Thanks, it in superb condition for its age, no marks on it, I have heard these stems reaching silly money. With hindsight we should of all brought more mtb parts in the 90s

So I have what is a rare item A cook bros dogbone stem 1" quill 150mm length high rise. What is an estimated sale value?

What a fantastic collection, and a Team frs! impressive, I've only had the pleasure of working on one those, and that was in about 1995, never seen one since.

If you are using XTR, performance wise you can't be Shimano XTR cable set, the one with the coated black teflon inner wires. It is superb, having used both I know where I'd put my money. With respect, Jagwire are good as are Clarks, Transfil is another alternative, if you go down this route...

I've used hundreds of different greases over 20 plus years, the only grease I don't like is lithium, although cheap, it used to dry out and go powdery and resulted in stuck seat posts, however, that was some years ago, but it was enough for me to not use it again, some have mentioned exus blue...

There was 2 sizes of canti studs, M8 and M10, and I thought they was M10 on Cannondale.

What an unusual contraption, Never seen before, so today is a first. Is the stem fixed in place?

Ahh, bugger, there's a technical way of describing that.

The Xc50h is a hybrid fork, rare as chickens teeth

Ooh they bring back some 90s memories, It was a good fork, open oil bath, just like the bombers, the one with holes in are xc400, I think circa 1992

Can you put a picture up? Then I might be able to see what bits fell off.

And all Shimano dust covers were the same size from what I remeber.

The TL-FC21 is longer, same fittings, the TL-FC20 was a bit of a bugger if the chainring bolts were too tight

Welcome sptb, Good to see you getting involved and all nostalgic! And a cracking bike Looking at the bike, cassette would be 7 speed? 12-28 would be fine to replace, not sure there is much choice for that. Short cage limit would be about 28t Chainrings may be ok, clean them up and have a...

The spring in exage shifters used to stick causing it not to work, and sometimes the spring broke.........but reading your post again, I'd be inclined to start with a new inner and outer gear cable. First things to check, remove the outer gear housing from the stop. You can do this simply, have...

A sub 400g mtb rim is light, there weren't many round at the time, araya 395 was one other, they were lighter than an x517/ A mavic 230 was a lighter and updated version of the 231. Sadly the 230's we/re not the strongest rims available, mind the 90s brought us some massive changes for mtb...

Plus 1 for the above. additional notes, there will be 9, 1/4 " bearings each side You can strip the internals of a freehub body, its a bit fiddly but doable, but when they seizing or sticking, the damage is already done, so it may run rough when flushed out.

I think there is a solution, of rethreading and using a slightly larger extractor, I remember using a stronglight or ta extractor, if my memory serves me. however this is not an easy off the shelf job for parts. Other option is helicoil it. I'll check in the workshop tomorrow as I think there...

I'm sure I can do something for you, I've just sent you a pm but it's sat in the outbox! no idea why

Is it a complete bike? and if so, what is it? Daft questions I know, but I may be able to help. I'm in Tunbridge Wells, so only 6 miles or so up the road
