You know sometimes you get an urge to get a new bike, but can’t justify the cost? Well, I just got a makeover instead. Ended up getting a new subframe (S/M AM) and a bearing/hardware rebuild kit from Chumba, and a new fork while I was at it.
My “old” M/L FR EVO - circa June 2006

Home made bearing press kit!

And here she is!

- Replaced the 2006 Marzocchi All Mountain 1 with a 2008 Fox Talas 36 RC2
- Changed out all bearings and hardware
- Replaced Chris King headset (creak, creak) with a Sunline V1 All Mountain
- Rebuilt both wheels with DT Swiss 5.1 hoops
