Hi All, I am sad to say this, but I am giving up cycling, thus, everything that remains in my stock/collection, whatever is for sale. I have : a four foot high pile of mags: MBUK from 96 - 2005 about 80% complete, and MBI from 97 to 2000. A box of various bits: brakes ( several sets of...

Hi all, some of my friends on here are aware that I am not quite well in the head ( as is anyone who reads some of the ballcocks that I come up with I suppose ) so I am already in the realms of the lunatic on a daily basis, but the last few weeks have done me in: Posie, my wonderful little cat...

Hi All, I have a 19 inch 88 Cinder Cone frame which I think I shan't be using ( I have decided to concentrate on teh Fire Mountain and a couple of other projects. It was Karma'd to me so it's getting Karma'd on. Happy to courier at cost. It has a slightly bent mech hanger whish is how it came...

Hello all, I gotta green Orange. 's lovely. Another bargain, this time from the mighty Hamster of this parish. It's a 16 in the best colour ever - Slime Green. Came with a BB, XT front mech, Hope seat clamp and QR, Fox shock and Rockshox Toras. With my Alpine trail I wanted a freeride bike...

Hi Folks, I really should not be this baffled by fairly simple stuff. I just replaced the pads on my Magura Julies and they are sticking badly. I have made sure that after putting them in I did as the manual says and pressed them into place to make sure the pistons are pushed back, then pumped...

Looking for some 7 speed Suntour thumbies: anyone got anything?

Hi all, a couple of days ago I filled and bled my Magura Julies, and they worked very nicely thank you. The bike has not moved much in the intervening time - unridden, but when I went back and checked the brakes, the level had dropped in the rear resevoir and leakage is visible under the...

Ello all. Is there one?

Hi All, I suppose this should be in the post 97 section, but more people look at this section and I could do with a very informed opinion: I have a new to me full susser that I really want to put a drop post into but it has a seatpost size of 27.00mm. The only sizes I can find are 27.2 or...

Ello all. So, new ( to me but old ) bike with Magura Julies - 2003 and the levers are squeezable all the way to the bar with no resistance: I am assuming they need fluid. Is it vital to use Magura stuff or will the DOT stuff do? ( The Magura stuff seems to come from Far AWAY. ) Aslo, anything I...

Anyone got one of those little yellow doobries for helping bleed Magura Disks? All the ones on Ebay are in the states and will therefore take ages to arrive.

Look, don't judge me but BITD I used to organise Doctor Who Conventions. Now then, having been to the excellent Iconoclassic, I got thinking that Iconoclassic was brilliant, and yet I wanted to see people riding these lovely bikes around in a field ( and ride my own) have some dealer's tables...

As is my preference, it's made by Marin. It's a 2003 ( according to MBUK) Alpine Trail. It was dirt cheap, partly because you get a lot of dirt free with it. The rust comes complimentary too. It's filthy, rusty and probably a bit knackered, but it was cheap ( I like cheap ) and it's one of the...

'Ello, I've been thinking again. I Know: I'll stop later, but meanwhile... Bearing in mind how different a lot of bikes look in their small sizes as opposed to the large ones, are we naturally attracted to the bikes that are the right size for us? In other words if you are a mutant seven footer...

Evening all :-) Time for the next projects which are both Konas: I have a wonderful Cinder Cone from Ant Stark - a very generous Karma donation, and a ( very inexpensive - practically free ) Fire Mountain from another RBer. Both are in Splatter finish, the CC a 19 and the FM an 18 - both fit me...

Hell's Donkeys... I've just been poking at a mate's bike - a Scott Speedster 60. Its only about a year old, it cost 450 sovs, and it's got flinkin' Tourney on it. What is this MADNESS? Do Shimano now make something worse than Tourney or something? I mean it all looks ok ( Aside from the wheel...

Morning all: I am looking for some cheap and cheerful bits ( and one probably impossible thing, but hey ) I need a 1" headset, 115 - 118 BB ( 68 mm shell size ) a 26mm seatpost and, er... a Blackburn or similar rear carrier in flouro green or yellow. None of this stuff needs to be sparkly, and...

Ello, I fancy trying these here flat pedal thingies. I use DX Spds at the moment, ( the ones with the cages ) and am used to being attached to the bike. Thing is I am doing a lot more trail centre stuff and most of my riding mates swear by the unclipped method of getting about. Aside from V8...

Ello all, anyone know what seatpost diameter a 2003 Alpine Trail takes? ( The one with Magura Julies and Bombers, blue paint ) Cheers :-)
