I started the teardown of my Trek Fuel today, beginning with the cranks and bottom bracket. This was actually pretty simple, whereas I initially saw it as being the most difficult part.
Once I took the crankarms off, it was a simple matter of using the right tool to unscrew the bracket cups. I had to buy a special tool at the local shop in order to do this; the kit I had didn't contain the right equipment.
Here is the bottom bracket. It's still in excellent condition.
Here's the Shimano Deore crank/ chainrings. Very lightweight.
I plan on using these Shimano SPD clipless pedals on the KHS- this bike is going to be all mountain.
I started to work on the chain- the cheapo chain tool I had broke while I was trying to break the chain. Unreal. I have to go buy another one, and I am going to swap out the chain with a SRAM chain with a Powerlink for easy removal.
