The paint touch up on the frame and fork is finished, and as usual Duane at chestercycles.com<\/a> did a superb job.<\/p>\n

Started assembling the parts for the build. \u00a0Rob has talked me into using Shimano Dura Ace on this build, which will be a big change as my other builds have all been Campagnolo. \u00a0Part of the fun with a build project is searching out the proper parts for the build and it will be a learning curve on this one. \u00a0Not too painful, I hope.<\/p>\n

First, I picked up a set of Dura Ace 7400 hubs on ebay for a reasonable price. \u00a0The rear hub came with a 12-21 8-speed cassette on it. \u00a0I’m looking for a Dura Ace 7700 group, the last of the 9 speed groups from Shimano.<\/p>\n

Well, plans changed – mainly because I found a very nice Dura Ace 7800 group on paceline forums, and will use this group for this build. \u00a0This is a 10 speed group rather than 9 speed, so I’ll need to be sure that the rear hub will work for 10 speed cassettes. \u00a0Most of the reading I’ve done says Dura Ace 8-9-10 speed cassettes are interchangeable, so they should work.<\/p>\n

I picked up a set of H+Son TB14 polished rims that I will lace to the DA hubs. \u00a0I’ve used these rims before, on my Lemond Alpe d’Huez build and they’re very nice. \u00a0Nice polish, machined brake tracks for good braking and easy to build.<\/p>\n

A 10-speed cassette (Ultegra CS-6700 11-28 came with the group, but it won’t fit the DA freehub I have.\u00a0 Mine is a Ultraglide (UG) freehub, meaning that the hub is a 7401. \u00a0I need a 7403 freehub so that I can use 10-speed cassettes. \u00a0The 7403 freehub is UG\/Hyperglide( HG) compatible, and has the single narrow spline that will work with 8-9-10 speed cassettes.\u00a0 Separately, these freehubs are basically unobtainum.\u00a0 I was lucky enough to find a 7403 hubset on ebay, so I will swap the 7403 freehub over to my original hubset.\u00a0 Well, they CAN be swapped but require some special tools to remove and service the freehub.\u00a0 Down into the rabbit hole I go.\u00a0 Luckily, a BikeForums member had a set of these freehub tools that he was willing to part with, so I picked them up.<\/p>\n

Installed a new set of Ultegra BB cups for the Hollowtech II crankset, easy enough to do with the proper BB wrench, which I borrowed from my cycling buddy Rob.<\/p>\n

Installed the crown race on the fork, then pressed the headset cups in.\u00a0 Installed the fork and found that the steerer is about 3mm too long.\u00a0 The top nut bottoms out on the threaded part, leaving about 2mm of thread exposed above the toothed washer.\u00a0 I saw two options: first, add a couple of toothed washers to take up the space, or second, cut about 3mm off the steerer.\u00a0 I’m leaning towards cutting the steerer, mainly because that allows the headset to fit properly, but it is irrevocable.\u00a0 Once cut you can’t add length back so it’s a one-way process.\u00a0 I haven’t\u00a0 yet made the final decision.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned as this build progresses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
