I used to do this a lot bitd when cranks got too many marks, or were black LX and could look like xtr with paint remover and a polish. After getting them to a shine, worth waxing to keep them looking good for longer. I used to use a good car wax but I'm sure there are better options. Used to...

Yes, that's the damper side bolt. You'd usually have an adjuster on what is effectively a long Allen key shaft that slides up through the bolt home into the damper, allowing you to adjust the rebound damping. No danger of oil coming out really due to the taper fit of the damper shaft into the...

Thanks, it's been a long while since I built a wheel. Enjoy the experience but not often needed. Remind me if you can be bothered the key dimensions needed. I'm planning a couple, some retro 26 inchers using a hope ti rear and a pace carbon front on some nos Mavic xc 717s (if I dare de-nos)...

There are bushings at the top and bottom of each leg.

Thanks. I'm not sure if it's going to work out too big or not. How tall are you? I'm 6ft and tend to struggle with sizing as sit between recommendations.

Looking to build some wheels, it's been a while. What's the current go to spoke length calculator?

What sort of condition are you after lever wise?

Dropped you a pm

Yes, completely full of oil. I think it's a simple case of filling to the brim, slotting the seal in, excess will spill out leaving it topped. Iirc a circlip holds the seal in place. It's been a while.

Nothing wrong with that bike aside from non matching brakes imo. Large chain rings made you go faster.

I am a huge fan of the xtr m95x range. I say m95x as some parts like the hubs stayed m950, brakes I don't think made it past m951, and there was also the m953 front mech alongside the parts that moved from m950 8 speed to m952 9 speed. On to the cranks. We all know that they were available...

Let me check the stash, may have brakes and levers, maybe a flite. Might have a titec black bar as well.

Great, can I take them please.

Get some plusgas on that BB, it should come out.

I could make use of these is still available.
