4/28/2006 - My Mojo gets a professional bike fit

Now that I've got all the upgrades done to the Mojo I figured it was time to get the bike professionally setup for my body. I should have done this when I first started getting serious about riding, but didn't, and had some knee pain last year probably as a result of poor bike fit. I looked into a couple different fit systems, but decided to go to Bike Authority in Broadview Heights (Ohio) and have them setup the bike.

Well, they did end up making quite a few changes, and the photo above shows the new setup. They raised my saddle quite a bit (over an inch), moved it forward a little, and also raised my stem a spacer or two. Also had them adjust the cleats on my Sidi's.

4/10/2006 - Finally, some upgrades for the Mojo

Finally got a few of the upgrades done on the Mojo. On the drivetrain I've replaced the Shimano XT rear derailleur with a SRAM X.O and the Shimano LX cranks with new Shimano XT cranks. While I was at it I put a new SRAM rear cassette and chain on. So far this setup is awesome.... love the new XT cranks and the X.O rear derailleur shifts awesome.

Up front the biggest change was ditching my old Rock Shox Duke XC fork for a new Rock Shox Psylo fork. I also replaced the Avid V brakes with Avid Mechanical disc brakes. Since I replaced the old V brakes with discs, I also needed a new disc wheelset... so, I replaced the old Mavic 517 rims/XTR hubs with Mavic XC717 Disc Rims/Hope XC disc hub. Jim at my local bike shop (Wheel & Wrench) built the wheels for me and these things are awesome. Also love the new Avid Mechanicals...awesome stopping power!!

Out back I also replaced the old Avid Single Digit Ti brakes with Avid Mechanical disc brakes.... and for the wheels, I replaced the old Mavic 517 rims/XTR hubs with Mavic XC717 Disc Rims/Hope XC disc hub.
