    26"TYRES

    Re: I use a rigid 26" wheel mountain bike for commuting on the road. The best slick tyres I've ever used are Vittoria Rubino Pro Slick 26 x 1.5. Basically, it's just a larger version of one of there fast 150 TPI road bike tyres. High quality tyres that are light, fast and comfortable. I wish...

    White conical headset spacer

    I don't know anything about this type of headset. But are these white Ritchey conical spacers any good?: http://en.gyro.fr/CT-361-headsets-spacers.aspx

    Stem for a longish bar

    Re: I think 80mm would be a good stating point for you because, according to what I've read online, the general rule of thumb is: For every 20mm increase in handlebar length - you should reduce stem length by 10mm. So if you start with 660mm bars and a 100mm stem - and want to move to 700mm...

    Rigid suspension forks on Marin '99

    Re: Yes, you can fit a rigid fork to the bike. Where it gets complicated is that you need to make sure they are 'suspension corrected', to suit the geometry of the frame. The Spyders on your Marin have 80mm travel. (According to: http://www.bikesdetails.info/Marin_Eldr ... _1999.html)...

    Can i fit a rigid fork to this?

    Re: Yes, find out what suspension travel the frame was originally designed for. Replace with a rigid fork also designed to fit on frames made for that travel.

    Voodoo update

    Re: Wow, very nice. But these won't be available over here, presumably? Because Halfords have rights to the brand in the UK.

    whats the best year for retro mountain bike manufacture?

    Re: I like the V-brake era - but before aluminium totally replaced steel. I also prefer threadless headsets and compact frames. So it’s Kona, Sunn, Voodoo etc. from 97/98 for me. But yes it could be romantic yearnings for those times when I was young, delighted to be getting into mountain...

    High-end 26” V-Brake rim in Silver, made by….?

    I had exactly the same problem recently - and concluded no new rims were available. Luckily, some NOS silver XC717s turned up on eBay. The problem is 26" is out, V-brakes are out, and silver components are also out. So your choice of rims as been drastically reduced - to the point were can’t...

    So, 26", 27.5" and 29".

    Re: No way, my tortoise is much better than any turtle. Because they can live for up to 326 years, unlike the short lived turtle, that can only manage a mere 86 years. Although I do admire the turtles flat, streamlined shells - compared to the large dome shaped shell of the tortoise.

    So, 26", 27.5" and 29".

    Re: Re: Yeah, but 27.5 owners may say that their bikes are more agile than the big wheel 29ers. Yet just as fast, because their wheels are lighter - and faster accelerating. It's a complicated issue isn't it? Too complicated for consumers. And this is a forum of experienced and knowledgeable...

    So, 26", 27.5" and 29".

    Re: The industry has got itself in a mess though hasn't it? So I think it would be great to go back to having one wheel size again, like the good old days. And if the rumour spreads that Giant and other brands intend to phase out the 29er, it could seriously damage 29er sales. Leading to a...

    So, 26", 27.5" and 29".

    Re: Apparently, Giant are plaining to phase out the 29er also. Because they want to go back to having one size standard MTB size again - so soon all their mountain bikes will be 27.5". There's a video on Youtube were a top Giant representative basically admits this. As well as several articles...

    Kona Kilauea 1997 18"

    Re: Is it 18" or 17"? The eBay listing says 17"? I'd recommend The Seatpostman, who recently removed one for me: https://www.facebook.com/theseatpostman1 You can do it yourself, but it's a massive hassle.
