Horses for courses - I always upgrade cartridge BB's to cup and cone 🤪😁🤪

Cup n cone all the way for me - I really don't like the throw away mentality of sealed units. It's really not so difficult to maintain and adjust them as some would have you believe.

No worries, knew it was a long shot. Thanks for the offer, TBH I don't think my OCD would cope with the Huret bolts 🤪

Bit of a long shot a year later I know... but do you still have these?

Thanks for the heads up - snagged a couple of cassettes before they all went as well a a saddle for 2.99! I wonder, do they do this again at Christmas/New Year?

You are a very bad influence - I'll let you know what it is when it arrives :p I'm guessing it's a Dalesman but could be wrong. I've accumulated enough parts over time that I should be able to put the Yellow Peril together without too much outlay - think a BB is all I'll need to find.
