I’ve got rims and hubs, both in 36h though.

After a hectic few days away I managed to get a little bit more work completed on the bike, mostly visual though as fork still passing air and I feel the bb is clearly too short, anyone recommend what length I’d need for m750 cranks?

Would anyone happen to have a ‘92 Marin Lite Eldridge Grade stem kicking around going spare? Pic taken from a previous eBay post.

Bit slow on the updates as been busy with a few other projects but today updated the m900 XTR cranks to a cleaner set, added a set of XT pedals and finally got around to fitting my m900 cassette. Still on the lookout for a front IRC Piranha Pro K tyre if anyone has one?

Started with a quick mock up and a fork service tonight, and so far so good. May have limited time this next few days due to some personal shizzle going on but will try to keep you all updated.

3 or four frames bought and sold later I finally did a deal with Chris on this stunning little beauty.

As usual I’m terrible with build threads so please bare with me. A picked up a cheap F8 in summer with a re welded headtube and stuck seatpost so took it to John and the original plan was to rebuild it as was.

Looking for but not holding much hope of finding a Muddy Fox, can either be original or reproduction.

Yeah that’s exactly what I’m thinking, I’ll have a few tins tonight and set about making one. That is unless I can find a 25-27.4 shim but not holding out much hope.

Cheers chaps. It seems to have clamped up with a 27.2 shim on a U.S.E post, it did take some winding in though so may go down the beer can shim route yet.

I rode it to the pub yesterday, does that count? 🍻🍻🤣

Apologies still getting my head around the forums build treads and how it all goes about but I built this Orange Aluminium O up as a spare parts build today.1992 specs . Picture speak for their words.

Hi all. Could anyone please confirm the correct seat post size for a ‘91 stamped 92 model Orange Aluminim O. Pic for attention.

Thanks for the replies chaps. I should have added that I have my own jig and tools etc as been building my own wheels for 30+ years but mostly always BMX. I pretty much know most BMX sizes off by hand, but it’s has been a while since I’ve scratch build a pair of MTB wheels, and with them being...

I tried a few online calculators but baffle my head. I’m looking to build a set of nos 36h Drore DX hubs onto 36h m232cd rims. Anyone able to help me out with spoke sizes before I order some? Tia.
