Hi Ewan,

I think you already know most of this stuff but here's a few ideas:

Be fussy about cable length- make sure your cable housings are long enough, but not too long. Check your steering with the housings on there so you can get the steering you want with the cables installed.

Square the ends of your cable housing and make sure the openings are free of debris from cutting the housing. You can poke a small awl or a sharpened spoke into the housing to open it up so the inner cable moves smoothly.

Use a torque wrench to get your torque values when tightening things.

Work clean and slow.

That sounds like a cool project. Best of lusk. Photos when you're done if possible Sir!

Tacx carbon paste is good stuff.

Thanks TD good points.
I have cable and re-cable my bikes several times, but those are good points.
The only thing that will be new to me on these frames will be the headset installs and the BB30 (although I won't install that as I don't have the tool) THe road bike has external BB and I have the tool for that.
There will be pics maybe too many :-)

Had issues with all sorts of carbon parts slipping on me, no more after a smear of Tacx. Just don't confuse it for where you should be using grease:)

That is it.

What is the prevailing wisdom on BB30 installs, loctite or not?

Thanks
