Have you tried Tartybikes?

This any good? (not mine). https://forum.cyclinguk.org/viewtopic.php?t=164573

The bearings in the freehub body wear, usually it's the outboard bearing as it's where water gets in. It's not a difficult job - dismantle the hub, then the bearing (an industrial press fit) knocks out and you press another one in.

Nice build, really personal.

I have exactly that, it's an eczema rash, and itches awfully!!!! It always occurs in the winter, if I change to a drier climate is vanishes within 3 days. I have had it for the last 5+ years, face / eyelids / neck. I was mildly allergic to one of the chemo drugs (was on ABVD) which trashed my...

@gibbleking fantastic news! I had Hogkins 22 years ago and am clear now after 9 months of chemo. A close colleague also had it, similarly to you it ended up in a stem cell transplant. 6 years on and he is fine - the transplant took a lot out of him and he looked much older for the first year but...

Good advice - all the other SRAM chains have hardened pins and last longer. Above PC850 they look nicer but functionally no better.

Re-create a classic mid 80s setup: Dual 505, NAD3020, AR18 speakers! :cool:

I agree, especially with the narrow gap between the down tube and front wheel - looks like it's been crashed.

Hmm, external cam QRs really don't allow you to apply that much force. I would try a bolt across that collar first to see - once the waggle test is done.

The 94 was the best-looking Kona ever. Gorgeous colour especially if built up with black components.

I absolutely adore touring in Spain, I'll be interested to see some of your venturing into the Vias Verdes. https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/retrobike-touring.258143/page-65#post-3324746

I agree with @bikeworkshop - often bikes leave the factory with an ill-fitting post, often even the post dimensions are wrong or sloppily toleranced. The waggle test is a good starting point.

Cadex frames are massively underrated / stunningly good value.

I have to agree with @pigman - it's easiest to change stuff at the front, even possibly a triple. If you do decide to switch at the back, for road up to 10 speed any Shimano MTB rear mech up to 9 speed will work fine. After that it's a compatibility nightmare.

And that Cinder Cone was a lighter frame than the Kaboom!

Magura spares available here: https://www.tartybikes.co.uk/hoses_and_fittings/c598.html As far as I know all the hose fittings are generally common between Magura disc and rim brakes.

When putting it up for sale, make sure the RIGHT side is visible, as that has all the Chianti Gran Pasta Comp Sport 6207 stuff visible!

Nice bike, Orbits are always slightly understated, appealing IMV to those in the know. Expect the Strava-carbon-Specialized-power-rangers to blank it (and you) at the cafe!

You can have a radial non-drive side, but the differences in spoke tensions are HORRIBLE (radial is lower), because the NDS already has lower tensions due to dish. I tried it on my road bike and it never stayed true. Better is radial drive side, but the drive forces come along the hub barrel -...
