    Amber / gum wall tyres

    Probably a very over asked question but where can you get 26 x 1.95 amber / gum wall tyres mainly cheap cheerful? There used to be a listing for Duro ones on eBay but no longer there. Don't want to spend a fortune as its only for an old Gary Fisher used for riding round with my daughter. I have...

    What's the front Spinergy and shock worth? I'd like the brakes and a few bits for my bike but not everything. What is the rear wheel looks odd where the spokes go into the rim?

    Old Saracen

    Does anyone know what components are fitted to it? I'm assuming it's all pretty low grade stuff! It's up for £35 just fancied another work hack! Either that or sort a few bits on my current one!

    Old Saracen

    Does any one know what year this might be? I know it's entry level but am struggling to find it! Looking in the archives I think it's 1990. The owner says it's black but I'm wondering if it's Aegean blue? Tempted to get it as a work bike and sell my Gary Fisher

    Repairing a saddle!

    Cheers that's what I was wondering if there is an actual filler, especially if it's coloured to suit that I can fill the hole with then shine the saddle up with something. Il search around and see what I can get.

    Repairing a saddle!

    Hum maybe, I've got loads of sump sealant at work. Might work if it dries hard. Seems a shame to do a full refurb to a nice saddle!

    Repairing a saddle!

    I see there is a thread in the restoration hints about repairing seats but I'm not sure what to do with the saddle I have. In general it is in very good condition and the logos are very good. The only thing is a tiny hole and scuff on one corner. Is there a more sympathetic way to repair this? I...

    1990 Fire Mountain Headset

    I was looking more to use the original but really want to replace this seal! Might see if I can find an o ring at work as anything is better than a torn seal!

    Rebuilding wheels

    I've just had a quick look and found schwalbe road cruisers, they look quite good. Im sure last time I searched I saw s tyre with a similar tread pattern. I don't think I've ever seen the maximum reaction tyres and to be hounest I didn't know they ran such a wide tyre on the better models!

    Rebuilding wheels

    Wheels all rebuilt thanks to boy "o" boy!! Next up is to find some tyres to suit. Sure from the catalogue they were 26 X 1.6 Ritchey Quads. I'm not sure to go for something similar in style or something completely different. I considered schwalbe city jets for one of my bikes as I mainly just...

    Rebuilding wheels

    I'm in Daventry Northamptonshire. We have a Leisure Lakes but I'm afraid they will laugh at the wheels and say they are scrap. They are the original hubs and rims so joytech front hub and a Shimano rear with mistral rims. Just want to clean them up as best as possible and reuse them. If they...
