thread mine and update....Haven't touched the original Gore cables I fitted back in 1995, work as smooth as the day I bought them.

Re: Love it, had one years ago. I wish I kept it now but didn't miss the rollercam brakes it had. enjoy.

Re: Yes, though I'm kept working up and down Australia's eastcoast I still come back and ride the trails of Brisbane Water National Park, north of Sydney and on the same bike.

Re: Original Headshok bearing are still found on ebay etc, as are the 88 needle roller bearing racks. The first gen Headshok is a bit bouncier than later models but is a nice ride when its set up right.

Re: Cool thread for sure. Don't know if I posted much of my stuff..... 96 Super V carbon I've owned since new drop bars I fitted shortly after I purchased it. I've recently rebuilt the Sachs ergopower levers and headshok front susp. Original LX XT derailleurs. CODA cranks, Black Spire...

Yes, I'm on the look out for the Gore originals for some V's of mine, the newer Sram equivalent seems like a watered down version to me. One of my Super V's has had "Gore ride ons" since new, 1995 I've never had to adjust them.

Re: great Cdale you have, seems like they're not real popular on here either due to no replies on my recent Super V post.

Re: Weren't all the Zaskars and LE's made in the US ? Nice anodized frame by the way.

bit like pulling liners out of diesels . Might need some sort of bridged puller.

Re: Will make a nice ride cleaned up. now in Sydney eh !

Better post some of my Cannondale's up here for all to see. here's my 96 speed yellow Super V900 carbon I bought new, it has gone through a couple of rebuilds but has proven pretty much bombproof for me I occassional tow a BOB trailer to work with it carrying tools of my craft. Currently gear...

Not strictly MTB specific but I used these on my drop bar MTB until I swapped to Sachs ergopower. I liked how well they worked offroad.

Re: Thought I would post a picture of my old Cannondale "Beast of the East" which was a lovely mauve colour when I bought it back in '91. Stripped the frame and polished up with a custom made 6061T6 rigid fork added. I started out with the Scott drops using Suntour XC pro drivetrain and...

Re: Yes chess, some of the smaller Cdale M series frames were of the Killer V design to allow stand over clearance for shorter riders. Should have a rigid P bone aluminium fork up front.

Re: Used Ritchey Z Max K's for years back then, 1.9, 2.1 or 2.35's depending on where I was and weather conditions. Ritchey released the Z speedmax K for the 1996 Atlanta Olympics which I found great for hardpack areas here. Geoff

Re: Thanks for the welcome guys, Hey Marc, yeh Cannondale Super V's were to radical for most at the time. My favorite I always wanted is my Super V Raven I just rebuilt,probably to new for this site 1998 model Australia's eastcoast states are huge so there's heaps of MTBking to be had...

Re: I can not get anymore bikes in cause of all the room hers take up :!:

Re: New here and just found this site and thread. been riding drop barred MTB's offroad since 1993, great stuff. Geoff

Hi there everyone, Found this site through Google a couple of weeks previous. I'm enjoying the retro MTBking threads which are bringing back some great memories of past classics I've owned. My current rides are all C'dale Super V's one later Jekyll and a very early Speedwell which you guys...
