Hello, it's an Mc18 which I think is an old Alivio or stx hub. I've defo got nine bearings each side of the correct size. On the none drive side it all fits perfect and there's no play at allwhilst on the drive side there is significant play there. I'm guessing there must be a slight bend in...

Hello!! I took it apart and double checked the amount of bearings. Nine either side. They are brand new bearings and the free hub which is the side thats causing me bother is brand new too. The other side when I tighten the bearings up seems to fit quite happily. It's the free hub side that has...

Sh** never thought of that Ishaw! Ah well a new axle is ordered now so we'll see. Thanks anyway.

Well just ordered a new axle off ebay complete with the end bits (can never remember what they are called) so hopefully one i've changed all that it'll solve the problem. My thinking is if the axle is bent then the cone can't be seating properly on the end so hopefully this will fix it.

Just double checked the part number and it is correct plus it's identical to the old freehub. I got the part number off the shimano tech website as well. It has to be right. Better bloody had be anyway lol. But the play does appear to be all in the freehub side. Hmm I still suspect a bent axle...

Hello, can anyone help me? I've picked up a Scott MTB the other week and it's got a problem with the rear hub. Basically it sounded rough and there appeared to be float in the rear freehub. The cogs would move about a bit when it freewheeled. So upon the advice of my lbs I've renewed the the...

Hi, is the frame size definitely 21" and how much to post please? Thanks.

This one was mine here http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewto ... highlight=

Very, very tempted! I used to own exactly the same model. Bought it new in 1995. Lovely bike!! What happened to the chainset? The original should be an alivio.

Yeah I thought I'd got in there ahead of everyone looking at the posts. I was getting replies too. It's like being at the front of a shop cue and someone at the back gets to walk past everyone and gets served first ya know? I mean of course the guy has every right to sell his bike to whoever he...

Agreed mate. Wish I'd been informed. Ah well thats how it goes I guess. Another will come along sooner or later.

Has anyone actually bought this bike yet? Only I've been messaging the gentleman about it but he's gone quiet. I soo want to buy this bike! To miss out on it would be like walking up the aisle with the girl of my dreams only to have her dump me for the vicar at the alter! Lol! That's how serious...

Just replied to your message mate but not sure if it's sent.

What does it mean when people say "bump" lol? If it means you're interested than i'm interested in these wheels too so bump....

Oh wait sorry i've just re read the title lol. Too early in the morning this is.

Hi, what size frame is this please?

Oh no don't worry I'm a novice myself. I have actually got a multimeter but don't know how to use it ha ha! I'll figure it out somehow.

Just done some research on it and apparently Van Bus was invented by .... Peugeot Citroen. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_Area_Network Can you imagine that? A french car maker inventing an electrical system! I'm sure you can see the endless possibillities for reliability issues there lol...

I do have a bit of knowledge myself, just that this problem was right on the limit of my understanding if you get me? A 206 with it being a little older would either be on the regular old school electrics or on something known as van bus wiring I think. My 307 uses can bus wiring. What's the...

For some reason I can't post on the Peugeot forums i'm on so in the mean time until it's sorted I thought i'd see if there is anyone on these forums who has the knowledge I seek! Or lack lol! Ok it's going to get technical now... Right, my Peugeot, a four year old 307, I changed the head...
