The bearings were shot in the rear hub on my xc bike. Tim over at Switchback rebuilt the hub, trued up the rim and even slapped a new tube in it for me. I guess it's been sitting for so long the tube was dry rotted.

So when I picked it up I also got some cable housing, grips and a few other kick nacks. I was shocked when he totaled up my bill. Let's just say it was more then fair.

Screw mail order, this LBS rocks!

Hope to have the ol Tracer in the dirt by the end of the week! Whoot!

sweet dude

dry rotten?? sounds bad lol

not really that bad. I had kinda moved away from xc and more towards DH and shorter aggressive riding. So that bike got parked for another day. 5 years later I'm getting it back out. I prolly otta put some new tires on it also.
