I'm not able to move axle spacers around because its a mavic hub, 130mm alloy axle with no spacers.

The spacers are all brown in colour. I have quite a few other 8 speed maillard freewheels from back in the day, they all have black spacers & they all work great on a Shimano 8 speed index setup. I rode the Velo Retro ride on this problematic freewheel a few weeks back using 8 speed index...

I bought an 8 speed freewheel from ebay, but noticed when fitted on the bike that the small sprocket was too close to the dropout. I measured it against another 8 speed Maillard freewheel which I know works fine, sure enough the spacing is wrong. It looks to me like it has 7 speed spacing. I...

I can remember this model, it was available as a frameset, 531C in 1987-1988, Kingfisher blue. A friend owned one of these & I had the slightly better red, white & blue frame from the same year.

Thanks Foreigner, that does look nice, its looks a good size, the sticking point might be that it has a top bar. I'm in Scotland, but travel down south frequently. I don't use Facebook, maybe I'm missing out on some good finds on that platform.

Looking for a mixte for my other half, needs to be a small size. Open to a variety of options ranging from a bare frameset in need of a complete rebuild to a ready-to-ride condition bike. She has her mind set on a used Mercian, Roberts, Bob Jackson etc, but they seem quite thin on the ground...

I could provide a good home for this. PM sent.

Thanks for that. I didn't know about the complete axle version. Though it looks like the only compatible part is the cone, so I'll probably wait until the WH-RS21 cones become available. Luckily I've got a spare winter machine which I'm now using. Cheers

Bought a nice fluted seatpost from Foreigner. Item was exactly as described, great communication & it arrived promptly. Thank you.

A bit of a long shot, modern wheels from my winter bike. I'm looking for a replacement cone for the front wheel. I can't find any shops online with it in stock at the moment. The official part number is - Shimano WH-RS21-CL-F Front Lock Nut Unit - Y49U98020 Thanks.

You've all inspired me to find a solution to this. I found these on ebay which seem to have done the trick nicely. If you search on Ebay for "DOG POINT A2 STAINLESS STEEL METRIC SOCKET ALLEN GRUB SCREWS", Width - M5, Length - 16mm. I got a 10 pack for £2.29. According to my calipers the...

Thanks for the info. At £25.25 with P&P, that's a hefty price for a tiny piece of metal. A similar story with my Campag BB spanner, when it broke decades ago I resorted to a basic adjustable tool and a Park SPA-1, I've never had one break on me since. Looks like mine will remain redundant in...

A bit of a long shot, but looking to swap these NOS hubs for identical NOS 6402 hubs in 32H. Purchased from The Cycle Clinic quite a few years ago. Happy to unbag & provide better images if need be. Thanks

Looking for a replacement pin for this BB spanner. Thanks

I bought a nice NOS Shimano 600EX brakeset from Tootyred a few weeks back. Arrived in the post on time & very well packaged. Excellent communication with seller before making the purchase. Recommended.

Dibs the silver one please.

Re: I have owned one a these from new, still gets used on my turbo. I think I bought mine in 1992. The rear spacing is 130mm, threaded 1" headset, 27.2mm seatpost. They come with a generous coat of lacquer which has prevented bumps & scratches on mine over the years. It won't become apparent...
