I haven't got back to it yet but I was thinking of needle nose pliers myself after giving the derailleur a 7 day soak in WD-40 and trying the correct size JIS screwdriver without luck. I don't think I had seen the design of what you mentioned however. Thanks!!! for the heads-up.

Hi Folks, Do any of you use Executive Bifocals or Trifocals when your cycling and/or walking? I would like to know your experiences and recommendations regarding these. Which lenses, material, polarised or not, segment heights? Who crafted them for you? I have been learning about...

Thanks Mate, Pity they're a bit damaged. The slots are JIS spec (dot on the head) not Philips and the damage most often occurs with the use of Philips Head screwdrivers. That's another problem I am working on. I've since bought a JIS No. 2 screwdriver...

I want one that is in good order please but the threads of the screws appear to be in good shape. What condition are the slots in the screw head like? Thanks!

Hi Folks, Images attached. This plate was also used in the following models: RD-M730 RD-M732 RD-M735 RD-MT62 Thanks, mtb.

Hi Folks, Firstly a little history. I bought the hub new (NOS) in 2013. At one time I installed an 8-10 Freehub Body on it to use a 9-speed cassette instead of the limited 12-32 7-speed SRAM cassette. I learnt later that you could use 8 from 9-speed and 9 from 10-speed cassettes on a 7-speed...

Hi Folks, 2 images attached. I have a used Deore DX M560 Rear Derailleur with a Stroke Adjusting Screw that I haven't been able to unscrew any further because the head has become damaged due to the torque required to turn the screw. I am guessing that the screw and/or housing has some kind of...

Hi Folks, I've acquired a Shimano Deore DX RD-M650 rear derailleur. It has 10 tooth pulleys. Can 11 tooth pulleys be used with it? Thanks!, mtbvfr.

Re: Re: How does that left one shape up to the measurements I posted? Thanks, MTB.

Really?! That would be so 8) Looking forward to a pic. Thanks, MTB.

Hi Folks, Has anyone got a 26.0mm Seatpost with some setback (10-15mm) that they wouldn't mind parting with? Thanks, MTB.

As you can see from the attached photos, the bearing race is damaged. I will need to go to a shop that I know has a vernier caliper to get more accurate measurements than what I have already posted.

PM sent.

Hi Folks, I need a left rear cone for my 1993 vintage Shimano Deore LX FH-M560 rear hub. I think the CN-R080 is the model I need. The diameter is more than 15mm but less than 17mm and could be less than 16mm. The length is 15mm or maybe 15.1mm. It is very similar in design to the CN-R002...
