Off the charts cool.

Not an advert as such but who remembers being blown away when the V brake was first shown on the Grundigs. This did way more than any ad could for Shimano.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikxYIarCjfc

Im in Ireland and pre brexit I traded weekly and happily with a lot on here and on ebay and in uk shops etc with absolutely zero issues. I had a virtual address in Northern Ireland so effectively it cost me the same in post for something sent to Ireland as it did to anywhere else in the UK. Post...

A Tiger 90 bikini bath tub would be £4,500-£5000 currently.

Fantastic hubs.I had 2 sets of the earlier(freewheel) Paris Gao Dakar hubs on M7CD rims.Easily the strongest(and one of the heaviest) wheelsets I have ever ridden.Could you put a Dremel to a cassette and get it to fit?

PM sent.

If you are using 577 hubs does that mean you are stuck with using ultra rare Mavic cassettes from the "Mountain" group?

Dammit,these were specced on my Tomac Buckshot,if they are still available and you can post to Ireland drop me a pm.

I have restored a few vintage motorbikes and by far powdercoating is the most durable. I`d recommend you get some scrap spindles to mask the pedal threads and you`ll need to protect the crank cap threads too which may be an issue as crank caps are usually plastic.The chainring spider interface...

Thanks Ian, its been quite a while since I used an M95/ chainset, I forgot about the V1 delights that lay in wait to remind me. I have a V1 Dura Ace BB. What would stop me from using spacers with that narrower shell BB?Im assuming its a 109mm spindle on my Dura Ace BB,would the 3mm difference be...

Been asked a million times before but what length spindle BB do I need for an M950 crank on my 73mm Zaskar BB shell?Is 105 still the only modern option for replacement?Would any in the link be suitable?https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/ie/p/shimano-105-5500-octalink-road-bottom-bracket

I think I used an NC-17 bolt on mine a few years back.

These would be ideal if you could wait a couple of...

I changed my v brake bolts by choice to stainless,two essential tips-try and get a cap head with a head as small as possible or ideally a dome head,these wont foul anything.Most importantly of all is to apply a liberal coat of copper grease on the bolts as stainless will cold weld (seize)on...

Sorted thanks.

Wishing him a speedy recovery.

I have a 95 American Eagle Concorde Big Bear with a double butted Tange frame and Ritchey dropouts,its a nice bike.They were a Dutch brand that used the "American"moniker to drum up sales as people gravitated to U.S. brands.Caroline Alexander was a factory rider in 1999 so there is an olympic...

I ran 11 speed on my 26er Anthem for a few years and didnt have any problems but I was conscious of it being more vulnerable to strikes.In the end I converted it back to 9 speed XT using a Sunrace 11-40 and single chainring,it will climb anything and shifting is 100%.

Recently got a nice mech from Colin who kindly footed the (international)postage.Great to deal with.

I was talking to a local mechanic(guy is extremely competent)and he says certain recabling/rehosing jobs now take hours with internal instead of a half hour with external routing.My three bikes need the bottom bracket to be removed to fit a new mech cable,think about it,what total bellend...
