Installing Longfields

Installing Longfields http://web.me.com/alvarorb/I_know_what_I_like/My_Albums/Pages/Chromolly_Axles_%26_Birfields.html Last summer while running the Dusy-Ershim trail I busted a birfield less than 2 miles from completing the trail. And running out of light. Good thing Rick from our group had a spare. I also had spare axle. With the help of everyone, we where up and running in 40 minutes flat! Here are the pics from the longfield install, replacing the stock birfs and axles. More on the install here.
