Bottom bracket/crankset installed

Last night I strapped my frame to my back and took off to Bike Pirates to install my SRAM Truvativ GXP bottom bracket and Omnium crankset. Other than there being some crap stuck to the threads that I had to scrape off with my fingernails, the install went well. The head mechanic at BP said it runs ‘buttery smooth’ and that after I break it in, it will feel amazing. Hopefully tonight, we get the headset and fork in then everything else will be easy! It’ll definitely be ready in time for the Tour de Greenbelt.
