  • I'm going full squish. The Chisel has done me well, but I want to do more XCM and the hardtail was hard work for that.
    Specialized don't do a non-Sworks Epic Evo frame.
    So I just bought the base model and am swapping my random collection of parts from the Chisel, which goes back up for sale.

    So far, I have:

    • Taken off all the parts of the Epic Evo, except the Saddle and Stem
    • Stashed the stock parts in a box

    Then, on the Chisel, I have:

    • Removed blue Sid, wheels, cranks, bars, dropper
    • Re-fitted the stock parts for those
    • Fitted new BB
    • Swapped old tyres on to the stock wheels, refreshed sealant
    • Fitted new shift cable outer and inner, dialed in brakes and shifting
    • Fitted some flat pedals
    • Gave a clean and a short test ride

    Then I have:

    • Taken the blue fork for a service at LBS
    • Serviced my OneUp Dropper
    • Fitted Fork, Stem, Bars, Seatpost
    • Prepared new Levers and ispec shifter and dropper lever
    • Routed new brake line (quite fiddly)

    Tomorrow I'll hopefully make some more progress.
