Sorry, it's taken me a while to get back to this as my sister doesn't ride very much!! Thank you all for your suggestions and advice. In the end we seem to have solved her problems by setting the gears up properly (disappointed the shop that sold and serviced it didn't do it properly ☹️ ) and...

I'm looking for headset bearings to replace those in the Zero Stack system for 1 1/8" - that's according to the spec sheet as I don't know what I'm talking about! I've been trying to work it out but nothing seems to look like what I've got. Has anyone got any suggestions please? As you can see...

Good point about the opposable thumb! 🤣 In practice, are there any real differences between the SRAM Gripshift and Shimano Revoshift? .... and why the general preference for SRAM? I had originally thought of sticking to Shimano as per her derailleurs but as they're compatible that's not an...

That's brilliant, thank you all for your help. I'll work out in due course whether I'm cultured, a pleb or an idiot! 🤣🤣 Her current shifter is a Shimano EZ Fire Plus with a Tourney mech and she only needs the front triple. Very much low budget to test the water and see how she gets on with...

Hello, I'm asking for advice on behalf of my sister who is getting into MTBing and has a basic Forma MTB, triple front and seven (I think) on the rear. She has an old injury to her left thumb and is finding shifting gear quite painful. I've tweaked the set up for her and the bike shifts well -...

🙁 Ah well, thanks for trying.

Sorry, wasn't ignoring you .... I've been waiting for an automatic notification - Doh! Assuming the clamp is 26mm, would you mind taking photos with a ruler alongside for scale please. Roughly speaking, 2.5" is about 65mm so they might work but difficult to say without seeing them. In an ideal...

Fantastic! Look forward to seeing what you've got :)

I'm measuring C2C. The 50mm to 60mm range sort of covers whether the stem is a straight out front version or not. Interesting looking thing that - I'm not quite sure what the design is aiming to achieve 🤔

I'm after a short reach 1" quill stem, about 50mm to 60mm with a 26mm clamp area to be paired with a set of 3T bars for my winter bike.. No particular preference of make etc. Thank you :)

Please could you tell me the clamp diameter of the 50mm short reach stem. Thanks

Looking for a pair of either or both sets of pedals. I don't really mind what they look like as long as they are sound mechanically. Thank you

Fantastic! I think I've just sent a PM but don't really know what I'm doing, so if you don't get it please get back to me. Thank you 🙂

Are the bars still available please? If so, I'd love to have them - they're exactly what I need to replace ones that have just failed!

Hi, I had a similar problem with needing a shorter than standard top tube to get a comfortable reach and bought a frame that, in theory, was way too small for me. I looked at taller stems, such as Nitto (can't remember which one) and this one from Soma - there are others out there but I'm afraid...
