All Ready To Roll... Finally

Well I finally got my bike back together and ready to roll after a
crash, I broke one of my XT shifters, so I replaced them with XTR
shifters, and I broke the Crown on my Marzocchi Z1 QR20, I had a line on
a used one, but unfortunatly that fell through, so I had to go directly
to Marzocchi, and I bought a brand new one. I even picked up a eTrex
Legend GPS and handlebar mount, to help out when exploring new areas. I
got rid of the REALLY long blue stem, the one that is on there now is
just a temp, my LBS ordered a Thompson for me which will be in on
Friday. Really looking forward to Sundays ride. Crossing my fingers for
no more bike trouble.
Since I am new, any pointers on setting my bike up will be appreciated.

With your admitted propensity to endo, you might want to slightly loosen
your lever mounts to allow them to spin on the bars instead of snapping off.
And that GPS will be the first to absorb impact if the bike ends up
inverted...

The GPS is the cheapest thing on the bike, let it take the impact. Are
you serious about slightly loosening the levers? I would assume you mean
to the point where you cannot move it by hand, but no further.

Yep. I've only bought "ONE" computer in my time. Most certainly a waste of
money in my case :-)

Yes he's serious. Just snug them enough where you can't move them easily by
hand but will still move if you whack 'em. They'll be less likely to bend
the levers in an impact.
