Yeah you're right, I might be better off with a knackered m900 than testing out several XT hubs, thanks for your help, much appreciated @Dr Dremel :)

Thanks @Tootyred ! I looked up the specs of xt hubs (M737 & M732) and seal ring part numbers don't match but if I find a low cost hub I think I will give it a try. I'll keep you posted !

And what would be the right die ? M10 x 1mm ?

Thank you all for the tips :) Very much appreciated ! It seems XT hubs from the same era (737) have the same seals, i'll try to get a cheap one somewhere. As for the threads, I will keep the right hand cone on the axle and put back the left one without bothering too much about the threads. Will...

It's the dropout part but I think I'll have trouble putting back the left hand cone and washers because of worn out end thread...

Yes it is #6 :((( The cones seems to be pretty clean imo, I'll take more pictures tonight !

Hey everyone, I'm currently servicing a M900 rear hub (still need to find time to put up a build thread...) and have a few questions. - I'm missing a seal ring on the right hand cone : how bad is it ? Are these kind of seals still sold somewhere on the internet, or should I rather try to...

Hi @Fatboy1974, I'd be interested in your crankset, if still available. Could you send me a PM please ? Still too much of a newbie to do it...

Well I can tell you this was useful ! I'll get my hands on stainless steel wool and some GT85, thanks for the tips :)

Oh, allright thanks for the tips ! I'll look for a seatpost with some layback. I am not in a big hurry about these builds so I'll wait a bit to see if anyone has a marin 26.4.

Hi everyone ! I recently got my hands on two nice Marin frames (a few pics attached) : Marin Team Issue 1992 (with the rather strange serial number) in original condition, with a few spots of rust (but a seized BB :( ). Marin Team 1993 (M23**** serial number) that was repainted. Therefore, I'm...
