Suspenders What did you need to know? There are suspenders and suspenders II. not sure of exact differences I know elastomers are hard to replace I bought some from a reproduction elastomer supplier in the states but they are too narrow. I think 2.5 inches of travel. Look awesome, ride...

Browning video Ok, I'm new to putting video on the puter. Should I shoot this on a Nokia N95 and try downloading to u-tube? Or should I do it on a proper video camera? Not sure what the formats will be?

never enough Thing is bikes aren't that bad as they take up relatively little space. Its when the affliction inlcudes cars and boats it becomes a problem. My 20 + bikes are fine, its the 10 cars, 3 boats, jetski and 3 trailers that take up space. As another expert collector once commented at...

Another Mts set on ebay I just saw a set similar if not the same on our Australian ebay. (www.ebay.com.au) search suntour to find them. Says they are Shimano compatible. Would have to be reincarnated Suntour if thats the case?? Not sure what you mean about the logo?

Well after many years collecting all the right ingredients (about 9 yrs actually) I have just built up a 90 Stumpy with the Suntour Browning Front mech/crank setup. Just finished and took it for the obligatory round the block test (its after midnight). Wow, wow wow. When I put it all together...

When too many is almost enough! I never let the missus know a figure that way she can't count them and work out there is more, and always move them around if you have more than one storage area. Come to think of it I can't even remember how many I have 20+ I suppose

Suntour twisters I personally think they are a much later series than 93. They look cheap and nasty (no offence just comparing them with say XC pro). Despite the fact suntour went broke in 94/95 ish the brand was sort of started again and still exists today in a mass production low end...

Rotor Q rings on the pros bikes OK Guys , someone earlier mentioned that if , (I'll use the term non round rings to avoid the debate on shape) Non round rings, were so good how come everyone isn't using them. Well I recently went to have a look at the World MTB Champs in Canberra and guess...

Too many what? Look lets get a couple of things straight, there is no such thing as too many. When things get crowded its simply a storage/space issue. I find hanging them from the wheel on hooks and arranged, and hung from rear wheel/front/rear/front allows them to be packed neatly yet easily...

Klein Interestng topic this one. I don't own a Klein but I would certainly take up the opportunity if it come along (theres bugger all here in OZ and freight from the US is horrific for anthing bigger than a fork) I personally can't see any reason to hate Klein - bike or man. OK so a few...

San an pics How come I can't access the pic of this bike. I'm bustin to see how it compares with my Suntour Equipped 92

True classic See now thats the true sprit of vintage MTB. If you can't buy it , make it from scratch with metal and your hands. Think early Ritchey, Fisher, Bontrager and all those cool cottage manufacturers. Now your fork has gone from useless to a custom one of. Way to go

San Andreas Actually the bar ends are control tech (but I thight they made the original dirt rodz too) they are and addition I made to try and balance the colours a bit. The hubs are blue with purple brake adaptors. Talk about float in the rotors, with the wheel out of the caliper theres like a...

Original San Andreas I have to agree with previous sentiments that the best San Ans are the original do it all trail bike/XC. Heres my example, Orig XC Pro MD, Prostops Etc. Someone went wild with the puple and blue which I have actually taken a lot off (ringle cage, blue stem, purple post etc)...

Long live Suntour I Used Suntour from about 87 until 97 and raced at pro level for some of that time I agree that Suntours cassette wasn't as smooth shifting as Shimano but the rest of the XC pro stuff was much better from a durability point that anything from Shimano. Grease guard in the...

Fisher Procaliber Well here in Australia when I started racing in 87 there was really only 2 bikes with XT worth having, the Fisher Procaliber and the Shogun Prarie Breaker team issue (a distant 2nd though) The Fishers of this age were tange Prestige, Yellow fade to blue paint or I think later...

Well Not strictly speaking bike parts but I have a couple of Thomas Frischnets world cup medals. Don't think there would be too many in circulation?? Other bits: 2 Suntour BEAST electronic front derailluers Epic ultimate framset #13 of the last 60 Overend series (have another epic ultimate...

92 Top Stumpy I thought the 92 steel green /blue Stumpy with Suntour XC Pro was the S-works steel????

I was just thinking about one of my projects which involves using a Beast Electronic front crank. Anyone played with these. Comments etc??? In the instructions it says you must use 6 spd not 7. I can only think the chain width may be different so may effect how it changes across the front...
