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.
