    Sold IRC Mythos tyre

    This came in the box with a bike I recently purchased. Still loads of tread left, and the side walls seem OK too. £20 open for offers. Based in Wareham, Dorset if you want to collect. Otherwise an extra £3 for postage. Cheers

    9 speed cassette to replace 12....?

    What a lot of people dont realise, or are unaware of, is if you change the chain when that starts wearing out, all the other parts will run much longer. Its onyl when the chain exceeds its recommended stretch length, that it starts wearing the other components in ways whcih when a new chain is...

    Santa Cruz Chameleon (1998+)

    Another low stack stem, and more periodically correct is the X-lite DH stem. Only has a stack height of 30mm, and perfect for short steerers! comes pretty short too at 50mm, but there are longer ones around.

    Marzocchi Z1 QR20 refurb

    A little trick i learnt recently to take out siezed bolts...do the usual soak with oil, and then use a drill! tighten the chuck around the bolt real good and tight, and then reverse the direction to undo the bolt and voila! you can even try the hammer action it equiped and works a treat. Thats...

    Thoughts on On-One Whippet 29er

    Thanks for that, great info. I am going ahead with it, so will report back. Its the first time i will be running sram brakes and groupset for a long time (X9 groupo and elixers were the last i had!), so will have to see how this goes. Im normally a Shimano guy and much prefer the brakes, but can...

    The “Full Wood” is done

    Looks very cool. I am going down a similar route with my F900 'dale, nice component choice. I am after a lefty for mine too, but i must ask whats up with the long steerer on the Lefty?

    Thoughts on On-One Whippet 29er

    I have been a big fan of On-One bikes in the past, owning a 26" Inbred, 29" Inbred (which i regret selling massively) and a 45650b which was great fun but on the small side. All bikes handled very well, but their latest lineup of bikes havent thrilled me with their slack angles etc and have been...

    Mountain Cycle San Andreas Rebuild

    To aid with the riding feel, a shorter stem may help? that is a long stem for this type of bike, but again thats my opinion. I would go for between 50 and 70mm.

    Wanted Its a long shot...Chameleon Disk Conversion

    Anyone got a disc brake adaptor for the first/second Gen SantaCruz Chameleon? I fancy making it discs, but finding a converter is troublesome!

    What a bike and a legend of a fork

    24" was only really used for "free-ride" or "huck" bikes, such as this bike, or the karpiel apocalypse which was a weapon of a bike and used two shocks! Josh Bender used to do massive 50 foot drops. the other 12" forks used were the Risse Bigfoot, which were USD forks, and equally as cool. the...

    Spokes for Retro Wheels. SORTED.

    ooo i will have to save that one, very similar pricing to the one i use. I too dont like black bikes, but i prefefr black wheels. I think it also hides how dirty the wheels can get!

    Stripping in the garden, but no cans

    If you find a decent bead blaster, they charge per minute, and quoted me around 10-12 minutes to strip my hardtail frame. cheaper than getting some paint stripper!
