It came in 2 days assembly wasn't too bad, neighbor did a little tuning for me. I took it for a 8 mile ride yesterday. It's nice and I think with some adjustments I'll love it. The chain is rubbing and There is a strange clicking noise when my right foot is just passed straight up that I can't find the source of. My neighbor/bike expert is leaving town for a week. . The disk breaks are cool.

Today I donated my Ergon GP1's and silver Giant bar ends to my girlfriends bike, and grabbed a set of black Giant bar ends, this time mounted inside my new Ergon GP2's, oh and a few days ago I took out the last spacer on the stem. Yes I'm aware the front brake isn't hooked up, this was taken just after I got it out of my truck, I hooked the brake up right after this photo was taken.

All is good. I kept the red cable of course for when I get the urge to change back. Initially I was only going to change the rear cables to black but when i viewed it from the front, I figured the red on the bars and the touches on the saddle were enough.
My friend here suggested white cables....So many ideas. At least a metre of cable's only a dollar.

Insatlled Shimano PD-M520 pedals on my Giant Roam 1. This is my very first clipless pedal and I love it. Also got Diadora shoes for me self. Weird how much easier spinning the padals feels. Also I have no idea how so many people end up falling.

Added some Pro Grip straps to my pedals. Didn't want to go clip-less and didn't really want a foot cage. So far I really like them. It's nice not having my foot slide forward with each shift.

The inside bar ends are Giant Contact AL bar ends. They worked fairly well for me, though this bike has since been donated to my girlfriend and I'm now riding a Defy Composite 1...

replaced the chain and the derailleur pulleys. Pulleys had a bit more slop then I thought they should, sure enough new ones much tighter, the chain was still within specs for usable . Plus a full bike clean , lube and adjust.
then went for a easy pace 15 mile ride

Are pulleys, jockey wheels? If yes make sure you use a product like loctite on the bolts.
