I think it's like the ones distributed in Spain by the Spanish manufacturer and distributor Macario. The rear stays are very distinctive, and so is the cable hanger. I remember them in green and gray, although I seem to recall seeing one in polished aluminum on Wallapop recently, but I didn't...

Yes, they are very durable, I can vouch for that. I have quite a few installed and use them frequently. And not just me, my kids use them too. The last one I put on my Kastle XC 900 F was a first-generation unit that I've had since 2001 and it's still working perfectly. I have a 10S version...

Absolutely agree. It's like a belt and shoes; they have to be the same color. Good taste is essential. 🤣 🤣 👍 👍

It's a shame you're not using this X0 in the end, although I admit the white 9.0 is spectacular and looks fantastic on this bike. I want to build a bike with that model, but in white, and it's proving extremely difficult to find a working unit of that generation. For now, my next bike will have...

some more photo

And I think I've finished it now. It's so beautiful and brings back such wonderful memories that I'm in love with it.

I was thinking of buying some pink grips to replace the Plastiche Cassano ones, but in the end I preferred yellow. Since I really like the Ritchey grips, I bought some new ones, and they were indeed yellow, but an outrageously bright lemon yellow. Moral of the story: never buy anything yellow...

Oh! I also changed the saddle for a red one. I really like the contrast between the green and the red, so I think the SLR camera suits it better. And even though it's raining in Madrid, I was eager to take the obligatory "finished bike" photos. Honestly, I love it; it's outrageous!

Well, the bike was almost finished. Basically, just the decals for the freshly painted cranks. It's amazing how a small piece of white vinyl can change everything. I don't know if I've mentioned it, but as you can see, I've fitted Rolf Satellite wheels simply because I think they look good...

In Spain, the tradition for All Saints' Day (November 1st) is to visit your relatives in the cemeteries and also go to the theater to see Juan Zorrilla's classic play, "Don Juan Tenorio." Well, theaters now only want to put on subsidized plays, and actors don't like the classics, so that...

Finding them was a complete coincidence. I wasn't looking for anything Magura-related; they just appeared and I fell in love with them. Then I realized they looked more distinctive than the original black steel ones. I need to adjust the brakes again, since I changed the position of the pistons...

Thanks Dr. Zocchi. The truth is, all the material you have for Marzocchi forks is impressive. On your website, I found the necessary pressures for adjusting the fork and many other very interesting things.!

And the final points: The engraving depth can be adjusted, but it's trial and error. The best thing to do is bring an aluminum plate and test different intensities. On the Ringle lid, I used a low-power fiber laser, and that was enough. But with other materials, you have to do tests before...

Here I used a system similar to the one you want to use with Ringle: I found a NOS Paris-Gao-Dakar rear hub, but without the original decal. Then a front hub in good condition appeared with the decal still clearly visible. With care and oil, I was able to peel it off intact. Then we scanned and...

It's probably not what you're looking for, but sometimes you just need to modify the file slightly. If you're looking for other brands like Specialized, Mavic, Klein, Ritchey... you'll be very satisfied with your search. Next, you need to specify the size, which is usually the height x the...
