I think there are 4 lengths of mini V arm available. I cant remember who makes what, or did make what. A bit of a pain, and not cheap, but it might be possible to get the perfect match of arm and lever as lever ratios do vary.

There has been a lot of links to hot Italian metal lately.

Ooh!... i will be in touch.

It doesn't look great and is not ideal, but i think if there was an issue then we would know about it. Travel Agents and copies have been around a long time now, and lord knows how many are being used, so if there was a problem then Problem Solvers would be deep in the do-do , by now. I am...

@DalryBikeDepot - i could be interested in the Coyote, but i think it is too short. You say the top tube measurement is 54cm between the seat tube and head tube. Do you literally mean between the tubes, or do you mean center to center? Also; what is the head tube length?

I am sure this was all blown well out of proportion though, by haters. My understanding was there was an issue, very early on with the aluminium frames, where a small number of frames cracked. Might have been one batch and I think it was a heat treatment post welding, or something not right with...

I have a bunch of canti's in boxes and bags that i have used. 2 bikes worth of Frogglegs in blue and black, a set of M900 with an extra front pair, M650's, and a set of Avid Shorty Ultimate and i can honestly say that they were all about the same as each other. All used with the same BXP pads ...

gone already

the good thing about wheels is you can do all sorts of wrong and yet the wheel will not kill you as long as the spokes are taught enough so it doesn't wobble too much, or collapse, immediately. Better built wheels last longer ,before needing some help, but not so well built can last well. I...

the state of it!

Have you got any frames for sale?

You are one vowel away from creating some forum adverts that will eclipse "country girl"

My favourite Zaskar is the early example that is local to me. Dude rolls around on it with the saddle too low on what is an already way too small frame for him, wearing great big work boots and hi-viz, and a Tesco express bag hanging off each end of the handlebar. It is as dull as aluminium can...

That shine and the components make it look like a christmas cracker cheap shiny plastic model
