Yes indeed! All of our bikes have had a 1x system from about 2007 onward. I have a problem with front derailleurs I'm afraid. And no NW-chainrings either! (The road bikes have never dropped a chain, I'm assuming because the shortish chainstay. The mountain bikes with a longer chainstay have...

Still looking for this!

Very late update. Last year I managed to locate a long lusted after and beautiful Shamal wheelset for this bike. The price was cheap as chips as the rear rim had some hairline cracks (because of the low spoke count, you know the story). However as the wheels were completely true, the spoke...

Managed to buy cheap but fancy modern carbon wheelset with deep 50mm clincher rims, DT Swiss Straightpull hubs and a Campy freehub. As this Principia is my only bike with 10 speed Campagnolo brifters I decided to try the wheels. Looks kind of inappropriate but in a sexy way! I even took some...

Hi all! If anybody happens to have 36H Daytona (or Chorus or Record) rear hub available, please drop me a line. Thanks!

Still looking for a complete Hope XC rear hub (or a spare freehub body)!

NOW SORTED! Greetings all. I do not know when these came out so I'll post here too. Want to buy Hope XC rear hub or freewheel body. Managed to destroy mine. Please help. Thanks for looking.

Aaargh when putting in new bearings I managed to jam the Hope bearing tool inside the freewheel body. I'm an idiot. So: please sell me a spare Hope XC rear hub or freewheel body!

Well, your replies gave me the courage to keep on going. With a help of an improvised tool (I picked up a short piece of rebar from a nearby construction site) and some carefully considered hammer hits I finally managed to get the bugger out! And: after a careful inspection it seems the other...

Thanks for the replys! Did my homework before starting of course. So yes I am aware of the circlip inside. But the problem is the outer bearing that just does not come out. But maybe I´ll try the warming thing. In this video the bearing comes out in 10 seconds: I tried for an hour. Bigger...

NOW SORTED! Hi all and greetings from Finland. Been a long time since I last posted but now things are serious. I'm looking for spare parts for my wife's beloved Hope XC rear hub. Want to buy a Hope XC rear hub freehub body or the whole hub. Please help! Thanks for looking!

No updates but a new pic.
