    Welding experts …. Is this salvageable

    Has it been heat treated since the repair ? If it hasn't I wouldn't touch it with a 10ft barge pole, ally is funny stuff to weld and if it was originally designed to be heat treated after the welding process then really needs to be done again. Back in the 80's Simon LeBon's yacht Drum capsized...

    For Sale Hope brakes

    Hi Would it be possible to set these brakes up as 185mm front using the post mount adaptor, 160mm rear I.S. bolted directly ? I'm wanting to replace the brakes on my wife's Cannondale, it's currently got horribly corroded Avid Elixer brakes. I run Hope brakes on both my Lefty Cannondale and my...

    Wanted Cracked hope hub(s)

    I've an old Ti-glide rear that cracked around the spoke holes. I was keeping it as I've had it since around '98 when I converted my Zaskar to rear disk and it's got a lot of happy memories tied up in it. What are you planning on doing to any hubs you get ?

    Wanted 32h Ti Glide rear hub

    Hi I'm after a Ti Glide rear hub that takes the spline type 5 bolt disc carrier. Preferbly in blue, silver or black, but at this time I'll happily take any colour in order to get my old bike back in one piece. The only part that I actually need to be in good condition is the hub body as I'll be...

    Are all Hope Ti Glide hub bodies the same ?

    Well my new cassette tool arrived today as I can't find my original, anyway I've finally been able to strip the hub and take a bunch of measurements to compare with other Ti Glide hub bodies. I'm hoping the important dimension which is the space between the pair of 6001 bearings that support...

    94 Aqua Turquoise Zaskar build (my unicorn)

    Please switch the front wheel around, the position of the valve to the Spin graphic is offending my OCD. I've had my Zaskar since new in '97 and my mate had a set of those wheels on his Pro-flex but I never thought to borrow them for the GT, shame as they look fantastic.

    Sold Cannondale F800 £350

    Picked the bike up this morning and I'm very pleased with it. Colin is a top bloke, very helpful and he has a seriously impressive collection of bikes, my missus would kill me if I had that many :)

    Sold Cannondale F800 £350

    Cheers for that, the same measurement on my current bike is 73.5 so only 3.5cm needed, if I can find a slightly longer seat post it'd be a goer. Are you around this Thursday ? as I could pop over and have a look at it and buy it if I'm happy with it, which looking at your pictures I probably...

    Are all Hope Ti Glide hub bodies the same ?

    Hi Sadly my Hope Ti Glide hub that I've had on my Zaskar LE since 1997 has failed, several of the spokes have ripped the flange off the hub body. Now my real problem is it's the one with the bolt on C2 disc brake conversion, that has a shorter axle to allow room for the disc caliper to bolt...

    Sold Cannondale F800 £350

    You say it's a medium 5'7" to 5'10", I'm trying to workout if I'd fit as I ride a 18" Zaskar LE I built from new in 1997 which I believe is also considered a medium. However I'm actually 6'3" and should in theory be riding at least a Large if not a XL, I've always preferred a smaller bike than...
