Can anyone help me with how to setup some SIDs? I've never had any of these and am a bit puzzled by the number of air valves... There seems to be one on the top of the drive side fork leg and two on the non-drive side, one at either end. Can anyone tell me what each of these do? I presume the...

Am emigrating to Australia next month, so have to get rid of a load of bits. Doesn't seem any point in shipping them around the world! Anything that isn't gone by early next week will be put on the 'bay, apart from the karma stuff which will most likely end up in the bin, or a job lot on ebay if...

A 2002 Orange Patriot LT Couple of bits i'll change when opportunity presents (e.g. the purple seat QR), but my first exploration in this full suspension territory. Feels soooo different to my usual XC type rides, will be giving it a good trial down at Cannock Chase sometime in the next few...

Am looking for some new brake hoses for my Hope C2 brakes, apparently they use 6mm hoses and all new Hope brakes use 5mm..... Does anybody know where I can get 6mm from?

A variety of stuff i've either used for a while before swapping for something else, or bought for a build that never materialised.... As usual, if you think I'm way off with any prices then give me an offer. Most of this stuff is just sitting around taking up space so I'd rather it want to...

Am looking for a M737 or M739 rear mech, of either the medium or long cage variety. Anybody got one they are looking to part with?

Hi Does anybody know how to remove a stuck reservoir cap on the Hope Pro brake lever? The ones that were supplied with Hope C2s, Bought a set the other day but I'm buggered if I can get it moving. The other one moved easily but this one seems jammed and I don't want to destroy it removing it...

Hi Does anyone have a 28.6mm top pull front mech? I'm not bothered about it being a high spec model, its for the commuter bike and the one I was using has just expired WHYG?

Had some On One midge bars sitting there for months, finally got around to fitting them to my Cindercone. Can't make my mind up if I think its a monstrosity with them on, or if I actually like it. Tis very comfortable to ride and just soaks up distance with the skinny tyres on tho.

Built this bike up for the Real Ale Wobble last november, but never got round to posting it up here! The idea when I bought it was to make something that would work well in the the deep mud on the Wobble (Wales in November) whilst still having parts that were from the same time as the frame...
