As I don't own a vernier guage (it's on the list), can anyone tell me or point me in the right direction to find out, the seat post size for a 1995 Klein Fervor? I found what appears to be a tech manual for all Kleins of the era online and it had every measurement but that one... Cheers...

Crikey! The dang thing is, I know I've got one or at least had one somewhere but I think it got lost with a house move about 5 years ago. I'll wait 'till later on and give Dean a chance to get pics etc, but if not then I'll def PM you for yours. Cheers Paddy

Scant / Dean - many thanks to both. As Dean got in there first i'll wait and check out the pics but Scant if I could have dibs on that one it'd be great? Many thanks again, Paddy

I'm sure I've got an album of theirs somewhere... :lol:

Looking for an older Flite Ti i.e. just leather, none of this gel malarky :D Needs to be black and in good condition... Cheers Paddy

My first MTB ride in a decade was last Sunday, on a fully rigid Klein of mid-nineties vintage, with some 1.95's at around 50psi. For the terrain I ride it was a liberating however very uncomfortable experience. My local area is very rutted, with lots of stones / rocks and tree roots. I found...

I'd start here, give as much detail as you can.. http://www.postoffice.co.uk/portal/po/content2?catId=20000202&mediaId=3100051 Good luck! Paddy

Could well be the carbs if it's been sat with fuel it in then the bowls may be gummed up. Get some carb cleaner from a motor spares place and squirt it direct into the carbs then try again.. Paddy

Me - Exmouth in Devon. Stereotypical british seaside town but it has it's charms.

Sounds like a good plan. My other half's next venture will be to Haldon just outside Exeter, starting with a circuit of the Adventure trail to warm up then into the red run :D I'm a bit worried though, she can climb like a damn mountain goat, once her confidence level at downhill and general...

My other half came with me for her first proper off road mtb ride today. She managed a 12 mile yomp around on Woodbury common in Devon. She's only been riding for a month or so and we recently picked her up a modern Specialized, nothing too special but a huge improvement over the lump of...

I'd certainly go for a chemical method for removing paint / crud, you might get away with blasting it but possibly end up pitting the surface and leaving more work as stated.

What was the solution?

Yup they're a pain the proverbial, so my apologies to Scant who just got one from me. They happen where your account is funded from a Bank Account, if you fund from a credit card then I believe it retains the old instant(ish) transfer. I've not altered my PayPal account as I've no wish to...

Another smooth transaction, cheers fella.

Already using a converter with a threadless stem on a 1" threaded steerer rigid fork at the moment so I'm covered there, just need to change the headset for a threadless 1" jobbie. If you've got a hanger to enable use of canti's them I'm definately in for 2nd dibs :) Cheers Paddy

Couple of quick questions (he says having actually engaged his brain before posting this time)... :D Will these take cantilevers? What length travel are they? If the intended recipient bike currently has a 1" threaded headset them presumably it'll just be a case of changing to a threadless...

2nd dibs please.
