opening a rear shock for the first time ever....

And successfully [sp?] performing an air-can service + seal replacement on my Float AVA, which didn't look all that much like the pics in the manual.

Got my steel haro hardtail (cira 98') frame back the other night. Dare I turn it into a singlespeed? :paranoid:

Parts stripped from old frame and headset in new one. It's all downhill from here :)

BTW, threaded bolt, two washers and some patience is the cheapest/safest way to get a headset in your frame at home :thumbsup:

All major parts prepped, cleaned and on the bike.

Plenty of hammers, but no beer :(
