One small snag... On fitting the Reynolds sticker, turns out I bought the French one :rolleyes: ...ironic for an English Cycles. English replacement is winging it's way here. All the best,

I looked at the mudguards after a good clean. Failing to find any decent solvent-based adhesive that would work, I made a plastic weld of the thin outer surface to tack it together in position, then used hot-melt glue to fix a splint to the inside of the cracked area. Rear Shimano XT axle...

OK...it's all done now, but I'll run through the rest of the process. Once the frame was back from having the decals reproduced, I could strip some paint and have a really good look at the chainstay crack. 3/4 of the way around :confused: So I cut through the rest to expose the x-section...

Repairable, but I don't like the look of that head tube crack.:confused: Mine has the same, and the typical one around the ST/TT joint. I'll get around to repairing it one day. Decal sets are available. All the best,

Interesting Scrambler used 6106...that's a pretty soft mid-range alloy designed primarily for complex extrusions, rather than round tubing. Even before welding, 6106-T6 has only 75-80% the tensile and Yield strength of 6061-T6. (UTS 250 vs 310 MPa, Yield 200 vs 270 MPa). While 6061 is fairly...

Sounds just my sort of thing ;)😚 All the best,

Lugano indoor swimming pool Jan 2025 All the best,

Corrected by @justbackdated below :) The 1-1/8" and 1-1/4" ones share the same crown [are] It is identifiable by the bulge in the front and rear faces: [On later models] When running a 1-1/8" steerer, there's a step-down shim incorporated into the headset crown race. This is omitted when...

Sadly, I can't help with the 1-1/4" crown, but can make up the steerer if you find one. All the best,

Certainly looks like a Noleen to me. 🤔 That hard anodising and the diagonal knurling on the preload ring don't look like AMP. All the best,

I have the correct MAVIC tool in my building kit. Happy to do the work, or lend with a deposit. All the best,

Also, they have recently lost a key worker due to health issues, so are down on capacity. They are currently recruiting a replacement, but it's going to affect them for quite a while probably. All the best,

Looks like Torsten is closing the business.at.the.end of March :( https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1BBAN3z8uK/ We'll have to look elsewhere for weird 3 and 4 bolt brake rotors ans all those canti brake bosses. All the best,

My point was not really comparing cars and bikes, or their respective product offering. How, in a mature, global and well-rationalised industry such as cars, there seem to be distinct types of 'shops' in the car trade: brand dealers shifting new product on finance, and general servicers handling...
