    xt 732 rear mech cable tensioner bolt

    Hi, I managed to strip the thread on the cable tension bolt on my xt732 rear mech yesterday. The bolt is seated in the mech with a square section base, onto which you screw the nut to tension the gear cable. Any body got a spare one or a knackered mech with a functioning bolt? Thanks, Sam

    Upgrading brakes?

    As I think about swapping from my all weater mtb commuter to my champion mondial as the weather gets better (optomistic). I rode it today and really noticed HOW much worse the 1978ish brakes are, compared to the vbrakes. I thought, "this is a bit daft: father of 2 rolling around with 30 year old...

    FS COMPONENTS CLEARANCE (A) ROAD & MTB FURTHER REDUCTION

    Hi If it was not too much trouble, could you perhaps measure hte vertical distance from the central frame attacher bolt to the top and bottom of the brake pad holder areas? Then I could see if they fit... Thanks, Sam

    FS COMPONENTS CLEARANCE (A) ROAD & MTB FURTHER REDUCTION

    quite fancy those ultegra calipers, but first a lame question: If I have a 650c champion mondial (1978ish) but fancy better brakes, will these calipers fit? or will they be only working on modern 700c bikes??

    Diamond in the rough..

    It does seem highly unlikely that anybody knows who owns the bike, it really has been sitting there for a long time. I have been thinking about, cough, creative ways to take ownership but it can't be done. Not by me anyway. Murder, Rape, Bike Theft etc are not really things I am comfortable...

    Diamond in the rough..

    Well, it had crossed my mind that offering money for the bike might encourage somebody to declare possession one way or another, but so far it hasn't happened.. I think the frame is in ok nick though the rest is totally shagged.
