I've recently acquired some middleburn hubbed wheels with the grease ports. I want to tear them down and service them before use. I've looked online and not found a whole lot on how to do this or even what bearings may lurk inside. Anyone know how to do this or point me at a guide?

Did you have any luck?

Bump. Consider a trade for an 11sp shifter.

Wow, a 260mm steerer may be a challenge. You might be best looking for a fork that has a removable steerer so you can get a long ahead one. Pace as an example, I think earlier marzocchi forks did, not sure on the manitous you have mentioned. Good luck.

Not sure if these would fit but could save you on welding and can use the forks with any wheel size. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/113944737985?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=yhVf7NOtQ4i&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=GeEG02BlRb2&var=414231882390&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Bar clamp, 11sp, slx would be perfect but open to options.

Onza porch chops came with a point to cut for grip shift. You will need to cut grips down unless you have super wide bars. Any of the one piece grips can be cut down, depends on the pattern as to whether it will look odd. You can get grip shift specific grips online but obvs new but grip...

I get knocked down, but I get up again..... Chumbawumba. Deorerthumping ;)

I've heard something about this before (respray at factory) but this doesn't look like that based on how the top coat looks to have been sprayed over imperfections (drop out pic for example) and the painting around the lettering looks a little off. I had a rascal in GLF and in this aspect it...

Here are some pics which also show the measurements. I bought it to build but it's too small for me, at 6ft, well I could just about get away with it but it would still be too small. Hung on to it as thought one of my kids would make use of it but one is almost my height at 15 so will be too...

They seem to either turn to a puddle of sticky goo or dust. I'm guessing UV wasn't it's friend after years hidden away in a fork tube, a dark and dingy prison.

Yes, just regular pads. I'm sure someone will be able to recommend which regular pads are better then others. Kool stop always get a mention. Pad holders and inserts are better than just pads imo.

If any of the 3 were a candidate I'd say the one on the right. I think the left is a pro2/Evo one, the other maybe a front? If I can find my spare hub I'll try it out for size.

Hi, had a look today and the tackle box I have says for rim brakes. There's a bolt that looks similar, in fact I'd say it was the same as the bleed screws of the levers of the magura mt5s and 6s I have. Ignore the one on the left, that's a metal screw.
