Gents and forum gurus, May I enlist your assistance? Anybody know where I can locate a NOS/minty Shimano Deore XT RD M739 long cage rear derailluer? I'm getting a bit apprehensive. I've been searching eBay again, but all that I find is more questionable used stuff. I'm a bit reluctant as...

Is this Shimano Deore XT RD M739 still available? If so, please e-mail me the details, as I am interested. Thanks.

OK. I gather that the lack of response suggets that I may be SOOL in trying to find these. Not fun! Anybody got any suggestions? Or is my next option to find a replacement derailluer/rear mech?

Afternoon Gents. May I enlist your assistance? Can the senior members/gurus herein help me locate a couple of NOS pulley sets for a Shimano RD M739 8 SIS rear derailluer? I'm doing some maintenance and determined that I will need to replace them, probably at the next chain replacement...

Moderators and gurus - can you help a reader out? I'd like to convert this topic into a reader poll which I hope to steer the results a the various helmet manufacturers. I'm across the pond, and live in a rural section in Michigan, USA. Dairy cattle country. Manure holding ponds, warm...

I buy NOS as spare parts for the running gear. Once I get a ride dialed in so that it works for me (with particular emphasis on the crank arms, chain set, bottom bracket, front and rear derailluers, chain, and cassette), I keep an inventory of spares to keep the ride in use. I ride about...

Good to hear that the repair woked and is holding together. Dont be too disappointed though if it resurfaces after additional use. Was/is this a custom TI frame? Two common causes for a TI frame to crack in the weld: 1) Poor prefit/too much space and 2) temperature control. In the case of...

And here is a pic of the bike as I bought it

Can any of the retro gurus assist with a year identification question? I bought a beat up Schwinn Moab 2 for its frame (I'm kind of partial to the Moab hardtails). I had the frame professionally stripped and podercoated, and built and new bike on that frame. It turned out quite well. I'm...

The Zen of the ride. Those rare moments when you, your bike, the location and the weather intersect and generate a truly memorable experience. That first swallow of beer chasing away a bad case of humble pie after a poor finish in a race.

My 98 Schwinn Moab 1. Like them so much that I bought a used frame just a few weeks from being scrapped and resurected it to one sweet ride.

In the event that any forum readers are interested.... The Tange NT TG 22x5/32 retainer bearings are the same as are used in the FSA Pig (top bearing). Found this out by accident.

Oh, in the pic sent with the original post, that is a mud pit in the pic mid-ground. One of six on that mile stretch alone. I did a bit of recon on the course yesterday morning. It had rained heavily on Friday afternoon and evening, snowed Saturday afternoon and evening. So Sunday morning...

So, any MTB'ers here in the forum got any recommendations for rear guards that keep the crap out of the front derailluer? Pretty much all of 'em keep it off the back and backside. I'm looking for one that shields the front mech., if one exists. Suggestions or recommendations are appreciated...

A question for the MTB'ers members. If I may, can I get some feedback from the site's MTBers members that race? The race season for the Midwest here in the US starts in three weeks. This first race, the Barry Roubaix, if wet, is a sloppy mud run. The race is run at a time when the spring thaw...

A question for this site's masters and gurus, a question about the art (black?) and science of fitting a bike to its rider. A recent thread about bar ends/riser bars on a MTB setup, and a question from a ride buddy caused me to begin systematically looking for a site which explains the details...

Serfas BP330 work well for me. A bit more coin than the Kool Stop. Either will work...

Any interest in a flat bar with a bit of sweep? Depending on how well your bike is fitted to your measurements, you have a couple of options; riser bar, adjustable stem, fixed stem with more rise/steeper angle, and swept bar. Bar ends on a MTB setup that is primarily ridden off-road can be...

This is a follow-on question to my earlier thread about a what is a suitable replacement for a 98 Rockshox Judy XC. Attention Schwinn Moab owners... Have any Moab owners gone to a more modern fork say 80mm travel (from the original 63mm)? If so, how did doing so alter the ride? It looks like...

Huh? Just bought two off the shelf yesterday at my local bike shop. My second set....
