Try a different locking, the one in the photos looks quite thick, plus if the threaded section is longer than usual then it will be tightening against the hub and not the cassette, that would explain the loose sprockets with tightened lockring.

Standard mech, with an adapter for the outer cable. Trek frames don't have a cable stop for the outer, they used this method instead with the specific outer

Just a quick observation which might or might not be no longer relevant... Unless things have changed, I am pretty certain that caygills don't paint their own frames, but send them away. When I got my road frame repainted a fair few years ago, I took it straight to Bob Jackson's, who were...

as usual it looks like Sheldon has the answer, almost - scroll down to "dropout clips" under "secondary retention devices", and there is something very similar https://www.sheldonbrown.com/skewers.html

that looks like some sort of catch that will stop the spindle coming out of the dropout if the QR lever is undone. My guess is you need to hold the black tab up/down in order to let the wheel out

I was thinking along the same lines - some sort of gizmo to lock the QR lever in place? We need a Univega catalogue...

But if that was the case then surely the other side would be the same?

Do you mean a hole caused by rust? Or a vent hole? A picture would help

Max lite? Looks more like max heavy.... :eek:

These ride great, and I can recommend the brahma bars! rode a Galaxy with Brahma's around India in 1993, then my dad had it for many years until the BB shell rusted through due to lack of cleaning and being stored outside for 20+ years!

yes T2 is 7 speed, T3 is 8 speed. I just saw on their website that the "T" series (the ones with clutches) are designated as 1x only, it's the "A" series that is for 1x/2x/3x, but they don't have a clutch... I can't see why the "T" models wouldn't work with a double chainring, so long as there...

I only just saw these - ltwoo make mtb rear mechs with a clutch for 7 speeds and up! Posting here as clutch tech is "modern", but might be better in pre-98 as it relates to 7 and 8 speed? Anyone tried them? I think I will order an 8 speed version for my Yates - seems to be standard Shimano cable...

Is it that they just don't want to, or have no idea? I have sometimes just asked for bb-saddle tip, saddle tip to bars, and BB to bars. Only works if a complete bike, but gives a good idea of if I can make it work

Now that's an early 90's paint job if ever there was one!

Wrong is what it is....
