Mountain Bike Drivetrain Upgrade


I decided to fix up the MTB rather than try to buy another, since I'm getting less than a dozen serious rides a year. I have a cool Ti Frame to work around and the old wheels have been bulletproof. So no discs for me yet, I replaced the brake pads and upgraded the 10 year old drivetrain parts( splurged on XT crank/BB, cheap SRAM cassette & chain). Still 8 speed, its cool the stuff hasn't changed for 15+ years.

Yes, thats a 10 year old Michelin Silica Green Front tire. Given the durability of weird colored bike parts, I went with very red pads too.
