Yes agreed....I will take it to the experts and confirm with them that what I think is doable is doable with a CK headset and my frame. Then order based on their recommendation and get them to fit the whole thing.

If my Head Tube is JIS Std (or EC29, specified as Head Tube Bore ID of 29.8mm-29.9mm), mine is a little bit narrower at 29.58mm and perhaps that variance is just down to my calipers.The CK 1" Nothreadset requires a Head Tube Bore of 30.1mm (EC30) and therefore wont fit So from what I can gather...

Re: Thanks guys for the responses.... i apolgise I am still very much an amateur here and thereforeI am not totally 'aux-fait' with the language you are using. JIS - my understnding this relates to a Japanese standard for headsets which is slightly small than other standards for headsets. As...

As it is Xmas I thought I might treat myself to a Chris King 1" Headset for my 1995 Orange P7. So before my enthusiasm ran away with me I thought I had better check that it fits... So my understanding is the inner dimension of a NoThredset 1" headset from Chris King is 30.1mm. With a pair of...

Re: Thanks for that......got my eyes on a set of Park Tools wire cutters....seems you get what you pay for in this area...

Thankyou for such a detailed response....the question of Orange cabling appears to be an artform in its own right!! I will take extra care when cutting the new outers to the exact size of the originals. The indexing when the bike was new I considered to be pretty much spot on...I hope I can...

Some advice would be much appreciated. Looking to buy a set of both gear and brake cables and associated outers for my 1995 Orange P7 M737 groupset. I would want to go new rather than retro and stick with Shimano and am leaning towards getting the best I can. Been a bit confused over Polymer...

Been a while since I posted but due to Covid things have slowed down......specifically the frame restoration, which hopefully I will get back from ACS in the next few weeks. Everything else is ready for re-fitment and to say I am gaging would be under statement. Although I stripped the wheels...

yakboy....deep respect, that can't of been easy!

Just another recommendation for this product and thanks to Pechy for putting the video together otherwise I think I would have simply bought a replacement. It was remarkable easy and I completed the task in about 30 minutes. My wife was so impressed with the result she is trying to get me to do...

Thanks Hamster for the advice......

Timing wise it might be an early Xmas present.... I will keep with the original seat post as it has come up rather nicely, although not shown in the photo, and I never had a problem with it slipping. The only bits which wont be original or period will be the bar end stoppers, cables, brake...

Whilst the frame is away being sorted, the mice are busily cleaning the other bits.....

Thanks...tried that and it worked......held my breath though:)

Ok so I have as set of these and want to have my V Brakes mounted behind the forks. Currently the mounts are orientated for front mounting. I can only find a user manual for RC36's and in that it simply states 'remove the cap bolt on the brake clamp and slide it off the leg and reposition on...
