Nakamura complit Tange ultimate ultrastrong prestige 1995 XT

[Rank_21]

This came up the other day for cheap, full XT M737. It's an intersport house brand "Nakamura", that might make you believe it's perhaps japanese, but actually french. Although it is made in Taiwan with japanese parts . The ribbed tube I presume is the ultrastrong?. Forks are spinner.
I'm sure many have been in this situation> Last night, while gutting her, I start to feel guilty. So I'm gonna give this a clean.Lube and add the acor levers I bought recently to test em out.





Mountain tool series? :roll:

:facepalm: :facepalm: Whilst deciding a very easy decision. Thumbshifters, gripshift or the original xt rapid fires? I just got an awful shock :shock: 2 months ago I sold off some my last thumbies I had on ebay, only for them to get lost in the mail. Oh my god!!! I think I sent 2 right sided shifters as I'm left with 2 left thumbies. That's real painful as I've sold off all my XT thumb shifters NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Ok moving on to the next part. Cranks=issue. Looks like the threading has been badly done, one of the bolts when removing was F+++kd.


After playing around with some lube and slowly trying to rethread with another bolt, it looks like everything is good. Filed down some of the obvious dents and cleaned the chainrings..

Next bottom bracket. I'd anticipated last night by allowing lubricant to fall in from the side overnight.


Underneath a BBUN-51. Was rough but the lubricant seems to have done it's job. Now lunch

If you have a M732 I would be interested. For this build however, I need to proceed to its completion rapidly, so I'm going to use the gripshifts

May I ask what grease are you using?

 

[Rank_21]

Lithium based for the internal springs. Mineral oil for the jockey wheels
