Thanks, ordered some from superstar as I'd bought some skf from them before, but ended up with some others as it was fairly good value for 2x packs of 4 at £9.99 each.

That's crazy. Why does it need that? What's the issue, I'm intrigued to understand.

It's hard to tell from the pics, but I'm not sure they are Shimano. Something about the decals is nagging at me. It could be a mix of metals, sometimes some were alloy, others steel. I'd expect signs of rust ion the exposed teeth if the outer was steel, but could be wrong about everything.

The answer is simple. The site cut off for retro is 1997, so if made on or before, yes, else no. I'm sure other timelines are used elsewhere but on here, that's what it is.

I've got a bag of bits so may have what you need?

I forgot I did have this very experience, though I was acting as a middleman to help someone get a bike to the States as seller wouldn't post. I took delivery of the item, and fortunately took pics of it all as I unpacked it. The seller had not rotated the frame or cassette, and the cassette...

You'd have to say it is very similar to the crystal design s one aside from the obvious differences. Maybe they made different versions for different types of crank, as the other two pictured have different cut outs but the ops pic has none?

So, it worked out very well Placed order and box/packaging was despatched next day so it got to the seller 2 days before the collection date, giving them plenty of time to get it boxed. The box itself was sturdy and large, bike needed both wheels taken off as well as handlebars, but that's...

I bought a set of the test sl cranks recently but there is some wear I'm concerned about, rub which has made it through the decals and into the carbon up top next to the axle bolt. I could forget about it and buy some decals to cover it, but wondered what the real difference is between the...

I shouldn't, but I'miking the look of those skewers. Could I take them please.

I've tried and failed a number of times. Not to sell up and leave the scene, but attempting to downsize as it's a space issue for me. I've tried to let go s few builds, frames and parts to clear space but it rapidly gets replaced. I counted at least 19 bikes in my shed, some built, some frames...

I think the front lever will do a double shift/click, but the rear is single only. Could be wrong.

No idea but I seem to recall.a wanted post for one that looked like this, maybe they know?

I hear you, it's one of the things that grinds my gears and why I pack things so well. Someone pays for something and should expect it to arrive as purchased. Cash has parted ways, the least the seller can do us take care and attention when packing and posting. Hell, I may even bubble wrap...

Hi, could well be up for the 12sp stuff for my recently acquired bike I need to refresh a few parts to get it rideable for my 12 year old. Is the cassette micro spline or does it fit a standard Shimano cassette (currently got 11sp on there). Could also be up for the brakes, how long are the...
