Is the lever actually moving the front derailleur at all? Lever towards you should move the derailleur toward the bigger ring. If it's indexed, the left lever should click into two positions. right hand lever should click into 5 or 6 positions. Gear changes won't be any less rumbly than a...

Thanks matey! Frame came from @ishaw on here around 2017-ish and it’s been through a few guises including drop bars.

I went out on my mtb this morning instead of my normal bike. One of my normal 20 mile road routes but via a mate’s house for breakfast. Was interested to see this mtb vs roady waving thing that has been mentioned. First bike I saw at 7am was a roady waving at me and I almost missed him! Most did...

I want to say it’s a Raleigh. It looks very Raleigh-ish but there’s no Raleigh script on the tops of the seat stay, so I don’t think it is. I think Dawes used that style seat stay top with like a leaf shape painted on. Over bottom bracket cable guides is a 1970s thing on English bikes but...

What do you have at the moment? Before committing to a whole new bike, can you modify your existing bike (eg taller/longer/shorter stem, flat bars, riser bars) so you can get a feel for what you want and need?

Wow, that’s quite something! Hardly ever see Nags this early. Love it!

There were some shims to set the tightness of the jockey wheel bearing, which I can use to nip it up when I put it back together. Then the lower race seemed to be what held everything together. With that removed I got my first view of the pivot: Yeah. Not much meat left on there and I don't...

Had a chance to take the derailleur apart to assess the damage (wear) and look at what I can do to save it. It's taken a bit of head scratching to work out how it comes apart, but it felt like access to the pivot point was going to happen by taking the toothed jockey wheel apart. Some of these...

Never heard the term cager either. Still not entirely sure I’ve made the link either.

I really think it’s time you just stick some callipers on the tubes and compare it to a tubeset. 3 pages of discussion now, some of it quite interesting, but we still don’t know anything for sure.

Yes, usually 25mm

My error here: I thought Max had round tubes, when in fact they are ovalised.

I was struggling to find a headset where the seller could confirm it was fully JIS-sized, so I ordered one from Japan and then promptly forgot which one I’d ordered. Had a nice surprise when this turned up! I used my Mk2 headset press to squeeze the cups in: I need to sort out a front...

My daily is looking a bit crusty again and is in need of another repaint. Coupled with a promotion at work I thought I might buy myself something frivolous to swap everything over to* while it's away and scratch an NJS itch at the same time! Probably not going to be an NJS build but it might get...

Thanks for the offer. Hold onto it for another time because I should have a replacement being sent in the post 👍

110bcd

Pics attached. 170mm length, 110bcd, currently wearing a 42 tooth narrow-wide chainring. Bottom bracket standard is slightly out of my knowledge base. They have GXP all over them and the axle measures 24mm on drive side and 22mm where it narrows on the spline which I think is where the...

What level SRAM are you looking for? I think I’ve got some 10-speed Rival cranks at work.

Peek or Autosol metal Polish usually lifts it off.

Columbus Air has an ovalised seat tube and a specific seatpost that goes with it. I can’t tell fully from the pics, but yours looks like it’s round. The fork crown looks more like it might be Columbus Max and the deep rear stays also look very Max. If you measure the ODs of the tubes you should...
