So I went to pick the Crush up from Stif today.

I've got some Mavic XM719's on some gold Pro2 hubs, plus some other bits.

I currently have shimano hubs, and brakes.

Anyone spot what I failed to, till the guy politely told me?!?!?!?

    You now have Shimano centrelock rotors with 6 bolt hubs...

    You need an A2Z adaptor.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    :lol:

    Could've been worse, you could've bought a fork with a 1.5 steerer for a bike with a 1 1/8 head tube.
    It's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission.

    I've bought a new bike....ouch - result
    Can I buy a new bike?...No - no result

    if that had happened though you could always just fit the fork without a headset, saves weight and expense.

    You've got 2.35" tires. :lol:

    Hillarious Teeth, don't get eaten by a Llama in Kenya. (joke)

    What an idiot - I even thought of this the other day but just forgot to get some new rotors, and the otehr thing is that they didn't have one of the rotors in and had to order it, so I've to wait for that too.

    All I wanted was to take it in and get all the stuff done on the same day - And its entirely my fault why I couldn't do it.

    Thanks Teeth.

    I also tried on a p-i-s-s pot helmet with some goggles, I've been harping on about this for ages now and finally tried on the kit I might actually buy, I looked like a complete t-w-a-t, so its back to the drawing board for the runny eyes I'm afraid.

    Was hillarious - I might get the same stuff on again when I go back and pick her up at the weekend, and take a pic, I think the shop guy said I looked like an American paratrooper!!!!!!!!

    and another downside is that I have to ditch the fantastic looking rotors I currently have for some that look cack compared to them, I suppose they'll still do their job though, :cry:

    They'll be up for sale in the ads soon - Along with the front wheel, with the 20MM Shimano hub, and some other bits I have managed to accrue, if I can find them among the enormous mess of biking gear I have.
