Its upgrade time again on my retro GT Timberline MTB! GT Hadley hubs, Surly forks, clutch derailleur and a more modern 1x10 drivetrain. It took a long old time sourcing all the parts and I can't be more stoked with how it turned out! Let me know what you think I should upgrade next on it

My gt has the same Colour. Would do anything (allmost 😂) to get a set of hubs like that. Lovely build ❤️ mine has been converted to 1x10 36t and 11-36. Also using dropbars now. Flatbar the first 20 years i owned it. Also as a 3x7… before the conversion. Bought it at a market for 200 danish kroner = 30 dollars at that time. It served my family well. The kids are grown up now, but they have both commuted to School On it. So it has a special place In my heart.

@DrGIzmoBRad 6 ай бұрын

I was taught to put all the spoke into the hub all at once paying attention to the valve hole vs spoke hole pattern. It may seem complicated at first, but you never have to bend spokes when lacing. If you have a 3× lacing, just count 6 spokes inclusive when inserting into the rim. Nice upgrade BTW :)

@janeblogs324 6 ай бұрын

If you lace in the correct order you only have to bend 8 out of 32 spokes, if you don't have ham fists you won't kink the spokes too. It would be nice to put them all in at once but the chances of scratching the rims goes up exponentially especially if you are free holding the rim all just to save 5 minutes work

@waveywheelies 6 ай бұрын

Interesting.. never tried that method. Have tried a few ways now and found this to be my favourite so far, you only have to bend the last set of 8 or so and not by much. Might have to give that one a go at some point, but as @janeblogs324 mentions I feel like I would end up scratching the rim without a good tool to hold the rim and hub in place

No upgrads neaded for this one. 😎 There are always things one could change, but if they are upgrades or not, is in the eye of the beholder. You could change the cranks for new XT hollowteck or BB30, but you're RF-crank is super nice and a really good one. And you could up for 12s_11-50t casette/ gear, but there is no benefit. Enjoy and keep on ripping.🤞

@waveywheelies 6 ай бұрын

Haha! The main reason I usually use the open end is because it’s inline with the spanner, so when putting a lot of weight into it the bb tool stays in. Where as the other end is on an angle and it causes the bb tool to pop out easier (I hope that makes sense)

Nicely done! Great components. With the clutch derailleur you could remove the stay protector. Such a nice color and paint in great shape I think the bike would look cleaner without it. So.... thoughts on the Brooks C17?

@waveywheelies 6 ай бұрын

Thanks! I did think about removing it but thought I’d keep it on for the initial test ride, I definitely agree it would look nicer without it! Yeah I really like the C17 so far, surprisingly soft, but I do need to give it a good longer ride to really get the review, but either way I like the look of it 🙌

Bike porn right here! I love GT bikes and have a few myself. I would of loved to see Thompson seatpost and stem in silver on it.😍 I'm in Australia and it's also hard to get 26inch rims here. I did manage to get a cheap pair of rims though, for my Kona Lava Dome build, which they are already laced up to a LX hub on the rear and a sweet Kona hub on the front... Sweet build mate 😍
