my 'O' has an M900 XTR headset in it with the original rigid fork/stem/bar combo Not that its much help if you've got a 1 1/8 forks

I snapped a set of Azonic DH bars that were probably only a year or two old about 10 years ago. Took off over a set of doubles and in pulling up pulled the RH side of the bar clean off at the stem, made for an interesting landing! They were secondhand and had been used by a 'heavy' trials...

Ah, there is none on the 'O' its all top tube routed Doh! Stock of M900 XTR parts hitting for sale soon then :cry:

The splines are proper mangeled, don't think back in is an option! guide screw? Its the fixed cartridge, not the cup, that came out ok! Tried filling with WD (which ran down the chainstay and out all over the kitchen floor - don't tell the mrs!), will have to get some Plus Gas or similar...

yep its out about half an inch maybe a bit more, will borrow a set and see, cheers

So, stripped the 'O' down to frame/forks and come to remove the really old BB. Notice the splines look a bit messy but press on anyway (bad idea). So using my 4 foot scaffold on my 2 foot breaker I get it turning with the occasional little slip, get it half way out and...

Apologies for the billy basic question, but I've just realised that in over 15 years of MTB'ing I've never understood the different crank length reasoning! My bike has 175mm's for example, now I've seen 170mm's and 180mm's what would the effect of a swap to shorter/longer be?

.....but I now own my very own copy of Dirt on VHS. :D The mrs is out, I cooked a massive pan of chilli and just sat and stuffed my face though the biggest grin I've had in a long time! That film was everything to us at 13/14, we used to watch it in the morning before going out for the entire...

Mine is a 17" with serial number A1086766 which puts it 8 frames after Tobydog11 's and 74 before boy"O"boy 's mine has triple mounted cable routing and a replaceable hanger....

yep, cheers, I think that confirms mine is a '92 model '91 produced as it has a replaceable mech hanger. I was more after the colour options to confirm I could choose satin black and it be correct which has be confirmed Cheers

My Cannondale had Mythos XC Kevlar's, I used to get constant punctures, it was a running joke amoungst my friends, I got punctures 7 days in a row one week!

I have one of the first batch of On One 'The Gimp' 's (with the manufacturing error) and for what its worth its the most comfortable jump bikes I've ever ridden. I feels like a big jump bmx, even with 4" forks on it!

Its A108xxxx so Aug 91 I beleive, decals are repro I think Yep, alistalk and hotrods and correct xtr m900 FM. I'm not sure on spec further than what I have, quite fancy rigid, I've recently put RC36's on my Cannondale and that is my real 'tool' so got a hankering for another bone shaker...

just these rubbish ones from the night I got it I've strated stripping it, although I've hit on a couple of problems. 1. The bottom bracket teeth are totally chewed to bits, I've got it half out but its extremly tight and now I can't get the tool to stay in the splines without...

class, cheers! Mine is an 'O' XTR, weighed it last night and it was bang on 26lb, but has a deore crankset which may be the difference between 25.75 and 26lb (along with years of crud and grease packed everywhere!)

cheers, would be great if you could. Think i'm settled on satin black then, might start the strip down tonight!

Ahhhhhhh, just noticed the 'gallery' button at the bottom of posts :oops: Looks like his is a satin black '91 as well.............. I can feel a stripping and painting session coming on!

Does anyone have a copy of mbuk or similar from 1990/1991 which might have a Stif Orange ad like this one from 1992 : (shamlessly stolen from northerndave's prestige thread :P ) or a catalogue with colour options. I would like to see for certain the colour options shown, the...

How strange I trawled the forum last night to find this thread to check I wasn't going mad and the colour actually existed and then its bounced back to the top the next morning! I had the exact same colour combo, although its now gone to the great bike shop in the sky as the chainstay weld to...

Needed for Orange Aluminium 'O' project, what have you got?
