Well i was able to steal away for about half an hour today with the attention of putting some brakes on, should have been easy, WRONG...
My front wheel which i hadnt noticed before is nowhere near to center some some shimming is in order.
I guess i should have followed the instructions step by step but talk about confusing... I think the guys need to sit down and take photos of an installation, talk about double dutch i was pulling my hair out trying to figure out what part was what and where it was supposed to fit. Luckly teacher bill had left most of the parts pre-assembled for me so i was pretty much able to get the kit on there without too many problems.
My seat angle might also be a bit to straight but i am using the seat post that came with the trek and there is no give in it what so ever, i will eventually upgade parts as i go along but at the moment i just want to get the bike to where i can take it out for short spins to learn how to ride the thing.
Any helpful tips would be gratefully appreciated at the moment,
thanks, martin
