I did 3 forks yesterday, including two Z1s, which was my first go at it. It's not too hard, the main issues I've had are removing the brace as the bolts can be hard very tight, although it can be done with the brace in place. It can also be very messy. The best video to watch is from butter...

This weekend I fitted new brake hoses and serviced the fork. I suspected that the forks didn't have any oil in as the damping adjustment did nothing, and I was right. New seals and fresh 7.5wt oil and they're working well again. The front brake is a different caliper as it was in better...

I've been putting off a couple jobs as they are my least favourite to do, mainly because they create a lot of. Yesterday I was fitting new brake hoses and today I rebuilt 3 suspension forks. But I'm very satisfied with the results when it's finished which almost makes it worthwhile. I can...

These have been sat in the shed for a while but I finally got some new seals and bumpers courtesy of @Dr-Zocchi so can finally rebuild them. I did get a damaged set of forks so could replace the damper that had the damaged adjustment screw, also replaced the top caps as they were faded. All I...

Got a pair of new Panaracer XC Fire Pro folding tyres courtesy of @Tootyred as the Continentals were wearing thin and perishing on the sidewalls. These were an utter pig to fit. Felt like they were the an inch too small and were very hard to get on the rim. Then the inner tubes I had (26 x...

That's utterly gorgeous. I've liked his work since his lugged head tube jump bike in the early naughties.

So nice, top my the list for frames I'd like to own.

Thanks to @scant for the 24Seven Slack pedals and Schwalbe Table Top tyres. The pedals were missing a few pins and 1 was snapped level with the pedal, thankfully they weren't too difficult to remove and all replaced with A2 stainless pins. I always wanted a set of table tops as the tread...

I've just listed them on ebay as need to move stuff on to free up space. Take a look at item 276633875584

Nice heafty steel

For quite a while I have been trying to find pictures of Chris Jackson riding my bike so I could build it to a similar spec. Yesterday I found a Flikr account with some bmx and 4x action (now retro), and on there are some pictures of Chris riding a RaceLite24. Unfortunately it's not my frame...

That's turned out really nice and should be perfect on the pump tracks.

PM incoming re. Syncros stem

Head badge put on and decided to pick out the lettering on the dropout.

I'm interested in the tyres if they're still available, will send a PM.

I have some wheels I need to find new homes for. I'm based near MK/Northampton should you wish to collect. Mavic D521 Ceramic on XTR M950 rear hub. Missing a spoke, the hub feels rough so needs an overhaul and rim needs a clean. Should make a very nice wheel. £100 posted, £90 collected...

Almost completed assembly, you may notice that I had the cranks powder coated to match the frame. All I need to complete is adjust the chainline, fit the chain, true the wheels, put the badge on the headtube, change some rusty bolts and change the cable length for the brake. May also try find...
