xt rear dérailleur (the oldest component, this it's 3rd bike now). Must clean it...

Hi guys, i had a Chinese 26 carbon frame and loved it, so i decided to go for a Chinese 29er. Put the bike for sale but no one grabbed it. So decided to only sell some parts, and keep some that i could use on the new bike, and in less than a month everything was sold.

Ordered the frame from Xmiplay, had loads of problems with local customs but a month later i go it. Just ordered the missing parts. So the complete picture is gonna be this:



9.2 Kgs or 20.28 pounds. Later i want to convert to 1*11 but for now this will do.

I'm gonna post pictures soon, weights (as all the red parts are not weighed by me as i don't have them yet). But i kind wanted some help because the idea was to assemble it myself, it's not like this is my first rodeo, but i never assembled one bike from zero.

Never messed with BB30 bottom brackets before, how difficult is it? anyone got a good DIY video?

Another question is from where to start? i never did this from zero and it might seem silly but i got some problems imagining what needs to come 1st and so one. Do i go for the BB 1st, then internal cables, then i need derailleurs, suspension, handlebar to know where to cut then,...

Also i got some lose tips. I guess the neco headset must go, the bottom door must be sealed in order not to enter the water and dirt, the brake line inside the frame but be involved in foam in order no to make noise. Anything else?

Have a nice 2015, lots of fun riding and hope to get some help and return with some low cost project descripton
