Leave the hammer in the toolbox. When I've had the need to do this I've used an adjustable spanner and a couple of thin bits of metal (steel rulers are good for this). Metal bits either side of the rim (in all honesty, outside on braking surface is the key one to avoid damaging the surface)...

Pm coming.

£300 for a crown race remover? Mine was at least 95% cheaper than that. Not actually used it yet but it's there for when I will inevitably need it.

As most have said, races are fairly specific to the headset. Some work with each other, some don't. Bearing angles, sealing, height, diameter etc all play a part. Like someone else mentioned, there are some headset races that fit a king. Iirc, I found a split allot one I had spare fitted like a...

Just to clarify, this is for a modernish 27.5er. I've got various bits I can throw at it, just looking for what might be considered a good combination of front and rear tooth counts for leisurely riding for a kid who just wants to get out and ride occasionally. I have deore and zee 10x, slx...

You guys are killing my vision, but appreciate the wisdom. It might not have been the best idea, but once it had entered into my mind, it's hard to shake. Bits when I had my original, new rts-2 it put two guys noses out of joint. They were the sons of a millionaire, I was the son of someone who...

I know it's not, hence the questions.

But Ti is Fly 🤣

Chatting to someone about their turquoise zaskar build had me thinking. My favourite colour is turquoise. I have an rts I was thinking of refinishing. Could I? Dare I? What sort of money would I be looking at for the front triangle and who could do it? I'd probably do the rear triangle in...

Blimey, they turned out nice and shiny. I used a citrus degreaser I bought ages ago for similar jobs and it was fairly hard work but similar results. I don't have anything that dirty anymore but hopefully remember this stuff when an inevitable time comes again.

Before you choose a stem, ask yourself a question. Have I got dental insurance? Do I want facial reconstruction surgery? If yes to both, by all means but one of the stems mentioned, even a ringle. The former are an unknown, were they made well? The latter are prone to cracking. If you want a...

I've got an n950 hub for sale, good for freehub and other bits as is very tidy. I thought the same as above.

Pics. 560mm long uncut, well slightly longer, 565mm.

Is it a disc hub? Maybe they made some hubs for early magura discs or something? Nice hubs, I have a nice wheelset sporting some blue ones awaiting a build. Betd are still going and selling goldtec stuff. Also own middleburn now.

That is a bummer. You can see it in one of the auction pics. Description says no dents or cracks so you should be fine for a refund. Hope it goes smoothly.

Thanks, I'll stick to hg ;)

Thanks. Do you know if 10sp cues cassette works on a standard freehub? I read that a different chain, 11sp might be needed too?

I'm building a bike for a mates son. Going 1x10 as I have some stuff already but what would be a good option for cassette ratio wise and also front ring? Looking for thought on coffee teeth numbers around a 32 ISH front ring. Thsnks

Did you get sorted. Saw this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/126709426873?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=BqqwRhl-SoS&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=GeEG02BlRb2&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Look a bit like critical racing, but not. Thought looks, but no, manitou, nope. Not ringle or x-lite either. I've drawn a blank.
