I’ve just noticed that my Commencal Meta 5.5 Mountain bike<\/a> has recently hit the 1,000 mile mark.<\/p>\n

Not that far in the grand scheme of things, but not too bad going for me really. It has actually logged 1,067 miles to date, so hit the 1,000 mile mark on the ClimachX Trail on February 13th, pretty much a year after I bought it on February 18th 2009. I’m sure there have been a few rides where I forgot to start my GPS as well, so the actual distance is probably bit further.<\/p>\n

So, that’s 1,000 miles in a year on that bike. Guess I’ll have to try to beat that this year!<\/p>\n

There have been a few changes to it since I bought it of course. In addition to the inevitable brake pad changes, the RaceFace bottom bracket has been replaced with a Chris King one, the Sun Ringle rear wheel on XT hub has been replaced with a Stans No Tubes ZTR Flow on Hope Pro II hub, the cassette has been upgraded to a SRAM PG990, the chain rings have been replaced and the chain has been replaced a couple of times.<\/p>\n

I’ve also been good with the servicing of the forks and rear shock and have replaced the bearings in the suspension rockers.<\/p>\n

Still on the list of upgrades is some sort of gravity dropper seat post, a Chris King headset and maybe some slightly wider bars.<\/p>\n

Roll on the next 1,000 miles.<\/p>\n
