Is it just me, but I can't seem to see these pics?

Re: Parkpre Team 925....finally start the strip down & rebui Ok, possible change of heart re the forks. I'm now thinking of about buying some new Suntour's (to take the canti's) with lock out. For the sort of XC riding I will be using it for they will be fine, 80mm of travel. Or maybe...

If a suspension fork has brake bosses be it old or new fork, can it therefore take v and canti brakes?

Don't suppose they would be any good for RST Mozo Pro W forks would they?

Well they look in a whole lot better condition than mine. Do you think RST shocks of the mid to late '90's all used the same length & diameter elastomers? If they are likely to fit my Mozo Pro's then I would be very interested in them. PM me if you like, and thanks for the offer.

I took these apart last weekend & the elastomers are toast. Does anyone know where I can get replacement elastomers for RST forks? Alternatively does anyone know if I were to buy a 2nd hand cheap RST fork were they all elastomer? So could I swap out the parts? Any help would be appreciated as I...

Like it a lot, good to see club Roost on other peoples builds, love it:-)

Re: Parkpre Team 925....finally start the strip down & rebui Ok, so after trying the Halfords rattle can lacquer idea, let the frame cure for a week, I went to apply the decals & as it tried to attach the decals to the bike they peeled off all the lacquer I had applied the week before. So...

Finally got around to taking a look inside these shocks....... Anybody got any ideas on how I can rescue these? I don't even know where you would go to try & get replacement elastomers / MCU's from? Even if I managed to get new MCU's, how do you get them on as the rod running through the...

Anyone had any experience of clear powder coating, pros & cons? Any pics of frames that have been done? Thinking about getting it done to a polished steel frame.

Thats right I did lacquer over a polished steel frame, I didn't want to clear powder coat as when I looked into it, it wasn't gonna give me the polished finish I was looking for. so I tapped up REKIBoter who has the same frame as mine, finished in polished steel & he advised me as to what he did...

Last night I managed to put 3 coats of clear on my polished steel frame. No rubbing down between coats, leaving around 15 mins between coats. I followed instructions on the can, light dustings not so heavy as to get runs. I maintained the 20/30cm spraying distance. However I checked the frame...

Re: Parkpre Team 925....finally start the strip down & rebui Got the rattle can lacquer out today, 3 coats with 24 hours to harden, fingers crossed Then started to clean up some of the LX components I think I might just keep the red anno parts, they are beginning to grow on me...

Just out of interest once you have polished your ally frame, what are you planning (if at all) to use on the polished surface to protect the finish? The reason I ask is because I have recently striped & polished my Parkpre steel frame but am at...

Is there an easy way of stripping the anno finish back to metal (silver)?

Just polished up my Parkpre Team 925 frame & was wondering whether or not to give it a laquer (rattle can) coating. Previous posts on this matter seem to be pretty inconclusive......

Re: New to me as of yesterday.....Parkpre content Right this one has been close to 9 months sitting in my shed, so today I decided to get started on it...... I striped the bike leaving the a-head set cups & the bottom bracket then I got out the paint stripper....... After washing it down...

Gonna be watching this thread again chaps, that Bear Valley powder coated black is the same model year as my one (pic posted back on page 2 I think), great bikes to ride. Good luck with the build.

Good skills on the Yamaha cable guide, I will be requiring one of these in the near future, can you tell me if you can just buy these by ordering online or do you have to buy the whole Yamaha cable setup just for the guide. Any pointers will be much appreciated . Bike looking very sic btw. I...
