Re: It wasn't Total Bike was it one_bad_mofo? I'm starting to think that was the name of the mag that had the bike listings for pretty much every mtb in production for each season starting from lowest price to the highest. I bought it once or twice and it seemed to vanish from the shelves...

Re: That's the one, thanks for posting the pic of that, I started getting into mountain biking in early '98 so I' m guessing there'd have been a lot of American makes on the scene by then. I remember MBI raving on about the Scott Endorphin and at the time thinking how it looked like something...

Hi I was wondering if anyone else on here remembers Mountain Biker International Magazine? It was by far my favourite bike mag back in the day. I used to buy it religiously every month from about 1998 to 1999, does anyone know what happened to it? I loved the places to ride feature and drooling...

Re: Thanks for your suggestions, I ended up drilling a hole just below the crack and extended the slot down to meet that, the hole is a bit off centre but still managed to bring the slot down to meet it, filed any rough edges internally, it's crude but it seems to have done the trick. I'm just...

Hello I have an old Raleigh Yukon, the orange and yellow model from the early nineties which I picked up from a house clearance shop. I've noticed the seatpost slips a few mm every time I ride it, I've realised the person who previously had the bike had put the wrong sized post in the frame...

Re: Thank you pigman

Re: You're flipping fast!

Re: Thanks, yeah I've looked at a few NOS ones and they're quite expensive.

Re: Thanks, I might have to take you up on that pigman, would you be able to hold on to it for a couple of weeks?

Re: I'd love to have a go at that if I had the right tools.

Re: Thanks for your replies, it just seems a shame that nobody is catering for riders that liked using a 2x7 transmission on a racer, I like the simplicity of it, it's what I got back into cycling on four years ago. I like the idea of customising and eight speed cassette, is that a very easy...

I don't know if this is the right place to post this but I wanted to know why you know longer see any compact/close ratio 7 speed cassettes anymore? You know like the type fitted to racers back in the day. Does anyone know the closest thing to one of those being produced today? I've had to...

Re: I meant jimo746 sorry.

Re: Thanks for all your kind replies, the information you've given me is highly valued. I didn't think I was going to get so many replies. I'd be interested in seeing a few pics of the RSX shifters and RX100 front mech please Jimbo I'm pretty familiar of RX100 kit, the bike that got me...

Re: I will get back to you about the shifters, they're very nice looking, I used to have full RX100 kit on a racer and I loved it, are the RX100 ones 7 or 8 if you don't mind me asking? I took the wheel into my LBS and it's had it, discovered the rim's dented as well so it's going to have to...

Re: Hello again walkmanman Wow you must have stockpile of cool older stuff. The RSX levers sound good, would you be able to DM me a pic of them please? What would their compatibility be like with a pair of Shimano Exage EX300 caliper brakes? What sort of price would you be looking for...

Re: Thank you That would be great, I'm interested in buying the freehub off you. I'm going to take the wheel into my lbs tomorrow for a further diagnosis and as soon as I know more I'll get back to you regardless in a few days time if that's ok. How much would you want for it? Thanks

Hello Is anyone interested in selling a set of 2x7 Shimano Brifters? I'm having real problems trying to find some. If you prefer to do a swap I have a bunch of components including RX100 front and rear derailleurs and downtube shifters and EX500 brakes and levers and some other bits.

Re: Hi Thanks for getting back to me, where are you based? How much would you want for them?

Hello Just thought I'd ask if anyone has a spare 26" wheel with 130mm OLN for my 92 Raleigh Yukon; I think the freehub body mechanism is knackered on my bike. Alternatively has anyone got a spare 7 speed shimano cassette freehub body they could sell or swap with other parts I have. Components...
