Just tried what you suggested. Still the same unfortunately. It feels like when you turn the forks you can feel a notch and then another one, etc.

Thanks I will have a go.

Hello I took my bicycle to a reputable bicycle shop today and asked them to reinstall my Campag headset circ 1987 and its bearings. Now I admit I am not a knowledgeable or experienced cyclist. But when I got home and rotated the front forks they felt very notchy. Surely after they had...

Thanks Mattr, just checked my crankset and the chain rings are 47 & 42, must of been assuming. The bicycle was used for cyclo cross and I have stripped it down.

Thank you again...I will give it a go 😁

Thanks again. I have 53t and 30 something on my crankset and was offered the 14t to 18t freewheel. I haven't cycled for over 6 months now. Worth a go or too much like hard work?

Thank you, so not really the best set up for every day flat roads and small inclines then?

Hello Still learning... Q. Why would you use a freewheel that has a range of only 14t to 18t (6 speed) please? Thank you

That would be great! Thank you...I will DM you 😀

The 135mm is the entire length of the axle. Thanks for looking and the effort 😀

Thanks for the info. It appears I will have to look at eBay, etc or there is a company called Wheels Manufacturing that has an axle that may be suitable though from one purchasers criticism its not perfect.

Any brand or is there a specific brand that works very well?

Thank you...

Hello I am not that familiar with Campag components as usually I just use Shimano. I have a bought a bicycle which was built circa 1987 and uses the above component. Sadly the axle has snapped in half. Do I have to find a vintage Campag replacement or can I use a modern equivalent in...

Thank you both of you for your replies. I must admit I have now chosen a pastel blue from the ral chart. Because it is one colour and cheaper than having two sprayed and secondly pastels were all the rage in north London at the end of the eighties and lastly I have seen a well know pro rider...

Hello I know in Italian Brev means copyright...I think...maybe I don't know. I have a bicycle stem with Brev.S Italy stamped on the very front of the stem which seems an odd place to put it if it's not the make as it's very visible? Has any one any info on this make? Sorry no pics but there...

Thank you for the useful info!

Thank you so I need to buy one of those long shaft type Allen tools and the not the short L shaped ones. My vision is a bit dodgy so I could not see the head of the bolt as well as I would like. Thanks again.

Hello I have always used SR Stems, etc and the bolt that holds them to the headset/headset tube is easily accessible at the top and an Allen key can be used to remove it. Now I have a 3ttt stem which has a cap and when you remove the cap you can see the head of a bolt? How do I untighten this...

Hello Thank you to Nicktait1 and all the other comments. I am stripping the frame and it needs more than t cutting sadly. It was new in circa 1987 and I'm pondering over a single colour respray. But what colour for an 80s bicycle? Frontera did some really stand out paint jobs. I think...
