May have to try, got nothing to lose. Will need 2 sets as either side are the same size.

I did try fitting in torx keys but it was the same as Allen key, too much movement or wouldn't fit. Didn't want to resort to tapping one in until I've exhausted other less invasive options.

Thanks, I have some easy outs but didn't want to resort to that. Not seen this Halfords options before, how effective are they? How do they actually work? I'm hoping the play will be solved, one of the wedge/chip type things moves a bit, hoping it's because it's not torqued down enough.

So today I had some time to start the strip down and rebuild of the Mondraker Foxy Carbon R my 12 year old has been riding a lot. It was 2nd hand and had been used as intended, previous owner had previously replaced the bearings they said, but need doing again. I've completely stripped the...

Drillium ;) I've not seen a kit for a suntour post but agree they are lovely, well made and finished. Replacing the bolt with a ti one would shave some grams but not sure there's much else you can do unless you drill or grind out some material from the burly parts without reducing their...

Might have some, will check. 15mm ones would be useful for me actually.

Like these? I removed the orange decals as they didn't suit the build but did buy some replacement grey ones which I never got round to fitting before I changed the build up. Bolts were replaced with purple anno ones. There is not a mark on them that I can see. The build was a garage queen...

I think the chainrings are replaceable, just strange design like one of the stx versions where all rings held by one set of bolts. Could be wrong.

Which version, bonded or welded?

What does that fork assembly actually do?

Got one in here that may suit: https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/various-26-inch-rim-brake-wheels.498378/

T-cut may work, did on a car my dad had, red but really sun faded. Depends really on the paint, sometimes it just is faded and can't be brought back, often the case with fluro colours. You've got nothing to lose, won't make it look worse unless you polish too hard and cut through the colour...

If you can match the green, a green crown would be different in a good way. Black crown and green legs may also look nice, maybe a green stem too?

Yes, there may be many wants but as a result the funds available diminish. It's all funded by selling things, typically at a loss these days just to get things moving, hence not being made of beans. Those wheels are ok actually, almost bought some used versions of the same but seller wouldn't...
