What are you using for the modelling? I ended up bodging a thumbie cover using the basic editor on Prusa slicer and the shape gallery.

Have you thought about releasing the STL files ? I have a 3 d printer, been looking for this exact thing for ages. I would pay a small fee for this.

A few 29+ rims for you to compare http://www.unicycle.uk.com/rim29nimbusdominator2.html http://www.unicycle.uk.com/29-kris-holm ... e-rim.html http://www.charliethebikemonger.com/sur ... 3712-p.asp http://www.charliethebikemonger.com/vel ... 4191-p.asp Andy

Re: Depends on the width of the rim, 29+ bikes such as the surly krampus use 50mm wide surly rabbit hole rims, you can fit 2.4-2.5" wide 29er tyres on them, but I think if you fitted a 3" tyre like the maxxis chronicle onto a normal 21mm 29er rim you'd likely get a few pinch flats, and roll...

Re: Hi is the frame still available ? And how much would postage be ? Thanks Andy

Re: Small world Aaron, Scott Francis asked me to pop a wee post about this up on RetroBike too :D Andy

Re: Well thats handy :D Andy

Hi think this is actually my first post in the MacRetro section. I'm in Arbroath, Angus and have been a long time lurker/ occasional poster on RetroBike. At the moment I only have one ridable retro bike and its my 1992 501 raleigh pioneer Hybrid I've mutated into a drop barred 'Monstercross'...

Been asked to post about the new Angus Cycling Festival by a friend who's organising it, he's interested in having a gathering of Retro bikes, as part of it, its still in the early stages of organising, but if theres enough interest there may be a best bike competition, for original, modded etc...

I'm not a bike mechanic or engineer so I'm no technical authority on this but you might have stripped the threads a little if the Locknuts slipping I don't think running the thread die over it will do any good, sounds like you need to put material back onto the threads, and have them re cut to...

First time posting in the Road section here. I picked up an old Raleigh racing bike, I think the model is a 'Rapier' (see pic of fork decal) from the 60's, with a low end Hi-ten steel frame, cottered cranks, with 26tpi BB (70mm shell), centre pull brakes, 27" wheels. It had been sat in a farm...

Would it be worth/advisable to try and straighten out the forks? Never cold set a frame or forks before but Sheldon brown would have you believe its not so hard, but I have my doubts about clamping the steerer in my wood vice and applying gratuitous amounts of -controlled- force to the Fork...

bikey:) : Your right on the money with that one. Heres mine I think the 300LXCranks on that one are nicer then mine...at least you can change the chainrings when they wear out. I had my suspicions the forks would not be 501, so would it just be the three main tubes in 501 and the rest ATT23...

I should have added the forks are unicrown, no decals on it. Andy

I recently acquired an above average condition 1992? Raleigh Pioneer Elite LX, Shimano Altus A20 groupset, Alesa rims, Exage hubs, Reynolds 501 handlebars and a lugged 501 frame. The paints black/dark blue with light metallic blue/green spots/splatter paint over it. The thing is the front wheel...
