I've added a couple of pictures which hopefully show the offending calliper better. Yes, I certainly will try to get an engineer to fix this post-lockdown.

Hi people. I have a hope torsion arm with the bleed nipple broken off and seized inside. Bummer. Does anyone have one lying around that I could acquire? Either the whole brake, the complete calliper or just the torsion arm half I could work with. I have a black brake but a complete silver...

Re: Oops It does help if I learned how to read a tape measure! you're absolutely right. I'lll change the advert. Thanks for pointing that out.

Yes Its 55cm. In one of the pictures I have shown the steerer alongside a measuring tape.

Right. Just got hold of a psylo fork 85-115 fork and some judy stickers... I like the idea of toying with a bit of extra travel too. I have a fox 80mm terralogics at the moment so this should be interesting. Watch this space. I'm also after a Flite Titanium saddle if anyone has a decent one to...

Very true but I guess thats also true of any component I've seen people buy rimless spins and shot ones, just wondering whether they are for wall art or whether there is somone out there that can attach a rim on or rig another rim on (even it its just for a display bike) or something. Not only...

Yup, like this!

I have a '98 Zaskar and although I love it for its retroness. I still use it as my main and only mountain bike. I'm sure I'll post pictures up here one day. I have however, upgraded lots of parts though out time to what ever takes my fancy. I recall MBUK retrofying their re-issue zaskar and...

As we all know, there are probably a lot of spin wheels that have split rims and rims that have separated and also have hub issues. Has anyone ever managed to repair a Spin wheel? if so, to what degree.

Re: What is the difference between a Zaskar and Zaskar LE fr I believe, from working in a bike shop in the mid 90s that the LE stands for 'light Edition' rather than 'Limited Edition'. It was only the build spec that was different, the frames were the same.

I have these bars too!

The QR axle for the hope bulb is a through axle unit. However, the earlier ones with a 5 or 4 bolt mounting had a different axle length to the later one with a 6 bolt rotor mount. I'm after the 6 bolt versin (Part number HUB415 from Hope). Unfortunately, they don't seem to make any of the...

Hi I've got a front hope bulb (6 bolt disc mount) and its a 20mm axle. Hope did make a converter for this to make it Quick Release (part number HUB415) but I don't think they make it any more. Does anyone have one lying around in the shed or have a duff hub that I can salvage it from ? I'd...

No not yet, I don't have a Xizang... maybe I'd have to post up a sad face! :(
