    Request for info about MTB frames to suit 1 1/4" steerer diameter forks?

    Hello All Back in the 90s I had a Muddy Fox Alu Pro fitted with lovely rigid steel forks with a 1 1/4" diameter steerer. Unfortunately I cracked the frame and rather than getting it repaired I took it to the local tip, (and all these years later I'm still irritated with myself for not keeping...

    Wow that’s a bit Rusty

    Yes that looks beyond saving to me. It's a shame as on first glance it looks to be in pretty good condition.

    Early 90's Marin for road duties - weight question

    I've weighed it not very scientifically using the bathroom digital scales and weighing myself whilst holding the bike up and then subtracting my own weight. The bike weighs 10.4 kilos. The frame is a 21.5" and these Marin frames aren't the lightest but they're extremely durable - there's plenty...

    Question about Bolts for Shimano XTR V Brakes (M951)

    Re: Thanks for all the suggestions and advice given. I've ordered the Shimano bolts on eBay that Once a Hero kindly linked to. Hopefully I won't get clobbered with import duty and a handling fee when they arrive in the UK from the US. Richard

    Question about Bolts for Shimano XTR V Brakes (M951)

    Hello All I'm sure most people know that the securing bolts for Shimano XTR V brakes (M951 etc.) are almost impossible to find if you don't already have them. You can't use regular 6mm Allen bolts as the heads of these bolts are too big to give clearance to the cam and rod mechanism on the V...

    Advice about 7 speed cassettes please

    Hello all I have a 1990s Marin Muirwoods and I need a new 7 speed cassette, (I want to stick with 7 speed as I like the Shimano shifter I have and I want to keep the bike fairly original). My question is would the Shimano CS-HG41 7 Speed Acera Cassette from Tredz be a good choice for a...
