Re: These guys sell them as a combo. https://www.ebay.com/itm/SUNRACE-8-11S- ... MD0Hy7Eagw I use this on my old Trek, works fine.

Re: Quick google search, and found this: https://forum.cyclinguk.org/viewtopic.php?t=46476 I guess they are self energising...

Re: I seem to remember reading about these in the 90s. I believe they are some kind of ABS system like on cars. I don't know how it works, or if it works. I guess they weren't a success. Never seen these anywhere.

That's just beautiful. Perfection! But just looking at those gears makes my knees hurt.

Not 100% sure but it looks like an early nineties Shimano Alivio. Heavy and nothing special in their range, but a solid piece of kit that should work faultless for years. But you Alan is worthy of something better looking :D

Re: Hi, I used the same shifters on an old bike for years. It was a cheap replacement to get the bike going again after my grip shifters wore out. They were bomb proof, never missed a beat. Just make sure the rear derailleur has good spring tension and that the cables run smooth. These might...

Is this the one you are after? https://www.ebay.com/itm/campagnolo-MTB ... Sweflda6Ag

Re: What a beauty. Looks amazing. This was the one bike I always wanted. I've only ever seen one in the flesh. Enjoy!!

Ah yes, this picture of the Sakae shows the differences a lot better. The one I found looked like it had similar lugs, but here the differences are clear. They are beauties all of them though. I have 3 bonded AL frames myself. A Vitus 992 frame in the same color as the one above and an Alan CX...

Re: Just out of curiosity, are these the same as the Vitus mtbs from the same era?

Re: These sold well in the Netherlands. Some of the sponsored guys in my cycling club got a deal on these at the time. Believe they were handling well and and not noodly at all. Comfortable on longer rides, though I think thats more because of geometry than material. From what I have seen they...

Re: You could try a short cage with a road link if it is functionality you're after. Hears good stories about these. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Aluminum-Bic ... 4XwWbqfNHA

Re: You should be able to calculate them using H and I from the table.

Re: Here is my first attempt of a drop bar mtb. Will be used mainly as a commuter and perhaps some gravel riding. Used the 1991 Trek 6000 frame which I bought a few years back and had been in storage since. Combined with a mixed bag of old parts and some new this is the initial result. Picture...

Re: Thanks for the replies. Will try the coke can this weekend. Never had this issue either, wonder if the cheap ebay levers don't work with as precise tolerances... Will post the result somewhere next week in the drop bar forum post.

I am trying my hand at a 26' drop bar conversion. I have bought a pair of cheap v-brake compatible brake levers of ebay and am using an my old Cinelli bars. Now I don't seem to be able to tighten the brake lever clamps enough. Its very close, but I would not want them to start moving once off...

I went for a SunRace 11-40 cassette. Haven't tried it yet. Bought it for the gears, not for the weight though. On of these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/SUNRACE-M680-8- ... Sw8FtZfWFs Oh, one more thing, you might need a roadlink or similar to make this work.

Looks like a tack allure pro in team colors. http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/1623069550 ... rmvSB=true

Re: Just out of curiosity, why did you go for left hand drive?
