Tonight was my time to take care of some upgrades to my 2010 Trek Fuel EX 9.8. It started out with changing the FSA headset that came on it, and replacing it with a Cane Creek 110 ZS Tapered instead. It was a pretty easy process since I had all the tools I needed. The end result was great. Should be ready to ride in another week when I get the other upgraded parts in. Here is a list of the changes coming:
- FSA Headset > Cane Creek 110 ZS Tapered
- Shimano XT Crank > Shimano XTR Crank
- Shimano XT Rear Derailleur > Shimano XTR Rear Derailleur
- Shimano XT Shifters > Shimano XTR Shifters
- Avid Elixir R Brakeset > Shimano XT Brakeset
- Bontrager Rhythm Elite Wheelset > Bontrager Rhythm Pro Wheelset
- Shimano Shift Cables > Shimano XTR Shift Cables

HPD Moonlight Bike Ride
Courtney and I did the HPD Moonlight Bike Ride and she got to ride the Red Rocket. Shame this bike is being retired this weekend, and she got the last ride, but as the Phoenix, this bike will rise from the ashes later this summer in a new project bike I am sure.
2010 Trek Elite 9.9 SSL
Another day, another bike update. So I have abandoned my Ibis Mojo Project and proeeded with my Trek 9.9 SSL Project. After an initial investment of too much money, I have received my new frame. 2lbs 12.5 oz of pure carbon make up this rig. Hopefully this will be completed in 2 weeks as that is my goal.
