Re: Many thanks for the input. Regarding the hub construction: 800's appear to be cartridge bearings. But the 'end cap' screws down onto the hub via the threaded axle (making me think it is possible to swap axles). I have some 900 series hubs as well. They are cartridge bearings, but a...

My CODA 500 series hubs have finally had enough :( So i bought some CODA 800 series hubs :) The 500's were cup and cone, the 800's are cartridge. But more frustratingly, the 800 rear hub appears to be from a road bike and has an OLD of 130mm. The frame (Cannondale M400) will squeeze onto the...

Re: Do you mean one of these? I'm not sure 'top cap' is the best way to describe it, but this is the adjuster that sits at the top of the shock..... In case it helps - my original 'topcap' was plastic and rounded out on the inside. Probably a common problem considering they were marrying...

I concur: Specialized body geometry saddles are all my wife will even consider. Colour is vital, but another potential pitfall is how you accessorise the bike. A saddle bag in a slightly different shade of the same colour as the frame will produce an immediate look of distaste (and subsequent...

Good luck with the refurb'. Probably doesn't help, but just in case: I have the same forks - no damping cartridges or elastomers. Mine are coil sprung - with the damping adjustment provided by the weight of the oil you use. I might have modified mine as i like these older judy's and have...
