    Xtr m95x crank questions

    The TA one is specific for the cranks, after market. Middleburn did them too, as did Forge and Hershey racing to name a few. AC also did a crank using the same spider and v1 bottom bracket, Cannondale too. Maybe there are more?

    Xtr m95x crank questions

    I like m95x stuff, more the 9 speed but cranks were either m950 or m951 iirc with m950 or m952 bbs. Rings, especially for the integrated spider/outer ring versions aren't easy to come by these days. I'm fortunate to have a nos set for when needed, but I've also got a TA 104 BCD spider and...

    3DV Purple on a 95 bike?

    Yes, it's never really gone away, you can still buy hope and other purple parts today. My dbr has 3dv Paul's brakes, bolts and a headset spacer to add a bit of colour. It might also get a purple hole chain ring if I go 1x on it.

    F4 BLT stuck/rounded bolt removal

    If you go down the slot cutting route, my advice would be not to use a screwdriver, but instead something with a long flat edge. This way, you can fit it fully into the slot and more, avoiding the screwdriver chewing the slot up. You are also using leverage from the side rather than a twisting...

    Wanted hydraulic disc brakes

    I may be able to help, need to locate them but I think I have a set of 2 or avid/SRAM disc brakes. I've not had my hands on them for a while, but iirc they are elixir something or others with adjusters so not the basic versions, sxr? May even have carbon blades? I'd need to find them and check...

    To cage, not to cage, where to cage?!

    No cage. Bling bolts, copper greased so they don't seize.

    F4 BLT stuck/rounded bolt removal

    Meant to ask about the ti bolts. I've a set of these forks and some b3s. I've got sets of nos original bolts but ti I like.

    F4 BLT stuck/rounded bolt removal

    I'd try the above. You've nothing to lose. I've found that you can sometimes just get a torx head to fit in there and the bolt comes out. If that fails, but some easy outs. They require a small guide home to be drilled into the bolt. Then you screw in the easy out, it's a reverse tapered...

    Black or stainless spokes?

    I used to think black spokes all day long on black rims, but at some point my mind swayed and I think stainless look better against the black.

    1995 Diamondback Axis TT Pro

    Here's mine with black pace ti forks to give an idea what it may look like with black forks. I do actually have an original, not repro set of decals in my collection which I sourced when I got my frame, but opted for some custom ones in black/clear to let some ti through the graphics. If you...

    Wanted 24” wheel forks v break

    I don't think you'll be able to move the brace down, there's no meat on the legs to create fixing points. One thought I did have is that you might be able to do something with a set of forks like the manitou in the picture or m brace bombers with the top and bottom sections that are not 1...

    Wanted 24” wheel forks v break

    I've not got any forks I can help you with, but maybe some of the following options might help 1. Convert some pace forks. I had some rc31s converted to 24 inch by justbackdated. I was in talks with him about doing some rc39s at some point too but didn't go down that route in the end. 2...

    Sold Saracen kili Team frame and forks

    I sent some pics to Danson on here, he's the resident expert in frame repair and his opinion was that it would be a simple repair. Iirc he suggested a patch gusset but I forget whether he suggested a patch repair on the damage in addition or not. I think he said he'd form the stay to take a...

    Sold Saracen kili Team frame and forks

    It's still available if you want it. I was going to keep the forks but if it's going to be repaired and built up, best keeping them together.

    Unknown E stay frame

    I can't help, but have always had a project in mind for an e-stsy. Paint frame white, divide frame I half. Have one child paint one side, one the other. Lacquer and build. This one is the blank canvas I'd be looking to create.
