Re: If you don't find a swap I may be interested in buying depending on price.

Re: After much searching on here and ebay, much bartering and exchanging of monies I have finally managed to get my Lotus XTR back to original spec. Gone are to Shimano LX/DX components that some philistine put on and the bike now sports a full M900 groupset in good to excellent condition, and...

Re: After a lazy Xmas I have finally got around to finishing the Kona. What I have done: Frame, forks and stem blasted and powder coated. My daughter chose the colour as it is for her. Suntour X-1 cantis, chainset and front derailleur removed and replaced with period Suntour xc alternatives...

Re: I am now sorted for XTR skewers but still after pedals and Suntour front brakes Thanks

Hi All I'm after the following for my lotus build so any help would be appreciated. Shimano DX PD-M650 or XT PM-M730 pedals, I don't mind overhauling them but must be in good visual conditon. Shimano M900 front and rear quick release skewers, must be in reasonable condition. Finally I'm...

Re: Shimano XTR M900 front and rear meck delivered fast and at an excellent price. Many thanks

Re: I had read something similar about 2 to 3mm difference but according to two online spoke length calculator tools and double checking the rim and hubs measements with a vernier calliper it turns out there was only 1.2 mm difference 259.8 right and 261 left. I had intended to order 16x261mm...

I've never done this before but have always fancied having a go. The first picture is:- Two minty fresh M900 XTR hubs with new balls and ceramic grease and one re surfaced cone. 32x 262(front) + 32 x260(rear) DT swiss comp spocks with brass ends. 2 EXAL LX17 26" rims. The second picture is...

Re: Thanks for all the replies I've gone for a pair of XT st-738. Mainly because hunspecialized had a good set at a good price on the for sale section. I'll keep my eye out for a set of st-M900 and if some come up at a suitably low price I may get them as well to compare. Cheers

Re: They look perfect, however I thought the Deore DX ST-M095 shifters where only for 7 speed setups? The setup will have a M900 rear hub and m900 8 speed cassette so would those shifters be compatible? Its why I was thinking of the DX M738 shifters as they are for 8 speed setups.

Re: Thanks for the replies I was aware of the faulty cone before I purchased the hub, its why I got it cheap (£15). The cup surface is not as bad as the cone. It still has its shine but very slight pitting. Certainly good enough for the mileage I do. I just need a new cone to stop it getting...

I've managed to source a second hand rear M900 XTR hub for my Lotus XTR bike. It is in reasonable good condition, however one of the cones needs replacing. I have looked on the internet and cannot fined a replacement anywhere. Can anyone point to a suitable replacement. Thanks

Re: Sorry wrong forum - I have recreated this in the correct forum

I'm getting together the parts I need for my Lotus XTR. One of the items I need are a set of 3x8 speed ST-M900 shifters. However I read somewhere else on this forum that M900 shifters look great but are not all that and to use the XT version ST-M737/738 which are better(also a lot cheaper). My...
