Put a photo from the side of the mech with the mech over the big sprocket.

If it's a steel framed mountain bike the headstock length is a reasnoable way of identifying frame sizes, well I had no trouble telling the sizes apart from pictures that included the headstock. I never had an ali frame so no need to look at them, I am sure there is some similar give away. I...

Not quite as full frontal, it was a bit bashful.

I may well have one, but after being in my damp garage it will be rusty. It's probably a common item. I looked up DX mech and found Cable Fixing Bolt Unit is 530-9804. If you look up an LX or XT mech you will probably find it's the same part.

I remove the cage when I clean a mech. Only problem I have had with a mech was with a DX mech that the chain/jockey couldn't be kept away from the big sprocket on the cassette. Turned out I had to much spring tension, you will see there are a couple of holes you have the option of putting...

I am not getting out enough, I think a new bike is needed to gee me up a bit. Any PRSTs for sale?

You probably have the power advantage over me, my VB is barely faster than the tredarists I slowly pass. I went to "250 Heathers" house on a B31, she hid my boots and I ended up starting the bike barefoot, my foot isn't very rigid.

So hows the hip with a kickstart? My hip has just started to get a bit iffy I walk around the length of the garden with a strimmer and my my hip hurts like ****. I haven't got my VB out and am dreading it. What if I can't kick it over! Only young blokes whinge about kicking a bike over.

Beth Hart does quite a few I couldn't decide to link to Kashmir or Whole lotta love. And of course there is Heart doing Stairway to Heaven.

Far from an expert but have bought a few. I stuck the number in Google and found them on eBay & Amazon.

I have tried/am learning guitar, must be great to be Jeff.

I have posted this before. The best solution strength is not a lot, strong enough to raise the temperature of cold water to warm. But If you mix it strong enougth for the water to be hot, the solution will boil when it finds some aluminium to react with; it usualy blows it self out of the tubes...

Doesn't have to be messy.

It's a long time since I measured a post, all the ones I measured were something like .08 under. I measured a few frames and they were all oval, averaged around the nominal diam[well a marin frame I measured was almost a .1mm larger than expected]. That is measuring where the stays and top tube...

Re: Re: More like the tube used on that Bizango frame that was floating around.

But if your cable stop is on at an angle, the angle of the cable is OK. Both my top pull frames had cable stops presumably intended for top swing mechs, but as they made top pull bottom swing mechs, I am guessing there are frames with stops at a suitable angle.

That's what I do. Found a pic of my lobster, you can see what the cable lines going to be like with the new XT mech; it gets even worse when you pull the cage out. And the not so good pic of it with a top swing mech, the cable is the line inline with the seat post.

The top pull bikes I have had were the same, think I may have even asked this question.

When your passing them sing the bike song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPMXt9Me_Fo

I pulled a UN91, it had felt a bit metal on metaley. After I pulled it out it felt lovely and smooth but a bit loose. I stuck it in another bike and it felt loose, the cranks could be rattled a bit, but it was lovely and smooth.
