Re: I've inherited a ogre xt dyna tech that needs restoring
My son has given me his 1992 dyna tech ogre xt that needs restoring. It hasn't been used for some years and has all the original fittings apart from a pair of pace rc35 front forks. I do have all the shimano leaflets that came with the bike but alas they only tell you how to fit for example the rear mechanisms and adjust them not how to take them apart and degrease them. Any advice on where it get this info. I've not rebuilt bikes before but used to maintain my own car in the days gone by and am reasonable mechanically competent. The only thing I will avoid trying to do is true up the rear wheel which is a few mm out of true, that activity seems a bit of an art form to me.
Do you also have advice on which greases to use on the hubs and mechanisms.
