Re: Really looking for small / medium no more that 16inch. We have both been on a ride today, and he may be changing his mind, he is thinking more plus tyred hard tail with dropper, this we could possibly be looking at buying new or at least modern (last few years).

Re: Sorry, far to big, looking for small/medium.

Re: Frame size/wheel size?

My lad has my old Cube hard tail race bike 26inch, it's a good spec of XT and SLX, decent wheels, Reba forks etc. I recently bought myself my first full suss and he now has bike envy and wants a full suss like his dad. Not wanting to spend £££s, and would want to use the Cube Ltd SL as a donar...

Re: I'll take the chain set and BB if you can accept PayPal? Matt

Re: Interested in the chainset and BB, photos not showing can you send me image/link. Thanks

Re: Grease on no grease, for crown and for cups? Done a crown before it was a split type and used a blunt screw driver, but I understand some PVC pipe would be a cheap and safer option! Ill have a go at the cups with a mallet. What is the best way to secure the frame, I guess with the other...

Re: As I expected. Got a sealed Chain Reaction own brand one lined up. Slight concern over getting them pressed in place - as I don't have the correct tooling - but I do have a rubber mallet :shock:

Re: Looks like the origin headset according to another spec was FSA TH-857 ...Caged bearings, is this sort of headset any good or should I be looking for something better?

Hi Bought a steel frame and a separate steel fork. Straight 1 1/8 (not tapered), so that simplifies things, but still confused by the types (integrated, semi integrated, etc). I am guessing I need 'conventional'? Really not sure. Furthermore does it require any sort of press for installing...

Re: Ended up with this https://www.condorcycles.com/products/t ... -disc-fork I could find road carbon disc forks, but they lacked clearance or guard mounts. CX forks were rare in any thing but tapered form, and expensive. Any carbon 'touring' forks were pretty much obsolete or expensive...

I have a Kinesis CX and agree, but it sames the fork has since been replaced and the replacement is expensive.

Re: OK - so any ideas? Kinesis DC19? Is one I just found.

Guys In my wisdom :facepalm: :? I bought a nice new steel frame off Ebay, I knew it didn't come with forks, but didn't realize the hassle of finding some to use with it. The aim is to build up a winter road/tourer/cx/gravel thing. The size is 1 1/8 (pretty standard), but straight (so takes...

Re: They would be perfect, but way over what I want to spend.

Re: The Crossrocs look at tad tired. Are the bontrager ones light weight, what bike did they come off?

Re: Can you link the thread please?

My lad inherited my XC race bike, its 26inch wheels with regular QR. Stans rim on Shimano hubs, the rear hub is knacked and the rim has flat spot. Looking to replace it, ideally of a similar spec (lets say light weight/mid-range). Looks like choices on the online shops is rapidly declining...

Re: I was looking at them, do I need to be concerned with the bar diameter for MTB levers/shifters, are they different to road?

I am in the process of building up a second cross type bike using spare parts. It's a cx frame and rigid carbon forks. It's going to be 1x10 that I can make up using MTB or Road kit, it's also got discs, and I have cable pull (Road Sora level) or hydrauluc (Mtb Deore). I don't have road levers...
