last setup was a combination shifter/brake. I upgraded to a shimano deore 9 speed derailer and cassette. I figured it would be a good time to service my Acros Headset. I tore the heck out of a part they call the Clamping Ring. It's plastic but important. I need to replace it without buying an entire headset. We'll see how that goes.


My previous installs include race face cranks with external bb bearings Shimano Mechanical and Hayes Hydraulic disc brakes, manitou elite forks. The only stock parts on my ride are the seat post and handlebars.
