Leaning towards a Cube or some other Euro brand that will look cool back on US trailage.

Are we really talking about a needle bearing that replace the DU bushing in Fox Shox and the tools to do the job???
How does it perform so far, any info??
Thanks

You are correct. jdcamb told me about it. I just installed it this afternoon, so I can't comment on how it performs, but installation went without a hitch.
A pair of Continental Trail king 2.2 UST tires, Mavic stems, Stan's tire sealant.

I don't thing getting a new set of Pads for my BB7's qualifies as a build.
It's like a giant birthday party for my bikes this spring:
for my Giant Anthem 29er--rebuilt fork with new stanchions that somehow got REALLY chewed up in my first 9 months of riding it (Fox is replacing chewed up stanchions under warranty & rebuilding) and new handlebars & grips.
for my Cannondale RZ 120--new Stan's Arches wheels, Nobby Nic tires, new (wider) green handlebars, to, of course, match the paint scheme on the frame, and a new (longer) stem. Oh, and I came across a pair of green and black eggbeater candies on Amazon.com, so I think I might order those as well. I switched to candies from spds on my Anthem over the winter, and I really like them!!
I spent the first 5 years of my mtb'ing career on a basic Rockhopper, beat the crud out of it, sold it to another newb for her to beat the crud out of, so now it's time for me to go nuts with blinging out the two bikes I bought last year. Now that I know what I really want/like.

You sir created some new needs in me so...
This came in yesterday, I figure since I was ordering, better make a substantial one:
And I got that since last fall but didn't install it yet, season was over for me when I got it:
Can't wait to ride again....
It's about damned time.
Heh... we can compare notes at the 'fest!

Hey, I just got me one of them there bikes from the classifieds. Can't wait to ride it!Nuthin new here, got a Spitty in the Fall and have been dialing it in all winter.
I am a bike mechanic. My chit should be perfect. I am so broke as to be barely holding on. Sad actually.
I have some old cable housing I could send you... I have a broken X0 I took off my old Kona I could send you too.
Don't go pulling a Drunken Ninja on me though!
New Reverb came back from the shop to replace the failed one. I did order a box of CO2 cartridges in anticipation of actually riding my bike.
all i got was some dirt for my pump track and a water pump for watering it from the well that's some 20m away from it... 
blows my mind those guys are still using isisIt's about damned time.
I presume they haven't managed to steal the tech for BB30 yet.
Echo has an interesting ISIS/Spanish BB hybrid.
the bearings definitely had problems, the bigger issue was always the spline interface.I presume they haven't managed to steal the tech for BB30 yet.

but come on, they can figure out FFW but they can't figure out a larger OD press fit spindle and outboard bearings?
Interference with front freewheel. There is just enough room with a 128mm isis. With external bearings, you would need to move it out 5-10mms and then the chainline would be unusable.
good point, hadn't thought about that issue.
I didn't either till you said external BB.
Neato...
i do think the spanish bb is kind of a cool approach to it to get even just a slightly larger bearing size in there.
