Hi, I'm working on a rear Pulstar hub. USA-made, not Taiwan. The drive-side bearing is shot. But to extract this (sealed) bearing, I had to remove the freehub, including the star part (don't know the name) that screws into the hub shell. This star part has 4 pins, 2.2mm diameter each with 26mm...

Hi, Was wondering if this is possible? The hub shell looks similar to me. Is it just replacing the axle and outer caps? BTW, any ideas when these hubs entered the market? I can find the "classic" RC-50 composite hub in the '93 Pace hardware catalogue, but I've no idea for the XC and MT Lock...

Are you sure it's 1991? I thought that S-bent chainstays and seatstays were later.

Pictures stolen from velovintageagogo.com website. This thing was killer in the mud.

Hi, How do you tell the difference between a '93 Pace RC-35 AB and a '94 RC-35 XCS? The wiki (https://www.retrobike.co.uk/wiki/Pace) only states: Similar to the AB fork but featuring a simpler brace. How simpler? There's no picture of such XCS fork on Goatsurfer (only Scapin version, so don't...

Hi, I'm after the rim in title. All I can find is 36 holes. Or in 20" or 700c size. Or the silver version. I need the dark one in 32 holes, 26". Thanks!

Nope. Litespeed in the USA.

Hi, Which bottom bracket this spindle was made for? The only occurrences I can find are in the 1993 Merlin catalogue (well, 1994 here in the Archive section; the 1993 and 1994 catalogues are swapped). In 1993, the Merlin Mountain frame no more has Grease Guard ports drilled in the bottom...

And what about the reverse: is it possible to thread a threadless steerer to convert from threadless to threaded headset?

As for the Toyota MR2 previously, on the motorcycle field, there's the Yamaha TDM. TDM being the acronym for Tas De Merde in French (Pile Of Shit).

Suspenders (from Mountain Cycle).

Hi, Could someone with the still original cable housings on his/her Grisley MTB (or someone having replaced them, cut to the original lengths) tell me what the cable housing lengths are, please? As it's internal routing, I'm reluctant to play the try/error game :LOL:. Ideally, someone with a...

Now I understand the Syncros logos at the sides of the handlebar: great effect with transparent grips!

So I was fortunate enough (pure coincidence!) to put my hands on what seemed to be a frameset version (https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/94-erm-92-well-93-rocky-mountain-cirrus-rebuild.390738/): white and black decals and no clearcoat at all, so no peeling :)

Awesome detective work with some cool information that I didn't knew at all. Many thanks! Regarding the swingarm, there's the crocodile (as you call it) version with square ends, the later version with round ends and also one that I didn't found mentioned in your history document and that seems...

Too bad that the MC FB is a private group! Did you finally succeed at hosting the San Andreas timeline you were working on here at RB archives?

Just for me to understand; what springs are you referring, please? The "elastomer stacks"?
