Hello First - White Industries hub on Mavic 231 rim. Professionally built up. The rim does have one slight up and down section but it is not bad. The hub has a small amount of play but again, its not bad. Side walls have plenty of life left in them. £35 shipped. And finally, two bits of karma...

Re: KARMA RAFFLE: XT levers ST-M739 Yes please Stumpy :)

Great comms and lovely shifters. No complaints here. Thank you!

Re: Brakes, Levers, Mechs, Shifters, & Stems I'd like to buy the STX RC 8 spd shifter pods please. PM sent.

One mended so far. Hopefully I haven't killed them by riding them put together wrong. Play is still there. I can grip the inner and the stanchions and wiggle them about. I'm pretty certain it's the bushings.

Yes they do...But they stick out like that right? OK just checked the manual (thanks for the link). And they are too high! omg.. So it looks like I'll be buying a new set of everything and rebuilding then. It's all good practice I suppose. Thanks for the replies all.

Hiya, I have this machine that I recently put together and I absolutely love it. I think it may have a lot to do with the bombers. Only ever ridden rigid in anger before this. I have a small problem with my forks though. There is a bit of flex between the inners/sliders(?) and the stanchions...

PM regarding 28.6 front mech

Hiya, yes, Ive used new seals. The bushings are like new ;) Does this mean I need to re do them again and this time stick some grease in? I'm guessing yes.

Hiya, I've recently stripped down a set of Bombers and changed the oil and seals. I neglected to grease the oil and dust seal before re inserting the stanchions as I read somewhere that the forks were open bath and therefore everything would nicely self lubricate. After re assembly, the forks...

It happened to me on a couple of bikes when I put some slicks on with higher tyre pressures. Worst was a catastrophic failure whilst stationary. I noticed the brakes rubbing all of a sudden and stopped to inspect the rear wheel. I could see some deformation of the rim but decided to carry on as...

Re: Old Bike 1996 Deore DX top spec Tange struts, xtr front Could you tell me the make/model of that saddle please? It looks like the one I used to have on my old bike but have never been able to find since.

Unfortunately you were referred to a totally useless psychiatrist. Moreover, the good ones are very few and far between. Good luck with the YOU helping yourself thing. I think its true but its bloody hard work... and lonely. Keep on keeping on x x x

I saw this vid a few weeks ago and it really made my day. Funniest thing I've watched for ages. I think it may help if he had a bit more of a breather between attempts.

Re: Unknown Nickel plated 4lb cromo frame - likely ballistic Ooh nice to see this. I've got one almost exactly the same and have been wondering what on earth it is. Mine's Prestige steel and the dropouts are different although still Ritchey. I don't think it's got the diamonds around the bottle...

Them's the ones mister. Don't tell anyone though ;)
