Re: My old 97 Zaskar with V brakes stops as well as my moderns with hydro discs with one proviso-it has to be perfectly dry,no mud and the rims have to be perfectly true.V brakes are as good as discs in the right conditions.Only problem,with our climate,those conditions only arise a few days of...

Anyone have a black 96/97 era 27mm Syncros or Controltech seatpost?

Re: Had a set of Dakar hubs on M7CD rims,very heavy but one of the best wheelsets Ive used.Bombproof.

Re: Went to a guy doing a Mavic build,the entire mech was rebuildable,everything was replaceable,it would either unscrew or was held on with micro circlips,fabulous.

Re: Ha!I karma`d one of those things to someone on here 2 years ago.It was just missing the inner cage.I had it on my downhill bike for 2 years back in the mid 90s.Worked beautifully with XT thumbies.

Re: I had a set when they first came out and at the time were a good way to get long travel on the cheap.Very simple internals as its an elastomer fork.Check out the state of the elastomer stack,clean it up and stick in some new lube.They are rough and ready,dont expect Z1 performance but I...

Re: I got one of these from CRC and it didnt break the bank.I found it very handy over Christmas and got into the habit of doing an hour a day on it.Stick on the headphones and away you go.I use a cheap rear wheel and cassette on it. https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/eli ... prod198086

Re: I remember they had SS7s/987s with XT thumbs cos that was what I stuck on after I read it.I forget the rest of it.

Re: I`d recommend getting a cheap narrow wide chainring an 11 speed Deore shifter and rear mech and go 1x11.

Re: You can run up to 11speed.

Re: Yes,me too last week,a small fortune on a set of tired brakes.Stoopid sexy ebay.

Probably saved a few lives by doing that,those crazy big Kwak strokers were widowmakers :lol:

Re: I first saw his work in Classic Bike in the late 90s,a V8 Kawasaki.What I`d give for a tour of his little workshop.A gifted engineer that ploughs his own furrow.
