    Renovating wheels...New spokes? Or just tighten?

    Which is beyond my expertise. The idea of replacing each spoke individually is that I don't have to worry about pattern and dish. Nipples are all now having a soak in oil before I check for frozen ones. Thanks Mike and cce

    Renovating wheels...New spokes? Or just tighten?

    Hi all 26" alloy aero-rim with Shimano FH RM40 hub. I have the dilemma whether to replace two spokes and tighten the remaining slack spokes or purchase 36 new spokes and replace each one individually and hope I get the tension right and preserve the correct dish intact. Any suggestions...

    Gripshift MRX removable plastic cable cover

    Hi all This is the tiny, 3cm long, plastic cover on the front derailleur (left side) changer mounting. It prizes in and out and SRAM don't provide a part number. Thanks for looking. CHoD

    Gripshift MRX Have I broken shifter by seperating it?

    Still inside - nothing has fallen out. Spent ages on SRAM website going around in circles! I think I must have an early model, '80s pos. Only mine goes to '7' then space and then '8'

    Gripshift MRX Have I broken shifter by seperating it?

    Hi all Learning the hard way again! I thought I had to prize the shifter apart to replace cable. No I don't! Now its reassembled, yes the cable moves but no clicks. The dial part runs against the numbers smoothly. Any instructions gratefully received. Thanks CHoD

    Transferring Gripshift Max. Possible with different stops?

    Re: Transferring Gripshift Max. Possible with different sto No idea! First time using them! If you google "Gripshift Max" you can see the plastic casing. It does not seem to lend itself to twisting.

    Transferring Gripshift Max. Possible with different stops?

    Image correct orientation on Photobucket! Hi all My Raleigh Mirage has the stops flush against the downtube. Unlike the Bronx - as you can see, the stops are raised to allow the adjuster. Shown in picture. Will Gripshift Max work without this adjuster(s) because there seems to be no room...

    How do I transfer Raleigh badge?

    Thanks Rampage In that case I'm probably safe in knocking out pins with centrepunch on replacement bike. See 'white' dots on left headtube.
