    Wanted Renthal RC+130 Wanted

    Thanks. I know I'm asking for a lot but I'd like to have one in as near to perfect condition as possible. I've actually fitted a KCNC Bone now which is approx 120g so 10g lighter so at least I'm able to continue riding my Pace :cool:

    Wanted Renthal RC+130 Wanted

    Thanks. Purple wouldn't really go with the blue anodised frame. I've actually fitted a KCNC Bone now which is approx 120g so 10g lighter (I still ride my Pace regularly) than the Renthal bar but I'm still looking for a Renthal because I'd like to keep my Pace as close to its original spec as...

    Wanted Renthal RC+130 Wanted

    I have a Pace RC200 F6 MTB, fitted with Renthal RC+130 (590mm long - anodised pewter finish) handlebars. Unfortunately, the bar has split along the length and so it needs to be replaced. Has anyone got one they'd like to sell? Or does anyone know where I can get one from? They'd need to be in...

    Ooops. My mistake. I missed the American bit :facepalm: It does have a Chris King Headset though and that's American :lol: Please feel free to remove my post MOD's.

    Gary Fisher Aquila

    Thanks. I can't believe I've never heard of Sugino :facepalm: Obviously I'd heard the name, Gary Fisher bikes. That's what drew me to this particular one. But as you say, they were always something of a rarity. It looked original and I got the impression it had been looked after, used as...

    Gary Fisher Aquila

    Here's my latest acquisition. Actually, it's not for me, it's for my other half. I don't know much about the bike. It was bought from a local bike recycling centre on a bit of a whim. I'm guessing it's a child bike because the frame size is approx 13" but my other half is small in stature so...

    26" MTB Tyre Recommendations

    No problem. I appreciate you taking the time to reply. Thanks. I've used Panracer Darts/Smokes in the past and liked them a lot. I did look at Gravelking's but didn't think the tread pattern would give me enough traction on the type of terrain I normally ride on, especially on climbs.

    26" MTB Tyre Recommendations

    Up-date. I've now managed quite a few rides on my new tyres and I have to say, I'm really pleased with them. I was quite surprised at how little tread there is on the Racing Ray (front) but there is plenty of grip. The thing I am surprised about is how well they roll. My bike feels twice as...

    Can you use car oil as fork oil?

    My friendly local motorcycle dealer gave me some motorbike fork oil for free. They'd used some on a bike service, charged the customer for 1 litre, used approx 400ml. They told me they wouldn't use the rest which meant it was effectively in their way as it was taking up shelf space. After a...

    Front disc brakes

    Thanks for your reply. The forks/frame do not have disc mounts. I'm sure someone (maybe Hope) made a bracket for the forks that was retro fit and obviously I know you can change the rear drop-outs (but I'm happy to retain the V Brake set up on the rear). I've spoken to Hope recently about my BB...

    Front disc brakes

    I guess this might be a longshot but here goes. I have a Pace RC200 F6 fitted with Pace RC36 Pro Class forks. I've had the bike from new. Disc Brakes were a relatively new innovation when it was built so I stuck with XTR V Brakes. I've always fancied upgrading the front brakes to Disc. Does...

    bear valley..should i

    If it's close to you, it has to be worth a look. And if everything is in reasonable working order, what have you got to lose?

    bear valley..should i

    It should definitely be saved. My first MTB was a Bear Valley SE so I am probably slightly biased. As to value? It might help to ask the question here: viewforum.php?f=78

    1990 Marin Pine Mountain

    Lovely looking bike. My pal had a Pine Mountain which prompted me to buy my first MTB. I couldn't justify stretching to a PM so opted for a Bear Valley SE instead. Fitted it with Manitou elastomer forks (with about 1" of travel), SPD's and eventually up-graded everything to XT spec. That bike...

    Help with pace rc35 dismantling...

    Try this: https://mtb-kataloge.de/Bikekataloge/PD ... C35_96.pdf If the RC35's are anything like my RC36 Pro Class forks, I think there might be a small hole on each fork leg stanchion. If so, try inserting a small Allen key or something similar to lock the suspension rod (the part you have...

    Is this a Pace Frame i

    Definitely not a Pace Frame. If it helps, this is what they should look like (some frames did come in other colours): viewtopic.php?f=6&t=414460
