Resolved this with a purchase of 7mm external circlips off eBay. I had to buy 10 so have a few left. If anyone wants a couple drop me a pm and for the cost of a stamp I will happily send them on, though it'll have to be sometime next week as at a family wedding this weekend.

Testing look of new fork Pic not as massive...

Lol, I will try and go with smaller pics in future. Thanks to markwashington for year - Wbikepedia, I think is wrong then though it has no wolf ridge listed. Marzzochi marathons now on - but will not post pic til I can re-size. Whole idea is not to spend too much on it. Have already...

And here she is in her current state....awaiting new forks

But not sure what year it is. Had it from new since Jan 2000 so must be the 1999 model. Went for the hope brakes upgrade (C2 with sport levers). Since then upgraded wheels to Hope XC hubs mated to some Magic disc specific rims not sure which version though. The fork was knackered and the brakes...

Cheers to big.eck be good if you do have the required bit . In picture below I've tried to point to it with the end of a screwdriver but its not very clear as black inside black. The adjusted is in the middle and on the shaft is a collar under which the external circlip fits - its around 6.8mm...

Having had a few minutes in the garage it seems,like the circlip is to blame...don't suppose anyone knows what size it is?

By being a little too heavy handed last week I seem to have messed up the master cylinder cap on my Hope Sport lever. Perhaps I need to put up pictures and will do so on request. The thumb adjuster now slides through the cap which seems to indicate that the circlip and/or spring washer are no...

Being as cack handed as I can be whilst lovingly rebuilding my aged Hope C2 I've managed to damage one beyond repair. Whilst I could fanny about getting another old set off flea bay to canabalise it may just be easier to bite the bullet. So I need a set of reliable hydraulic brakes that will...

That last post should say crank arm - damn this alleged smartphone....

They are the same as these from a Google image search.. http://www.sjscycles.com/store/1458shimanolxm571.jpg Thing is the large chain ring is machined to fit the cranny arm. Will post pics,later if I am able to. What details/measurements do I need to consider if replacing with any of...

Very true - there is nothing better than a new bike but with two small children it's not going to happen for a while... And yes it is a Marin Wolf Ridge with the Hope C2 brakes and sport levers which I am presently taking apart, cleaning, replacing all the seals etc and putting back together...

Just like to say hi - have just joined the forum after getting hacked off with other forums where the advice is buy a new bike rather than fix what you have. Have recently stripped the bike down and am putting it together piece by piece. As I do I am coming across a few things that I need...
