With me being new to all the possible upgrades and with there having been an issue with rear mech, shifter and chain, I'm wondering if anyone can give me the lowdown on what to look for in replacing these items? Ok, I ride the road most, but don't want to rule out some off road fun. Would...

Yep, I upgraded the wheels/tyres, brakes and pedals plenty years ago. Any pictures of your own for us to see?

The water is a MASSIVE benefit to the pain. Missus never gave birth IN the bath, but she had a bath while in major labour. The pain disappeared instantly when in the bath, but came back as soon as the water had drained away.

My wife had it when she was pregnant last year. She got seriously scared about having to TRY and give birth to a large baby....something which they kept on saying was the case, every time she was in for a check/scan/measurement/etc. Mia appeared and she was around 7 lb 10 oz iirc. SLIGHTLY...

Well rather than break it, i've listed it complete on Ebay. I'd liked to have rebuilt it, but i don't have the funds or time to do so. Good memories with it, but life goes on i suppose. :cry:

That looks pretty awesome!

Done. PM me your details please. :)

I've managed to measure my shock and it appears to be 200mm from the base of the lower bearing to the top of the adjuster, so yours SHOULD do. Fancy a cheeky £45 delivered? :D

Just had a shifty on eBay and it certainly looks like they are. Don't have the time to do the bike up, but it would be a shame to split it.

On second thoughts Ringo, I may be interested in these, but will check to make sure they suit first...

I've been told the steerer in the Super V SL is a 1-1/4 , then I was told its actually 1.56" so can anyone tell me exactly?

Oops, never realised there was different sections for sales and wanteds. Would prefer newer than your Manitou's, but they do look mint.

Ok so as I'm about to order a reducer set with bearings for my Super V SL, I'm on the lookout for a good front shock...what have you got to offer? And also, I intend upgrading the brakes to hydraulic discs, so what is there available here....and also would need wheel to go with the discs?

Found a few old pics of Kalkhoff BMX's on Google images and it certainly looks like how I remember it, but no pic available of the front badge. Seem quite rare!

Ok thanks. The shock feels a BIT rough, but I'm not sure what's its MENT to feel like either... Either way, I like tinkering and I'd like to know what my options are in regards to the front shock. Wouldn't want to miss out on a good deal somewhere on the items I would need, without...

Many, many years ago i had an old BMX which i decided to upgrade. It got completely taken apart, resprayed in black and all the bits, bar the handle bars, upgraded. It's been sat round the back of our containers for around 15 years and after joining the forum, i figured i'd fire up some...

Much appreciated :?

Lol nope, definately just sticking to the one bike. Been down that road with cars, so I've learnt my lesson...I think. Please don't hold it against me if I ask silly question though, it's a big learning curve for me.

Lol thanks for the welcome guys. I know it's a bit 'in yer face' but it makes it a bit more special in my eyes and tbh, I don't see it as retro at all really. I'm a panel beater/spray painter to trade, so over the winter I might end up giving it a fresh coat of paint. Have considered...

Many thanks
