    6 speed freewheel hacks?

    True, but I’m devoted to the Dura Ace/Mavic set I’m running, so am just musing on possibilities. Will man up on 26x28 for now. Just for info, in case anyone else falls down this rabbit hole, shimano did do a traditional (no carrier) freewheel with hyperglide cogs, Tourney MF-HG22, but you’d be...

    6 speed freewheel hacks?

    Yes, the changeability of Suntour cogs (and Malliard) is what I’m after but with those lovely hyperglide ramps. Mega range is an option but the 6 speed ones seem to jump from 23 to 34. Is there a way to crack these? ⬇️ Looks like the small one might screw and then the first few slot on with the...

    6 speed freewheel hacks?

    So I’ve got a Shimano MZ hyperglide 6 speed freewheel on my, ahem, gravel bike: these max out at 28t and don’t appear to be crackable. They’re great though. And while I don’t need 40t at the rear because I’ve got a 26t ring up front, 30 would t hurt and I’m curious to know if it’s possible to...

    Shimano Parallax - what does it mean?

    The axle has a fatter 10mm middle section and standard 9mm ends, so ….. if an observer were to look at the axle from the side ….…. Nah, I bet the marketing meeting where they came up with the name was in 1993, and one of them was hooked on Wayne’s World released the previous year:

    1986 MBK Hi Tech

    Looking at the OP’s original thread, this appears to be the bike in question: It looks a lot like a 1987 one I used to have: If so, it’s a superbly built, inexternally brazed classic, and in a decent size ….. a frame with some value - I’d certainly be interested in buying it. @Ballyc...

    MAVIC 231 CD vs OXYGEN 6 CD

    Yes, much as I love an M6, they are OG and too stout for your svelte ‘93 Look-er

    How hard (moreso costly) is it to put a modern drivetrain on a vintage mtb?

    To answer the original question simply: Really easy and about £150:

    Raleigh Randonneur 708 1997

    I’d say it’s well worth keeping an eye open for a 708 Randonneur - prices have gone up a bit but look out for badly advertised ones on the Bay and Gumtree: the oversize seatstay caps are a give away, and if you see those on an advert for “Raleigh Bike” you’re in. They’re also sometimes billed as...

    Raleigh Randonneur 708 1997

    Nice brace of Rapides there. My 708 is now sporting Rando bars rather than the dirt drops which were a bit narrow. (I also bottled it on doing harlequin bar wrap this time, but dig how the orange matches the saddle when shellacked
