Re: Re: Yep, I used a 122mm, so something in that vicinity would do it. All other answers I dug up to the same question all said 122 or above. I wouldn't bother with anything less unless you had say a 117mm to hand to try out. Grumps

It means they were hand finished, in other words they were laced up by the big lacing machine that takes the tedium out of lacing (and does it way fast) but the truing, tensioning and stress relieving was done by hand. Does it create a more stronger, durable wheel? Yes, it can, depending on...

Re: Colnago Saddle question (road saddle on an mtb?) 10 people could give you 10 different answers to that question, and it still won't give your butt a guarantee. Any saddle feels okay for 30 minutes. Take it out all day and you may find yourself having panic attacks at the mere mention of...

I've stressed about stock movements. I've put up with the industry brochures. II've dealt with arrogant know-all customers. I've driven a 2004 911 Carrera GT4 which was amazing. I've driven a Morgan Plus 8 which had a worked 5 litre V8 from a Mustang that would have made the Mustang get up...

Cool, just checking it wasn't the frame. Pull them apart, there are special tools for that. If they have been run dry chances are the bearings are stuffed anyway. Buy something new. Start with a good clean of the chain and gears, as well as the derailleurs. Then new cables and outers. No...

Re: Re: That's what I use, and a I have plenty left over from last time. I can send you a jar? Alternatively... I have used spray paint, just a little squirt into the grip, but get the grip on quick as it sets up fast. Grumps

Have you tried putting the wheel in back to front as I suggested? As a first step, you need to determine whether the fault is with the wheel or the frame. Having said that, better wheels would be, well, better. Shimano hubs are generally very good and you can pick up some decent wheels on...

Put the wheel in the other way around (i.e. cassette to the non drive side). If the wheel is across to the right, then it's the wheel. If it's still off centred to the left, then it's the frame that's out of alignment. Or drop in a different wheel. If it's the frame that's out, you can cold...

Re: Check this out awesome video ...and if you watch it all the way through, you get some Pamela Anderson footage as well. Golden era Tomac and Herbold, golden era Pamela. Great vid! Grumps

That's a shame. Forks that recent with canti studs are like rocking horse sh*t. And it would have been a great match, both functionally and aesthetically. Grumps

In 1996 I wanted an LTS. Either a GT LTS or a Foes LTS, so long as it was an LTS. I ended up with the GT in 1997 and eventually scored the Foes in 2013. Grumps

Catalogue shows the Marzocchi XCR. Bikepedia also lists the XCR. Grumps

I've been a Retrobike viewer for some time actually, and there's so much coolness here that I've long been wanting to sign on. You've inspired me. So it's thanks to you! I'm repaying you with my presence. Over time you'll see that I'm actually awesome, and that it's a privilege to have me...

The seat tube doesn't ring a bell. I'm trying to think of quality MTBs that have a kick stand mount... <thinking> Nope, there isn't any. Grumps
