I'm pretty certain this isn't a "whats it worth thread" but please accept my apologies in advance if the mods think it is. I've got some wheels in the classifieds but there's not been too much interest. Now, hub/spoke/rim choices can be a very personal thing. Just wonder if people though bare...

Brakes now sold. £125 per bikes worth. Wheels are still available at at £125 per pair.

I'm reluctant to split a pair of wheels at this stage. Similarly, I'm happy to swap rims around but only as a pair. If some one now posts to say they want the other wheel in black with the x317 cd then we're in business.

sorry, double post.

D321 rims now sold @£32.50 inc postage. Thank you very much.

The silver hubs are currently built onto Mavic X317 CD rims. I'd be looking for £125 for the wheels. (wheels include double butted spokes and Hope spiders but not the rotors or wheels skewers) Pics to follow later today hopefully.

Pics are not a problem. General shots or is there any aspect you're particularly interested in?

Hi ba57ards, happy to sell the rims if no one wants them as part of a wheel package. How does £25 for the rims and £7.50 for postage take your fancy? nobby the sheep, perfectly valid point about the price. I've seen stuff going for over £100 on ebay and even if I do say so myself, my stuff...

Hi All, I'm not on here a lot, I'm more often found on Singletrack. However, I have some stuff I'm upgrading and wondered if it might be of more interest to people on here. I've got two pairs of Hope BULB wheels for sale. I'm happy to swap bit around if needed but here's what I've got...

old chainlines Didn't chainlines used to be 45 and 47.5mm? I thought the modern idea of 47.5 and 50mm came about with the introduction of HTII bottom brackets and nine speed drives. I might be remembering things incorrectly though.

bearing conversion I'm not familiar with the particular bike but would be happy to offer an opinion if you post some pics. Generally such a thing isn't going to work as the original design accommodates 2 or 3mm of bushing material. That wouldn't give enough housing to bore it out to take a...

buy in bulk I would imagine that the thinking there is that although one set at £75 sounds expensive, three sets for £100 seems more reasonable and should see you right for a good few years. Another think to think about if you can't fit deep groove ball bearings in there is to see if you can...

Bottom bracket 122.5 rings a bell with me. I seem to remember that when I killed off my Topline cranks, I needed a shorter axle to fit the XTs rather than the 127 they needed.

info Thanks for the heads up. Looks like that old frame of mine might never find the loving home it so deserves!

what's retro? So, what's the cut off point? Is it pre and post millennium? Does that cut off point change every year? After all, that Intense frame becomes ten years old this year. Or is it just that people are now grown up and in a position to buy the bike they always hankered after in...

spare parts I'm afraid all my manitou/answer stuff went some time ago. The nearest have t retro stuff now is an 2001 intense tracer frame sat in a box. Not sure if it's old enough to be retro through.

saddles If you like the SDG then why not. However, I don't think they were overly popular in the UK at that time. Pretty much every custom build we did was a Flite. People also liked us to leave the little plastic medallion with the red string on when they collected their bike!

Manitou frames I was working in a bike shop and riding Manitou frames around this time. As I remember, they were only frame sets. Certainly in the UK. The catalogue may show a built up bike but that's not uncommon for things that sell as a frame only. Mine had a Flite Ti saddle at that...

Another new face Hi All, Thought the polite thing to do was say hello before doing anything else. Normally, I can be found on Singletrack World. Best to be upfront, the reason I'm here is that I have a 2001 Intense Tracer ball burnished medium that I've not used for a couple of years and...
