It's a corker

@player can you explain the weird headtube photo perchance?

Just 17 for me, and where 5 are 'keepers'.

After some questions to various paint shops being answered a decision has now been made, not jinxing it either, my Caygill will begin a'changing from August 👍🏻

It's easy to imagine: I took the freehub body off easy enough then put the hub side up on a wooden vice, with the axle area in-between. Then whacked the axle several times on each end, and not a single bit of movement. This is copying exactly what Hope themselves do in their YT videos on later...

I've officially given up having been whacking the axle with a big bloody rubber mallet and nothing shifting. Have to say those hubs are built like tanks, seriously impressed! Moving to plan B with other type of hubs for the Metalhead.

Non-matching brakes and mixing a Ringle stem with the Syncros post, not keeping consistency, tut-tut-tut younger me!

They are indeed home made inner tube fork boots 😳

What a delightful mess that bike of mine was, good lawd! But yeah, it was the 90's, we were allowed! Just look at the size o'that bleedin' chainring, sheesh younger me, sheesh!

Oh that's lovely.

Needs reporting to eBay if the listing is incorrect/misleading?

Sadly not having much success here. All the Hope YT videos on later rear hubs are saying after removing the freehub body whack the axle through with a soft mallet... tried that, no dice. Any idea how I remove the non-driveside anodised end-cap from the axle? Tried a soft vice and pulled but...

Damn you, you beat me to it! 😈

...for a white guy.... *Goes off to put The Offspring on..*

Erm, nope...... but it may still happen as it's proving to be a stubborn old bugger to pull apart!
