#106: Felt almost built up…
Picked up my Felt FC frame from RB’s on the way home and brought it home to start the build….
The build kit I had from last week….
The first hour was spend trying to match up my new bike to my old and cutting the fork, etc…
On the frame was about ten stickers such as these….
Here is the bike at about 1 hour after unboxing…
Andrea came over to work on her bike (we cut her cable housing a bit short on her bike…so she was a redoing her cables and housing). Since her Red-Blue build was the first SRAM build I have done/helped with (my Kuota was shop built) there are definitely some things that more tricky for doing the cables and housing (getting length correct for the under the tape routing). And as she found out replacing the derailleur cables on the SRAM shifters is pretty tricky… The cable must be threaded through a pretty small hole in the side of the shifter (maybe that is why SRAM ships the shifters already cabled…?)
After a dinner break, I finished the build. I will do the final adjustments and tape up the bar tomorrow….
First ride will be tomorrow…. first race will not be Saturday!
