Rear wheel, was taken off my CC in c. 94/95, when I upgraded the wheelset: Ukai UMT-17 Rim - very good, no deep scratches or gouges, just a couple of minor scratches, braking surfaces good as only used for 3 years, runs pretty true - perhaps a mm movement either way at most, sure it could be...

Was going to put all these in one ad, but on preview it only seemed to pick up 4 of the 8 pics, so I've spilt them. Would prefer collection and certainly better for you as these are a little on the weighty side... Joe's Clips & SR Sakae pedals: Clips themselves are actually complete -...

OK, thanks for replies, you're right, using a screwdriver the spring assembly did eventually come away - probably the first time its been off in 8 yrs... Any idea if PTFE tape would provide enough meat to 'fill out' the threads? If not, I'll try glueing the screw in, but if just having one...

Just wondered whether you can remove the spring adjuster element of a v-brake arm? Trying to centalise the pads, I found the small hex bolt was spinning in its thread. Thought the bolt threads might have stripped, but on closer look I realised the spring adjuster housing had cracked. They...

Charge quote 415mm as seat tube length, but forget to specify whether that's C-C or C-T... :? So, any chance you could get the old measure out...??? Oh, and any dings/dents/cracks etc? Cheers

Funnily enough I bought some 5WT this afternoon, however, after looking at a 1 litre bottle on CRC for £13.99, I popped in to the local motorbike shop and got myself some Motul non foaming / synthetic etc etc, exactly the same stuff as CRC were selling, for £7.99 (one litre). Got to be the...

I put it in General / Off Topic... last time I checked a 2001/2002 HT with 80mm forks was fairly 'old school', and since I wasn't asking what colour socks I should wear whilst riding it, I thought I'd re-post it in Retro MTB chat, where I've posted all my previous technical / what part shall I...

Posted this in the wrong forum...ooops, anyway here it is: I've been thinking for a little while now that I'd upgrade the forks on my Buckshot H/T from the std 80mm Mars Elites to 100mm (Reba/MX Comp etc). Couple of reasons, first I'd like to do a full service / refurb on them, but have...

I've been thinking for a little while now that I'd upgrade the forks on my Buckshot H/T from the std 80mm Mars Elites to 100mm (Reba/MX Comp etc). Couple of reasons, first I'd like to do a full service / refurb on them, but have been told that Manitou don't hold any spares (o-rings, seals...

Jason 802, thanks for link, they looked spot on until I noticed they were disk only... :cry: Not sure why, but this thread now has a 'Moved' notice in the title - any ideas why or where to??? EDIT: appears to have gone now... am having second thoughts re forks, but as its totally...

I really do wonder about some people... Looking at a couple of options at present, either longer travel forks (from 80 to 100mm!) for my current HT or perhaps a newer 100/120mm forked steel HT. So, see a couple of possabilities on ebay, though one of the ads looked like it had been written...

I'm looking to get a slightly longer travel fork for my Buckshot Pro (currently 80mm Manitou Mars Elites), and based on various reviews and a reply from Tomac themselves, 100mm seems to be where it is in terms of recommended travel, though they did say you might even get away with 120mm, but I...

Well I guess that's where a good relationship with your LBS comes in... or with two in my case. One of them removed the offending crank for £5, the other has given free advice on various occasions and even given me the odd used part to help me with my old Kona. While I have and will continue...

Here is a pic of the non drive side. I measured the distance from the outside edge of the crank to the BB shell, and it was about 31mm on the drive side and about 33mm on the non drive side, so while only 2mm or so, I'm not sure if this will prove critical when I start putting the power down -...

Hi, just wondered if any of you could shed any light on this. Unsure how much to tighten the crank bolt in the non drive side of my 2002 Tomac (Race Face Turbine crankset). I had to remove the cranks in order to fit a new BB (ISIS cartridge), but whereas the drive side came off easily with...

Blimey, that sounds a bit involved for a luddite like me... perhaps I'll just wait for the hub to curl it's toes up and start from scratch. Thanks for reply anyway :)

I've got these hubs on my '91 Kona, with a 7spd cassette, been on for years, just wondered if the hub (FH-M563) would be compatible with an 8spd cassette?

bump...

... must be black, 90mm or 100mm, 10 degree, 25.4mm, nice condition. Please PM me if you have anything?

Haven't a clue I'm afraid... Haven't decided if I'll make the trek over to view it yet... was hoping for a little more info from people here before handing over a load more fuel duty to our new chancellor...
