I am out of ideas why this is happening. I have a set of Suntour XC Comp pedals. While rebuilding my 86 MB-1 the right pedal body would loosen up like the outside dust cap screw would back off. Found out the outside bearing was bad. They do not made the same letter# bearing today. I found a...

Re: Thanks! The tires are WTB All Terrainasaurus from around 1998-99. WTB still makes the tire but just calls it ALL Terrain http://www.wtb.com/products/all-terrain It is a mix surface tire that does well on pavement, grass, and hard pack. The bike came standard with 26X1.95 inch tires. Not...

Replacing a1" Shimano 600 heatset (it's shot) with a 1" Ritchey headset on a MB-1 Bridgestone. I cannot get the fork crown race to press on the fork. It seems that the old headset fork crown race sets lower on the fork than the Ritchey. I have used a pipe that covers the race and a rubber...

This is a before and after picture for my Roller Cam Brakes. On the right is what I am starting with. On the left is the result of about 2 and -a -half hours of work. I used different methods of cleaning and polishing to get that result. I used ceramic oven top cleaner to clean all the brass...

You can see how nasty this wheel was. It looks like bar oil for a chain saw was used on this drive train. One of the things that I have learn working on project bikes, is that you have to take everything apart and clean it before you know if you have crap or not. Most of the time the grease and...

Not sure how much if any design input was from Peterson on the 86 MB-1 since he had only been working for Bridgestone USA for about two years. Looks like you are the owner of one of most idiosyncratic of Petersen's designs

I had posted the Bridgestone back in 2009 when I got the bike as a Father's Day gift from my wife. It has been sitting on the back burner since I was having a custom cross built. SN#A680660 so I think it was made in January 1986 A buddy of mind was the owner of the bike and said he paid...

Thanks for the replys. I think the one in the picture would work but it is just a little different. I think I will try the Tacx pulleys. I can get them from my LBS.

I am working on a 86 Suntour XC RD. I need to replace the jockey wheels and they are 10T. Does anybody know what would be a good replacement?Should any 10T work? Thanks for the help

Sram 9.0 Jockey Wheels I am looking for a resource for jockey wheels for Sram 9.0 ESP 8 speed RD. I have a set of Tacx T4025 and they fit my Sram 9.0 8 speed RD. The T4025 would fit the lower but the upper has a bigger hole or a fitting that goes in the center. Thanks for the help

That bike looks nice. I always loved the Girvin fork!

This is a project that I completed about a year 1/2 ago. I had been wanting to do it since I got the bike in 97-98. This is a 1996 Bontrager Privateer Comp (Post-Trek).It was a full XT build and back in the day ran $1699.00. I received the Frame,Fork and Seat Post from the Bontrager rep. Since...

Thanks for the feed back. I guest the first place I will start is with a good cleaning and treat the frame. I think if I keep it as is, then I will have to put in on a good biking trip and take it down the GAP & the C&O Canal.

Hi All, New to the forum and a noob to the retro bike stuff. I did do a restoration last year on a 96 Bontrager Privateer Comp with a Waltworks fork and a mix of old & new parts. But I know in some circles that does not count because it's not a true Bontrager frame. I have a shot at...
