C'mon... there's still Sunday ! ! !

Greetings my fellow Cudaheads,
Just checkin' with 'ya to see if you've given any love to you Barracuda or any other bike this weekend?
Well, whether you've been faithful to your 'Cuda, shown some attention to another from your stable, or neglected all things bike related... there's still Sunday! Toss a leg over a velo and go for it! Grab some tools and service that problem area. Saturday has come and gone but today is your chance... go for it compadres!
I got dusty on the trail and was finally able to make some progress on my Psycle Werks WildHare. Since the last photos I posted, my rear wheel now has a 9 speed XT cassette (11-34T), there is a new XT front shifter to go with the XT rear, and I made up my mind on pedals. I've been waiting for weeks for the tiny compression ferrules, D-washers, and other essentials to arrive from Germany so I could rebuild my Magura hydraulic brakes. I had partial sets of yellow HS22 Race-Line and red HS33 John Tomac brakes in the spare bins. I made some franken-brakes with the best pieces from the lot. The highlight was assembling the Race-Line levers with aftermarket Altek CNC lever blades... I had two rear lever blades in red and black, I flipped the black lever blade and now I'm good to go. I need to bleed the brakes and pick up a 9 speed chain and the bike will finally be done!!!
C'mon gang, get out and ride today or show your bike some love with a tune up or a bath... post it here!
Thanks!
