    Removing cassette - advice needed

    Thanks guys. Job done. Old chain wrapped around the cassette at one end, and the head of a sledgehammer that I was stood on at the other. Things I learnt today #3: you want to take the tyre/tube off first. Any more brains and I'd be dangerous...

    Removing cassette - advice needed

    Hi all, Have never needed to remove a cassette before and am so far failing miserably. I'd hoped - optimistically - that it might be possible to fudge something together holding the damned thing in place with an old chain wrapped around the cassette and a sledgehammer handle, and then go at...

    WTD: Cheap disc wheel set

    Many thanks to everyone for taking the time and trouble to post and PM. Brilliant. Going to go with those. Can you advise whether it's a 7/8 speed or 9 speed hub? Also, are you ok with me paying by Paypal if I cover the fees? Next thing: Anyone got one cheap rotor & bolts? :-) (Have...

    WTD: Cheap rear disc wheel

    Well, that's the thing. I'd assumed that any cassette fitted on to any hub, but I thought I'd seen a thread recently - I'm sure Cyfa contributed - that suggested that not only was this not the case, but that even particular years of components from the same manufacturer would not necessarily...

    WTD: Cheap rear disc wheel

    That's it, really. At the moment, I'm commuting through Bristol traffic on a bike that doesn't have a rear brake. I like excitement as much as the next man, but this is getting silly... Dumb question: can I just whop my existing 8 speed rear cassette on to any old 'standard' rear hub? If...

    Mashed ISIS BB removal

    Thanks guys. I took it to the LBS on Monday, and on Tues afternoon they phoned me to tell me it was out. When I got there, they hadn't realised the non-drive side was still in, as trhe shell was completely bashed off. Hmm. Had to wait while they removed that, but that came out too, and...

    Mashed ISIS BB removal

    Right, what do you make of this then..? In the end, today, I finally tired of the slop in the rear triangle on my Marin East Peak. The point at which I finally decided how I felt about cheap full suspension vs Kona hardtails was just after my head hit a tree hard enough to think, "man, I'm...

    And moon on a stick please... Anyone able to help? I appreciate my customary micro-budget may hold me back here. Will consider other brands, but riding anything other than a Kona is starting to feel unfaithful... Ta all

    Rockshox J2's, Kore stem, old wheel

    Mike, more pics are here. If there's something more specific you want, do let me know, and I'll photograph that for you. I've hand-compressed the forks a few times to try and show the oil. I can't see it coming from one place, such as would indicate a tear in the seal or a dent in the...

    Rockshox J2's, Kore stem, old wheel

    Hi all, A few bits and pieces: Kore stem Black, mechanically fine, cosmetically well-loved. £8 posted. Rockshox J2's Cosmetically not bad - a few marks, as expected. They work fine, though seem to leak a little damping oil on to the stanchion. Stanchions are in good nick, so...
