Re: Excellent! Why not make an a reasonable offer on eBay

ParkPre USA original 1997 saddle http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-53481 ... olid=11111 ParkPre PFR 120mm stem http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-53481 ... olid=11111 Ritchey Forcelite 560mm Bar http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-53481 ... olid=11111 Silver PulStar front and rear hubs 32H...

Putting some stuff up from the garage: Front Magura HS33, working, but no pads or booster https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre ... 3722476190

I actually have no idea what grade it was. I cut a couple of chunks from a piece of 10mm thick flat bar that I still had. I had it left over from making an exhaust manifold a while back. A lot of "precision" angle grinding later and I was able to get the dremel on it while avoiding my...

Well, I got a bit fed up with fruitless searches, research and phone calls... I have no idea why, but those pawls are apparently magical pixie dust collected from unicorns. So I went out into the garage and made one! The lathe is unfortunately out of action, so I was left with angle grinder...

Haha. Somebody actually refreshed the "retro" conversion recently. I'm not going to look it up though. On the stealth install, it's a Gruber / Vivax Assist: https://www.electricbike.com/gruber-assist/ Actually I'm quite impressed at 200W!!! It is NOT cheap though!!! I've ridden a few...

I'm pretty sure a system like that made some waves in cyclocross not that long ago. Having said that, I'm sure there is a German system that works on decal assist as it interfaces on the crank anyway. I'll look it up. I'd question the value though - 100W, not sure it would be worthwhile...

Sorry, Not a big fan of the hub motor type. I'd be going BB mounted motor, personally. Something like a Bafang. They have the controller integrated and you can actually use the torque they produce on your gears. They go from a street legal (UK) 250W to a mind-blowing 1000W out of the box...

Hi All, I need some help, please! Today, I pulled apart my goldtec rear hub to investigate a little side to side play that allowed the cassette to move a little. I initially thought something was wrong with the end-cap as it looked as if the cassette was sliding over it. Well - I seem to...

Re: More parts have arrived, so have started trial fitting... Not entirely sure what happened to my handlebars - they are a bit wavey?? :oops: Looks like I'll be needing some new ones.

Update: I've stripped all the modern stuff back, apart from the headset which is an M-Part component and is actually in good condition. I have no idea whether or not to attempt to source a period headset, given that this one looks almost exactly like the original... I have already acquired a...

Re: Hi, If they are Tomacs, they should be HS33's. (The name was used a few times in deferent variations) Eye-searing orange/red colour, shorter / more square looking lever blade and a adjuster for the pad clearance. The HS22's have a very long lever blade with a rounded tip - look more like a...

Hi all, I had originally joined the forum for my ParkPre rebuild, but as seems to be the case with everyone here, you see something and start building. I don't believe I've had a single speed bike since I was 12, so have never really understood the attraction before. I found the frame on...

Re: Exotic Carbon Rigid MTB Fork - Disc Only MINT Do you still have it? PM sent.

Hi All, I've decided to put my old ParkPre ALU Max right (back to period parts). Currently sporting shimano HONE, which was fun at the time, but I've obviously seen the light as the ParkPre's seem pretty rare. (image links fixed) So now I am after a bit of advice: While I have a few of...
