Hi, I'm presently overhauling a Rock Shox Judy SL fork. Unfortunately, the previous owner let the brake lines rub along the fork crown. The crown being made of aluminum alloy, I was wondering if it's possible to braze of fill in the rubbing marks with something and then refinish the fork crown...

Hi, I bought a pair of these thumbshifters to a fellow RBer years ago. But it was only today that I started cleaning and servicing them. The left shifter was really hard to shift so I disassembled it to have a look at what could be going wrong. Inside, there were grease residues but... no...

Hi, Any Merliner out there with Shimano XTR M900 setup? The CS-M900 crankset is normally paired with a BB-UN90/91 bottom bracket with 107mm spindle length (for a 68mm shell) to get the recommended 47.5mm chainline. But because of the 34.9mm oversize seat tube on the Merlin Mountain, will the...

Hi, I was dumb enough to lose the two O-rings on the upper and lower cups of a NIB 1" Suntour XC Pro headset. I bought it years ago, so don't even remember what happened to them. I think I can find replacement O-rings, but I need to know the inner and outer diameters. Can anybody help? Thanks!

Hi, I'm after the titled seatpost. Silver color, please. Thanks!

Hi, I'm after 32 (or more, splitted 16/16) plain 14g 264-265mm and 266-267mm spokes like the pictured ones. From the Spoke Head Identification Chart, they could be Sapim Indians. There are some for sale on eBay, but the spoke heads show a stylized S rather than the I on the pictured ones. So...

Hi, I see many threadless Answer ATAC stems for sale. And they don't come with a top cap, by contrast with the quill version. Even in the Answer catalogues here in the archive section, they're pictured without a top cap. Were they sold without one BITD? Thanks.

Hi, Any ideas of the stem and seatpost fitted on the Merlin Mountain at p. 14 of the 1994 catalogue (really 1992, in fact) in the Archive section? The stem resembles a Salsa Moto but without a roller. The seatpost could be Kingsbery/American Classic. Thanks for playing ;)

Hi, For my Logic bottom bracket, I'm after the spindle in title. Basic Ritchey cro-mo spindle is fine. Now if you have a complete Logic Pro BB with 124.5mm... For the interested people, I can trade my 120mm cro-mo spindle for a 124.5mm. It looks exactly as this one and has been installed once...

Hi, The Shimano SLR words on e.g. this ad or this one are not as crisp as on some Shimano SLR housing that I have here handy for more than three decades. Plus, there are simply painted whereas on the old ones that I have, the Shimano SLR words are etched. Are these nevertheless genuine? Or is...

Hi, Working on a Peugeot Grisley restoration right now, I fail at identify the manufacturer of the spokes: I seem to decipher a capital B. There's an "unknown" entry in the Spoke Head Identification Chart, but I don't know if it's the same B. The wheels on my Peugeot Team Line 2000 have the...

Hi, Just wondering, as I couldn't find a NIB Ritchey Logic bottom bracket, only NOS, opened box. Did they come with a dust seal, as Shimano BB-M730 bottom bracket for example (part #9 in https://si.shimano.com/fr/pdfs/ev/BB-M730-1090/EV-BB-M730-1090.pdf)? If no, is it recommended to install...

Hi, I'm working on a rear Pulstar hub. USA-made, not Taiwan. The drive-side bearing is shot. But to extract this (sealed) bearing, I had to remove the freehub, including the star part (don't know the name) that screws into the hub shell. This star part has 4 pins, 2.2mm diameter each with 26mm...

Hi, Was wondering if this is possible? The hub shell looks similar to me. Is it just replacing the axle and outer caps? BTW, any ideas when these hubs entered the market? I can find the "classic" RC-50 composite hub in the '93 Pace hardware catalogue, but I've no idea for the XC and MT Lock...

Hi, How do you tell the difference between a '93 Pace RC-35 AB and a '94 RC-35 XCS? The wiki (https://www.retrobike.co.uk/wiki/Pace) only states: Similar to the AB fork but featuring a simpler brace. How simpler? There's no picture of such XCS fork on Goatsurfer (only Scapin version, so don't...

Hi, I'm after the rim in title. All I can find is 36 holes. Or in 20" or 700c size. Or the silver version. I need the dark one in 32 holes, 26". Thanks!

Hi, Which bottom bracket this spindle was made for? The only occurrences I can find are in the 1993 Merlin catalogue (well, 1994 here in the Archive section; the 1993 and 1994 catalogues are swapped). In 1993, the Merlin Mountain frame no more has Grease Guard ports drilled in the bottom...

Hi, Could someone with the still original cable housings on his/her Grisley MTB (or someone having replaced them, cut to the original lengths) tell me what the cable housing lengths are, please? As it's internal routing, I'm reluctant to play the try/error game :LOL:. Ideally, someone with a...

Hi, Is someone able to identify the MAVIC-equipped Clark Kent in the bottom right photo of the magazine scan I posted a month ago [1]? It was showcased at Interbike 91 in Anaheim, USA. Thanks! [1]...

Hi, I'm after a complete set of Miche QR skewers like the ones on my Peugeot Team Line 2000: https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/93-peugeot-team-line-2000-autopsy.405981/post-2987635 Anybody? Thanks!
