For when riding MTB’s / BMX’s. Got to protect my scalp. Especially as nature isn’t any longer 🤣

Going from a Black coloured brake set-up. To polished both ends. For no other reason than it’s been in my head for a while. And felt I had to go for it……

About: if not the best parts available. And £120 for the whole lot. When I had brake issues with my GRX equipped gravel bike - I saw a new lever with master cylinder was £220 (From memory ?). So cheap for top notch parts per-se.

Had a spending spree.

For years I've faffed about with crappy cone spanners.
Lashed out and bought myself some propper cone spanners.

Bought one of those notch tools for opening freehub bodies.

Bought a tub of Mobil XHP222 grease

Bought a tub of 1000 1/8 bearings.

Bought 3 freehub bodies, 2 wrong, one correct (hopefully - when it comes)


Course now I've got all that I'll probably end up binning off this style of rear hub and get a hope type job with cartridge bearings.
 
More of a neon yellow than a neon green.
Hopefully the bit's I've bought match and don't clash ... I'll post the obligatory photo once they arrive.

Further purchases included some Supercaz bar tape and some Lizard Skins bar end plugs in colour schemes as closely matching the theme as I could find.

The result is a mix of neon green and neon yellow, but for now it is good enough for who it is for. May try and iterate on getting things more closely matched in future?
