Next on the agenda is the brakes. Since I'm using disc brakes they're pretty simple to install. Slide them over the rotors, line up the holes and bolt them down.
As I was to find out later, adjustment is a whole different story. It got bad, I even had to go read the manual.
And what utility bike isn't complete without a set of full fenders?
Only problem is that with all the extra tubing and disc brakes to go around there was some serious bending going on to get the fenders to clear.
Once everything was bent into shape, I still was a bit paranoid about the fender-stays hitting in a few places, so I put little pieces of heat-shrink tubing over them to stop any rubbing.
Now the rear derailleur. It pretty much just bolts on. Fairly self-explanatory.
The front derailleur is a bit more difficult. Most will probably be a clamp-on type like mine, but there are a few others types, braze-ons and one that uses a funky metal bracket.
Either way, you need to make sure that the cage clears the teeth of the big chainring by about 1-2mm. And make sure it's all parallel. When you're satisfied with it's position, tighten up the clamp bolt.
Oh, and if you have a kickstand, put that on ASAP, it makes life much easier
