Today’s blog is mostly pictures.

With the exception of the SRAM 1070 11-36 cassette, all the XO gear arrived yesterday. The cassette was accidentally left out of the shipment, but it will be arriving this morning. I used my old cassette as a placeholder yesterday while I installed all the new equipment.

Everything went very smoothly, and as of this morning I just need to fine tune the front and rear derailleurs a little bit and install the new cassette.

I took a bunch of photographs this morning, and so I’ll shut up and let the pictures of my new and improved Trek Fuel EX 8 speak for themselves.
