Thank you @ishaw for digging those out an going to the trouble of taking a photo, and @Nothin-fancy for sharing your thoughts on the CX50s (d'oh!). Thanks also @2manyoranges for lightening the tone :D . I'm sure you'll all be somewhat amused to hear I've just cracked and bought some Avid Shorty...

Thanks, I did see those but discounted them as I need a frame and fork set. @ishaw would you mind please? That would be fantastic if you can. I can swap my ti ones with the shoulder if they are any use to you. I slept on it and realised grinding the shoulder off the posts won't work, as I'd...

Thanks all, this is very helpful - but also confirming what I feared. I'll post photos tomorrow, but the frame is (a) definitely not counterbored; and (b) the threaded section of the posts is bottomed out. I have a grinding wheel so I think my first step will be to try removing the lip. If...

I've spent way too much time and money trying to sort what should be a really simple part to fit. My frame has replaceable M10 canti studs front and rear. I had to get new sets because the old ones were knackered - so far, so easy. But every pair I can find has a larger-diameter part at the...

Further £5 off various items.

Sold, thank you :-)

Still for sale

Thanks @ZENNOUN, but I'm all sorted now. V. kind though :-) .

Few items sold, price drops on others.

One One Pompino frame and fork Stickerbombed and 'kintsugi' style touch up with gold paint. Unforunately I can't get the flippin drive-side BB out. It's an Octalink V1 one, either 5500 or 6500. 109.5mm axle. The L/H side cup came out easy, and I installed the BB myself only about two years ago...

San Marco Squadra 'No Slip' saddle. Titanium railed version, only weighs 272 grams which is very respectable for a leather sofa like this. There is some wear to the two back corners, I've pictured both so please look at the photos carefully. Apart from that I think it's in great used...

***SOLD*** Cheap for a reason. One stuck pedal! Not sure why - I fitted the pedals myself no more than a year and a half ago, I used pedal washers, and I'm normally diligent with the copper slip. I can only think I missed it off by accident. I've not tried heat or plusgas or even a cheater bar...

Thank you, sorry to put you to the trouble. I'm hoping for a garage queen type set (I only need a rear) so I will pass, but they do look a decent buy 👍 .

@SantasLoneCruzer will you be selling these? They look reyt enough to me :-)

Interested in these - couple of Qs please if I may? Are any of the plastic spring cover doodahs cracked? And do any of the arms have the XTR printed logo on still?
