Re:
Basic, used truing stand bought, scary “how to” YouTube videos watched - and the wheel is now significantly truer than it was
A very satisfying process when it works!
I shall reassemble and set the brakes up, change the tyres around as the rear has got a sizeable split developing and take it for a spin
Got to get new bearings for the BB as it has plenty of slack, but that can wait a while

Re:
Time to replace the crown that has a had hole drilled through it :roll:
Replacement crown sourced, along with a pair of freshly serviced, useable RC35s with Magura mounts
Is the general consensus that an RC100 should have a black crown? I feel it should, as the current one is quite a glossy black, in which case I shall have to send it off for anodising.

Re:
Looking good! Grey was available too Pete.
I had the crown on mine anodised in Gunmetal. It's a pretty good match to the paint colour. The 1st attempt looked more like 'Hope Gunsmoke' so I stripped it and had it redone. There's pics in the build thread in my signature.
I also have the RC35's if I choose to swap out the rigids. To make the swap less hassle, I also have a crown on my RC35 legs. This one came from Steve Worland and is anodised black. That crown probably has a bit of providence on it's own.
Did you get the rear wheel trued? .... as pete_mcc mentioned, the Dishless rear wheel is another one of those quirky RC100 traits. Think the Bradbury Manitou does the same too?
Here's pics of a Grey/Gunmetal crown.
Cheers.

Re: Re:
Hadn't considered grey - but as the flouro on mine is very err, flouro, I think it will pop better against black
Yep I managed to true the wheel myself enough to make it rideable. I will take it to the shop to get done properly - and also because I can't get the cassette off as it's been put on so tight I bent my chain whip trying to remove it to clean it! :shock: :facepalm: So I'll let the shop have at it with their tools!
I did a thorough clean and degrease a few weekends back as the frame was caked in grime in all the nooks and crannies. Looks much better Just the cassette to clean now :roll:

Re:
Excellent service from Acorn Plating, I posted a silver crown to them on Monday, they received it Tuesday, and by Tuesday pm I’d received a picture of the anodised black finished product :shock:
Then popped in the post and back to me all within the working week, can’t say fairer than that!
