Hello I'm looking for something simple and not too expensive to replace the ofmega 36 48 two ring chains on my Apollo build. I don't mind a 3 ring set up. Something close to the ratio I have now is fine so I'm open to ideas. Thanks 👍

Apologies I think this post is in the wrong page.

Brilliant, yes, I'll have a look at the sugino or Shimano. Sounds good. To be honest 3 rings dong bother me really - I only really use the middle ring but I like a front and rear derailleur in case the hills do appear out of nowhere. Great I'll check out them cranks. Thanks for the advice.

Hello. I was selling this but after little interest I've decided to crack on and start building it into as much of a nice ride as I can. The thing that is doing my head in is the ofmega 46t 38t chain set. I can't find a retro replacement thats not quite expensive. Is there a ratio I can get onto...

Hi, nice retro Halfords MTB from Apollo. It's got new tyres on upgraded Shimano brakes and Sun tour shifters. New sweep back handle bar. New brake and gear wires and some cable housing in yellow by jagwire. Oxford front light. A nice touring town and trail MTB from the early 90s I'd need it...

Think it's worth a trip out in the snow tomorrow??

It was definitely a Sakae XCE. I couldn't get over with the snow today but to be honest I might give it a miss.

It's a Moonrun but I'm gonna give it a go. Large frame and built like a truck.

Hello 👋- I'm just trying to identify what models of Raleigh used the Sakae XCE fixtures and fittings ? What era and were the Raleigh's any good. Thanks Chris

Hello 👋- I'm just on the lookout for a large frame for those long legged MTB enthusiastic folk out there. Something for the winter. Doesn't have to be collectible or flashy but just something I can get a bit experience on building up over the winter and riding when ready. I love the kinds of...

Ahhh great stuff thanks - I'll take a look at this.

Bought a measuring guage so now sorted. 👍🎇

While I am here - I would like to replace the headset for something a bit more robust. If anyone can offer any ideas on what would be a good replacement and an upgrade that would be great... its overwhelming!! _ just a nice upgrade would be great - nothing silly! thanks...

Hello, another novice question but does anyone know what size quill stem head set would fit this bike... I'm looking at a Nitto on eBay but they want £45 is that extortionate or correct?

Thanks all - I'll follow up on these leads. Great stuff. Will report back. Not sure of B/B - will check. Thanks for your help

Thanks - yeah, I am now looking at other brands etc as I can't seem to find anything alternative with that ratio. Will other ratios still work with my suntour shifters/shimano sis set up??

I have a pretty basic Apollo Legend that I acquired when the gentleman who was riding it could no longer do so. I'm keeping this thing going and its a joy to ride to be honest. It has an Ofmega 46T 38T crank on it and wondered if there were any nicer/vintage/retro looking ones made with the same...

Hello - I'm busy doing a 1970s Raleigh up but need a left hand crack (pin style) with a pedal attached. I'd take the full Raleigh crank on the other side but already have that side. Best minimum woukd be left hand 165,mm and pedal. Thanks 🙏

Apologies no they aren't - I should have updated the thread - they have sold - thanks
