1 1/8 quill stem for 1992 marin Eldridge grade wanted . It’s the bright fiery red colour I’m after ideally Cheers

Which model are these?

Do you need to measure how much oil you put back in?

Haha British oppression steel feels right for the current climate. I’ve ordered some oil so I’ll give that a go , cheers

@FluffyChicken Any hints for servicing a 2001 marzocchi bomber? Think it’s been sitting in a garage since 2001 and feels quite stiff

Finally finished this bike and took it out for its maiden voyage today. Started out as an Eldridge grade ended up an orange clockwork 😆 . Thanks for all your help , I learnt a lot, hopefully the next one won’t be such a struggle! Pretty happy with the build only thing I think I’m going to change...

http://kstoerz.com/freespoke/hub/388 I think this is what it is supposed to be. At this point I’m just going to try and get my money back as it was sold as an 8/9/10 speed and what I got was a 6/7 speed with a spindle that has been lopped off. Not worth me trying to completely rebuild it haha...

Yeah you may be right. Having measured it though I now think It’s actually just a 7 speed cassette body despite being sold as 8,9,10.

I’m afraid i need some advice again. Is there any reason why a 10 speed cassette won’t fit on a free hub body that it is (in theory) supposed to fit on. I read that you can put a 10 speed cassette on a body that previously had 8 or 9 speed because they are all the same size. Yet when i tried to...

Or is it simple enough to fit a new spindle that is the correct length?

No need to apologise , I want to learn! I think this spindle may be too short for me to use on this bike, it is literally only just able to sit in the drop outs , maybe .5mm each side . And when I tried to do up the QR the wheel span very wonky , I think due to the spring on the qr being...

Turns out the axle of the rear wheel I bought from eBay is too short. A problem I wasn’t expecting 😆 . Is there a standard length for wheel axles? The spacing of the bike is 135mm and the axle thread seems to be about 139.5mm…so it’s barely hanging on . I tried a few other 26inch (7speed...

Hello, I’m looking for a Rockshox SID , something with 80mm travel, 1 1/8, for v brakes preferably blue or black (but potentially open to all colours) to go on a 98 orange clockwork.If anyone has anything suitable they’re looking to part with, let me know. cheers!

It’s a 1998 orange clockwork in slime green

Had a change of plan and I’m now going to reassemble the marin more as it was and use this frame instead . The paint is in better nick than the Eldridge grade and being slightly newer I thought it might be more suitable

I’ve got a wheel with a cassette body that takes 8-9-10 speed cassettes . I hope.

Oh good, I didn’t want to have to put anything else back on eBay 😅. I got a fancy schwalbe nobby nic evo tyre and a less fancy non folding but slightly wider nobby nic for the front. Also some 770mm bars and nice grips and (hopefully, if I win it on eBay) a shimano zee 1x10 drivetrain including...

My next stupid question: can you put folding tyres onto an old rim? I’m reading about hooked rims and wondering if the tyre I just bought isn’t going to go on (or maybe stay on?) the Mavic x517 I have…
